A hub for rail and bus
JR Tokushima Station is identified by T00 and M00. Rail platforms and the bus stands outside are separate: match the operator and destination, not just the station name.
Use the station information office or JR Shikoku for train times and fares. Train operation, ticket-counter hours and shopping hours are different.
Tickets and station services
The official station page lists a staffed ticket office, assisted ticket machines and collection services for reserved tickets. Check collection hours against your booking method.
Coin lockers and station car rental are listed, but a locker of your preferred size or an available rental vehicle is not guaranteed. Have an alternative for large luggage.
Connect with the station area
The station page links to Tokushima Meihinkan, the Seven-Eleven Kiosk and Clement Plaza. The JR Tokushima Ekimae convenience store west of the station is a different shop from the Kiosk.
Distinguish airport-bound buses from Naruto Park services. On departure day, allow time to retrieve luggage as well as catch the airport bus.
Check by onward destination
Match your next task to the correct information source rather than treating the station as a single boarding point.
| Task | Check |
|---|---|
| Catch a train | JR timetable, platform and destination |
| Reach the airport | Date-valid airport limousine timetable |
| Visit Naruto | Local-bus destination, stop and return service |
| Shop or store bags | Shop hours and locker availability |

After checking out, I came outside pulling my suitcase. I only needed to get to the station, but I did not want this morning to end as a transfer alone. The sky, grey until yesterday, had…
