Travel Diary on December 27, 2020

I woke up and went to nearby convenience store to buy breakfast. I bought rice bowls, bread, chocolate, and beef bun by coupon we got at the hotel as 15% of accommodation fee. It is campaign by Japan's government, "GoToTravel Campaign".
We boarded Nankai Train to terminal Wakayama Ko(Wakayama Port) to go to Tokushima by ferry. Tens of years ago, it was not the terminal station, because the railway run through Suiken Station. But, the section between Wakayama Ko and Suiken was abolished due to road construction along the railway. The boarding gate to the ferry is directly connected with the train station.

Interior of the ferry is so wide that we spent comfortable time until arriving at Tokushima Port.

We walked to Gold Tower from Utazu Station. On the observatory deck, we can see Shikoku Aquarium and skyline of the town.
It is strange that gold fish were displayed on the deck.
