Naruto - Tokushima bus schedules/details

Hello! We are going to Shikoku and I'm checking bus timetables for Naruto/Tokushima. I saw this one coming from Tokushima Station to Naruto Park: http://www.tokubus.co.jp/rosen/timetable/naruto2.pdfAnd this one coming from Naruto Station to Naruto Park: http://www.city.naruto.tokushima.jp/contents/fd/narutokouen/gazou/koue...-- So my questions: The bus line/company is different, but the bus stop is the same place, is it correct? We plan to check-out the whirlpools from Uzu-no-michi. I assume the entrance is very near the "Naruto Koen" bus stop? Is it near Naruto Park? Any recommended places to eat around Naruto? Preferable the park area or the station area... -- In Tokushima, my questions: Is Awa Odori Kaikan near Tokushima Station? How to get there? Can I walk there? Other recommended sightseeing places in Tokushima? Their English website mentions little info... Any recommended places to eat around Tokushima? Thanks for the help!

The bus line/company is different, but the bus stop is the same place, is it correct?No, these two timetables are for the same bus company. The first one is out-of-date and covers the Tokushima-Naruto-Naruto Park route. The second is up-to-date and only covers the Naruto-Naruto Park section. We plan to check-out the whirlpools from Uzu-no-michi. I assume the entrance is very near the "Naruto Koen" bus stop? Is it near Naruto Park?Yes, it is: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e7852.htmlIs Awa Odori Kaikan near Tokushima Station? How to get there? Can I walk there?Yes, here you go: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e7802.html

Hi Uji,
Thanks for the clarifications...
Also does it mean there is no more direct bus from Naruto to Tokushima? So my only option is JR train?

Don't know what happens in the last post. I'll try again here.
The fish dish in Naruto is ‘â‹› and the eating place is ‚í‚ç‰Æ

No. There are still buses from Tokushima (about one per hour), as well. Only now I discovered that they are actually also listed on the timetable that you linked (the white area at the very top and bottom of the timetables).

Thanks William and Uji!
Your information has been very helpful.
Last question, we are considering to take the boat tour to see the whirlpools in Naruto instead of just the bridge, since this website recommends it more :)
Just wondering if the bus schedule I mentioned above stops anywhere near the 2 boat terminals? It seems quite a distance if we will get off "Naruto Koen" stop still and walk back...
We prefer Uzushio Kisen since it is nearer Naruto Park and we can walk there after the tour. But their English website is not so helpful with directions, and I could not (easily) find bus information in their Japanese website...
Thanks again!

The bus stop (Kameura-guchi in the pdf file I post earlier) is just by the side of the front bridge pillar in the following photos. If you take a closer look, you can see the small bus stop stand right next to the elevated road sign. It's only a couple of min walk down to the boat pier. http://www.uzushio-kisen.com/guide/guide7.html You don't need to come back up the same way to go to the park area. Just walk uphill for about 10 min on the other side of the boat ticket office and you will arrive at a tunnel that leads to Uzo no Michi.
