Tokushima’s own ramen: a dark pork-bone and soy broth with sweet-simmered pork belly, often with a raw egg. The Japan Tourism Agency’s port page names it as the local food. Ramen Toudai’s Odo main shop is the best-known address; it opens every day, 11:00–04:00, on the company’s shop list.
- Short enough to be certain of: 2 hr door to door.
- 2 hr door to door needs a 4-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.

Tokushima ramen and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 2 hr goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 20 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Routes that already include it
Finished days timed from official timetables and our estimates, with this stop in them.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
