Naruto Strait Whirlpools at Awaji Island

The Naruto Strait viewed from Minamiawaji City in Hyogo Prefecture is a dynamic scenic spot known for its world-class whirlpools. Due to tidal flows, whirlpools up to 30 meters in diameter form, and the overwhelming power experienced up close from sightseeing boats is truly spectacular. At the Onaruto Bridge walkway "Uzuno-michi," you can enjoy the thrilling experience of looking down at the whirlpools directly below through glass floors. The best viewing times are around spring tides, so it's recommended to check tide tables in advance. You can enjoy this experience along with Awaji Island's famous onion cuisine.
