Naruto Whirlpool Cruise

The Naruto Strait is counted among the world's three major tidal currents. During spring tides, enormous whirlpools with diameters of up to 20 meters form. An observation boat cruise lets you experience these swirling currents up close with the roar of the surging waves—a thrilling adventure. The 'Whirlpool Path' pedestrian walkway on the Onaruto Bridge offers another perspective: you can gaze directly down at the whirlpools from above, and the heart-pounding sensation of standing on the glass floor is truly unforgettable. Time your visit with the tidal hours by checking a tidal chart in advance for the best experience.
