Naruto Strait, Shikoku, Japan

4.0 (246 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Tokushima Prefecture Bodies of Water

A MUST SEE... If they are there

Only worth seeing when the whirpools are there so CHECK THIS schedule first. http://www.uzunom: hi.jp/category/0002107.php The tide makes it best two times a day. The best time to watch it is around the time written there. Blue means the whirpool will not be as big as when in red. If you miss the time when is biggest then you might not see it at all.

    Nice one time expereince
    Naruto strait is quite famous in Tokushima and connects to mainland. Their are lot of whirlpools which occur naturally depending on the tides and timing during the day. So make your you check the time and tide before visit to experience the whirlpools in full effect. One can walk under the bridge and watch through glass windows and floor which looks really good. Kids get excited and enjoy so good if your visiting with young kids.

    Not exciting but very pleasan
    We had a 10 minute wait and then boarded a motor launch. This then took about 15 minutes to get to the whirlpools. We then spent about 10 minutes going back and forth through the whirlpools followed by another 15 minutes getting back to the ship's port. This was not quite as exciting as I had hoped but it was very pleasant.
