Overview

The Naruto Strait, located between Tokushima and Hyogo prefectures, is a vital waterway connecting the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The strait is only about 1.3 km wide, known for its incredibly fast currents. Especially during high and low tides, seawater rushing from both sides collides, creating massive whirlpools. This is a truly awe-inspiring sight showcasing the raw power of nature. The Uzushio sightseeing boat offers a close-up view of these whirlpools. Onboard, you'll find informational displays explaining the formation of the whirlpools and the history of the Naruto Strait, allowing for a deeper understanding of this natural phenomenon. The expansive views of the Naruto Strait from the boat are also magnificent, offering a unique combination of breathtaking scenery and the dramatic whirlpools.
