Shikoku Tokushima-Naruto Whirlpool

#5月好去地方2025 The Naruto Whirlpool is located in the Naruto Strait in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture. It is one of the three major tidal currents in the world. Due to the tidal range and topography, a huge whirlpool is formed, with a maximum diameter of 20 meters. Taking a tide-watching boat allows you to appreciate this spectacular natural phenomenon up close, which is one of the most representative sightseeing experiences in Tokushima. Before going, it is recommended to confirm the "whirlpool size" on the official website and make a reservation for a limited boat (you can see the whirlpool through the transparent glass). From JR Naruto Station, take the Tokushima Bus (Naruto Park Line)* to the "Tide-Watching Boat Boarding Ground (うずしお榳潮船)" stop. The journey takes about 20 to 25 minutes. After getting off the bus, walk about 3 minutes to reach the pier (Naruto Tide-Watching Boat うずしお機船). 🕰️Business hours: The large tide-watching boat "わんだーなると" 9:00～16:20 Every 30～40 minutes (about 30 minutes) Small high-speed boat "Akako" Sailing at specific times (reservation required) 💰Per capita consumption: Large ship（わんだーなると）¥1,800 Small boat (アクアエディ) ¥2,400 #Narutowhirlpool🌀
