Naruto Whirlpools

One of the amazing experiences I’ve ever had. They offer like a Uzushio forecast that expects how possible it is to see whirlpool each hour. When I visited it showed the level would be not so high, but it was pretty sunny so I took the next boat. There are 2 types of boats you could take, one with an underwater view and the other that is bigger and not necessary to book in advance. I took the one with an underwater view and was amazing!! The whirlpool was not big just as the forecast said but I was so excited to see small whirlpools. The staff told me that the diameter of it would be about 20 meters if it’s the perfect time. Just seeing a big bridge was nice. I highly recommend this activity.

Make sure to check with the ferry operator website on the best time to view the whirlpools. We took the larger Wonder Naruto and paid for the upper deck access which gave us a better view and also avoided the crowding with the massive group of school kids.

2500yen for the cruise trip, get to see the whirling pools up really close, and the cruise is big so won’t get seasickness

My visit to Naruto Whirlpool in Tokushima was simply breathtaking! Witnessing the powerful whirlpools forming beneath the Naruto Bridge was a sight to behold. The natural phenomenon was truly mesmerizing and left me in awe of nature's wonders. The staff at the observation deck were friendly and informative, providing insights into the whirlpool formation. I highly recommend a visit to Naruto Whirlpool for anyone seeking a memorable and awe-inspiring experience in Tokushima. However, there’s only some time to visit for a big whirlpools

It’s a bit out of the way to get here, but if you can make time—GO. Absolutely incredible to see. We went on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy at all. They provide coin-return lockers for you too and have pamphlets in different languages
