Uzu-no-michi|渦の道

Uzu-no-michi|渦の道
The Naruto whirlpools can be seen in the Naruto Strait, located between Hyogo’s Awaji city and Tokushima’s Naruto city. The current in the strait can exceed 20 kilometers per hour, and the large whirlpool occurs on the edge of the rapid currents. The diameter measures 20 meters. This whirlpool is counted among the world’s three large whirlpools, along with the Messina Strait in Italy, and Canada’s Seymour Strait. The Tokushima Prefecture Uzu-no-Michi is a great place for a comfortable view of the whirlpool.   The whirlpool forms at high and low tide, so it is necessary to check the tide times in advance.
