Naruto Whirlpool　鳴門渦潮

Enjoy the natural wonder of the Naruto Whirlpool

Between the islands of Shikoku and Awaji-shima, the whirlpools are caused by the difference in the level of the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Inland Sea.  Depending on the season, the time when they appear differs, so you need to check the time.  Board the viewing ships to enjoy the amazing natural wonder of the whirlpools.

From Awaji-shima, you can board this Pirate-ship to view the whirlpool.

Lunch spot nearby?

Fishbone at Hotel Moana Coast

Using fresh local produce, especially seafood and organic vegetables, and baking their own bread and fresh pasta, this restaurant is a hidden jem, very close to the Naruto whirlpools.  Enjoy the view as well as the food and atmosphere.   http://www.moana.co.jp/eng/

We had the lunch with home made bread, appetizer, pasta, main dish, dessert and coffee/tea, for Y1800.   Highly recommended!

Enjoy Naruto Whirlpools!
