A day trip to enjoy nature

Naruto City and Minami Awaji City are famous concentrations of natural landscapes in the Kansai region. The most famous one must be the spectacular Naruto Strait Whirlpool, which attracts many people every year to check in and explore. Not only can you see the spectacular strait, but you can also walk on the Great Naruto Bridge, enjoy the wonders of the tide up close, and experience the natural phenomena in an immersive way! Trip route Suggested Route: Great Naruto Bridge → Naruto Vortex Tide Watching Boat → Vortex Road Observation Deck → World's Three Great Currents (Naruto Strait) Osarumon Bridge (Hei-947-22 Fukura, Minamiawaji, Hyogo 656-0503 Japan): Open all day year-round, ticket 20.0 First, you can go to the Great Naruto Bridge to overlook the junction of the magnificent Seto Inland Sea and Kii Waterway. Naruto Vortex (the confluence of the Seto Inland Sea and Kii Waterway between Naruto and Awaji Island in Tokushima Prefecture): Open all day year-round, ticket 20.0 The main character is of course the Strait Vortex! To see the most spectacular vortex, be sure to pay attention to the maximum time of the daily whirlpool (the Japanese website will have an update), the best viewing time varies daily. You can take two major types of boats to enjoy the whirlpools: one is a viewing boat that can see the bottom of the water, the experience is relatively shocking, and the other is a regular cruise, which is cheaper but may not see the clearest whirlpool.
