ãNaruto Whirlpoolsã
The Naruto Whirlpools are located in the Naruto Strait between Tokushima Prefectureâs Naruto City and Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture. This site is globally famous for its immense tidal whirlpools. They are formed by powerful tidal currents: the strait is narrow (approximately 1.3 km at its narrowest) with a complex seabed, and the significant tidal difference (up to 1.5 metres) between the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean forces water through at great speed, creating massive whirlpools that can reach up to 20 metres in diameter.
Transport: Shared departure (vehicle type not specified).
