An observation deck overlooking the Naruto whirlpools and Onaruto Bridge, reached by the sightseeing escalator with the greatest vertical rise in Asia.
Escahill Naruto connects Naruto National Park with an observation deck at the summit of Mount Naruto, 295 feet above sea level, via a sightseeing escalator measuring 223 feet long with a vertical rise of 112 feet—the greatest in Asia. The observation deck offers 360-degree panoramic views of Naruto Park below, the Naruto whirlpools, Onaruto Bridge, and Awaji Island, as well as the Otsuka Museum of Art rooftop garden and the scenic Naruto Uchinoumi area.
The first floor also has a shop selling specialties from Naruto and across Tokushima, making it a convenient place to look for souvenirs. There is also a cafe serving original dishes made with local ingredients, including Naruchuru Udon and soft-serve ice cream made with Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes, so it is worth stopping by between sightseeing activities.
