Uzu-shio Cruise
The Naruto whirlpools form in the Naruto Strait due to differences in the tides between the Seto Inland Sea and the Kii Channel. This cruise departs from and arrives at Fukura Port on Awaji Island, offering a close-up view of these massive whirlpools, among the largest in the world, created by the power of nature.
The best thing about the Naruto Whirlpool sightseeing cruise is how incredibly close you get. It’s a completely different experience from seeing it from the bridge. You can really feel the power of the currents pulling at the water, and it’s genuinely impressive.
