Shimanami Kurushima Kaikyo sightseeing boat

Experience the tidal currents of the Kurushima Kaikyo Straits, known as one of the three most rapid tidal currents in Japan, on a sightseeing boat. Visitors can enjoy a 40-minute boat tour of the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, the world's first triple suspension bridge, the shipyards of Imabari, the largest maritime city in Japan, and the islands in the Kurushima Kaikyo that are associated with Murakami Pirates. The violent tides of the Kurushima Straits are as fierce as a rafting river, and the whirlpools and foaming seawater that loom before your eyes are overwhelmingly powerful. When the boat's engine is stopped, the experience of being swept along like a leaf in a tree is thrilling and one-of-a-kind.
