Naruto Whirlpools (Whirlpool Sightseeing Boat)
鳴門の渦潮（渦潮観潮船）
The Naruto whirlpools are one of the three major tidal currents in the world.
Spring is the best season to see the biggest whirlpools of the year! The Naruto Straits, only 1.3 km between Shikoku and Awajishima Island, has high and low tides twice a day, and the best time to watch the powerful whirlpools is during the hour and a half before and after the high and low tides. It is recommended to check the tide chart before boarding a boat.
