JR Naruto Station OR Naruto City Tourist Information Centre
- - The meeting point is at the entrance of JR Naruto Station OR Naruto City Tourist Information Centre. JR Naruto Station is a small station, so you will not get lost. And Naruto City Tourist Information Centre is located just off the cable car from Kosoku Naruto Express Bus Station.
Ride a Whirlpool sightseeing boat. The boat ride lasts for about 20 minutes. We will purchase tickets on-site before boarding.The time to see the whirlpools depends on the time of year, so I will change the schedule so that we can board the boat at the best time.
If the sightseeing boat does not depart due to bad weather, we will go to Uzuno Michi Walkway as an alternative. Naruto Strait and the whirlpools can be viewed from the promenade under the Onaruto Bridge.Whirlpools can be seen from the walkway under the Onaruto Bridge at a 45-meter high viewpoint.

“Memorable experience”
We travelled Japan for 3 weeks from Tokyo to Hiroshima via Shikoku and the most memorable part of our trip was the walk of 88 Pilgrimage route with Masami. We also asked her to include the visit to a sake brewery on the way and it was quite interesting. Highly recommendable off-the-beaten-track tour ! Thanks Masami !
