    Naruto Whirlpools

    The Naruto Strait flows between Naruto City and the Awaji Islands, and it connects the Pacific Ocean to the Inland Sea. During high and low tides, this causes the water in the strait to move at up to 20 kmph, creating massive whirlpools up to 20 meters wide. You can see the whirlpools from the Naruto Bridge above the strait or book a boat tour for a close up look at this natural phenomenon.

    For nature enthusiasts, there’s no better place in Tokushima Prefecture than the Iya Valley. In ancient times, vine bridges were used for travel and transporting goods between villages. These days, only three remain: The Oku-Iya Bridges, known as the “Husband” and “Wife” bridges, and the Iya Kazurabashi Bridge. The Iya Kazurabashi Bridge runs 45 meters across and 14 meters above the river below, making it the largest of the three. No need to worry about the sturdiness of the bridges as they are reinforced with steel cables and rebuilt every three years.
