Uzushio cruise

Cruising experience on a large sailboat to experience the power of nature

"Naruto Whirlpools" is a natural phenomenon caused by the occurrence of intense tides in the Naruto Strait between Awajishima and Naruto due to the difference in tides between the Pacific Ocean (Kii Channel) and the Seto Inland Sea. At high tide, there is a whirlpool on the Awajishima side and at low tide on the Naruto side, but the whirlpool goes to the place where whirlpools can be formed, so in any case you can see the whirlpool from up close. At the time of spring and autumn tide, its diameter can reach about 20m, and it is said to be unparalleled in the world.

The Kancho boat is a large boat that can accommodate about 500 people, so you can enjoy a leisurely cruise. Kanrin Maru, one of the operated ships, offers digital attractions on board, as well as a barrier-free structure, multipurpose toilets, kids' corners and nursing rooms, making it ideal for sightseeing for a wide range of customers.

Enjoy a powerful mysterious sight created by the power of nature along with a large sailboat for about one hour round trip.

Michi-no-Eki Fukura, where the Uzushio cruise pier is located, is a popular tourist spot with footbaths, such as Fukura Marche, which sells souvenirs and products, gelato shop G. Elm, and chiffon cake shop fortune. It is also recommended to take a walk.

At night, the boat is lit up at Fukura Port, where the boat is boarded. It is lit up in colors according to the season and event, and a 30-meter-high pleasure boat colors the seaside of Awajishima at night. Please take a look at it.
