Naruto Straits!

Awajishima 3-year torafugu, which we introduced last year.

This year it will be available until the end of March!

A surprisingly large number of customers are attracted to the 3-year torafugu...

Our hearts are full!

Next season's torafugu (blowfish) are also growing well!

 

The Naruto Straits play a very important role in the growth of fish landed in Minami Awaji.

The main Onion Kitchen at Uzushio Roadside Station is located closest to the Naruto Straits.

This Naruto Straits.

In fact, it is one of the three largest tidal currents in the world! And of course the best in Japan!

Tides are caused by the ebb and flow of the tide caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon.

 

The central part of Naruto Straits is deep water and fast tides.

Both banks on the Shikoku and Awaji Island sides are shallow and the current is gentle.

The collision of these two flows with different velocities causes the vortex.

The rotational force is created in such a way that the slow flow is caught up in the fast flow!

 

The Naruto Straits, with its world-class tidal currents, is a sea of fertility.

Plankton increases as the ocean's nutrients are stirred up in excess,

It nurtures small and large fish that feed on it!

 

? Do you know when is the best time to see Uzushio?

It is one hour before and after high and low tides!

Furthermore, high tide days are especially recommended.

Furthermore, the best time to see them is at high tide in spring and fall!

This is just the beginning!

I'm going to go see it now! I'm going to see it from now on! Check the time!

 

Here is a facility where you can not only see but also experience Uzushio!

The Uzushio Science Museum is located at the Uzu Hill and Onaruto Bridge Memorial Hall.

Visitors can learn about the mechanism of the whirlpool through images and three-dimensional equipment!

The Naruto whirlpools are caused by factors not only on the earth but also on a cosmic scale.

 

Aim! World Heritage!

This is a must see!
