Our guide

Uzu-no-Michi is a walkway and observation deck about 450 m long, built beneath the road deck of the Ōnaruto Bridge over the Naruto Strait. Opened on 22 April 2000, it looks straight down on the Naruto whirlpools from 45 m above the sea, and it is one of Tokushima's best-known sights.

The whirlpools themselves have their own page, Naruto Whirlpools, about 300 m away. We have not checked opening hours, fees or a public-transport route, so look for local information before you go.
