Michi-no-Eki Uzushio roadside station boasts an ideal location facing the Naruto Strait. It stands in a place where the great tidal currents collide, and from the view point, you can see some of the world’s best whirlpools up close. We recommend watching at high tide and low tide, when the tidal currents are even more rapid and you can feel the power of the huge whirlpools that appear one-after-another for yourself. Check the tide tables in advance to make sure you can see the whirlpools at the best time.
