The 30-meter whirling currents are well known as the world’s largest whirling currents.

The whirling currents are seen from the land, but their super power is seen only on a sightseeing boat nearby.

In addition, there is the sidewalk under the road of the Great Naruto Bridge hanging over the Channel

and the view from an observation station fitted with glass on the sidewalk

can see the form of the whirling currents, which is fun.
