About Uzushio Whirlpool Cruise
- For a stable and comfortable viewing experience, we recommend the observation deck of the large-scale vessel 'Wonder Naruto.'
- To witness the movement beneath the waves, be sure to use the underwater viewing room on the small-scale boat 'Aqua Edi.'
- It is essential to check the Tide Table in advance to ensure you visit during the peak hours when the whirlpools are most visible.
- If you plan to use the reservation-only boat, we highly recommend booking your spot ahead of time.
