Facility overview (1)
What is the Uzu no Michi?
It is a 450 m walkway over the sea, built in the girder space beneath the roadway of the Onaruto Bridge. There are four rest areas along the way, and parts of the floor are glass, letting you look down 45 m to the tidal currents and whirlpools of the Naruto Strait.
Highlights (1)
Can the whirlpools be seen at any time?
The whirlpools are created by tidal flow, so they cannot always be seen. The largest whirlpools occur during the spring tides (in spring and autumn) and can reach 20-30 m across. Please check a tide table in advance for the best timing.
Rainy days (1)
Can I enjoy it on a rainy day?
As the walkway is covered and inside the bridge, you can watch the whirlpools without getting wet in the rain. However, strong wind can blow through in places, so we recommend dressing for cold and wind.
Parking (1)
Is there a dedicated car park?
Uzu no Michi has no dedicated car park. Please use the nearby Naruto Park car park (charged). The car park is open 9:00-17:30 (8:30-18:00 from 20 July to 31 August).
