The Naruto Strait is located between Naruto and Awaji Island, the junction of the Seto Inland Sea and the Kii Waterway, and the Strait of Messina between the Italian peninsula and the Sicily peninsula, and the Huhu between the west coast of North America and the east coast of Vancouver Island. The Ann de Fuca Strait is also known as the world's three major eddies. The water drop here is as high as 1.5m when the tide rises and falls, and the tide speed is as high as 15-20km per hour. Therefore, countless vortices of different sizes are produced, and the diameter of the large vortex is as long as 20m. It is a world-famous vortex, which is breathtaking. The whirlpool landscape of Naruto can be viewed from a close distance by a tourist boat, or from the 45-meter-high sky from the vortex road inside the Onaruto Bridge that spans the Naruto Strait.Naruto · 26.6 km from Higashikagawa

Mt. Yashima is located in the northern part of Kagawa Prefecture, east of Takamatsu City, and extends into the Seto Inland Sea. It is a lava plateau with an elevation of 293m that belongs to Setonaikai National Park. The top is flat and resembles a roof, hence the name "Mt. Yashima." If you walk along the mountain trail, you will find three major observatories: Dangorei, Shishi-no-Reigan, and Yu-kurei. From here, you can enjoy spectacular views. In addition to Setonaikai National Park and the Seto Inland Sea, you can also see the entire site of the ancient battlefield of the Genpei War. Furthermore, you can visit the 84th temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, Mt. Yashima, and the elevated New Yashima Aquarium. Yashima-ji Temple is a temple of the Shingon sect Omuro school on Mt. Yashima, and it is the 84th temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage located on Mt. Yashima. Passing through the temple gate, you can see the beautiful main hall painted in vermilion. Standing before you is Minoyama Daimyozin. Inside the grounds, there is the Snow Garden, built with white tuff instead of snow, and the Treasure Museum, which displays various artifacts from the Genpei War. The main hall was built during the Kamakura period (around the 13th century) and is a designated National Important Cultural Property.Takamatsu · 26.5 km from Higashikagawa

I was a bit apprehensive at first but once the lions slinked out I felt calm. The keepers were watching the whole time and the atmosphere was just awesome. The guides are natural entertainers so that helps you not be nervous! I never thought of touching a lion in my life but to pet, walk and interact with both the male and female lions was a must do. The photographer takes plenty of photos and you get a commemorative postcard and can get a video (for a fee). It's expensive but definitely worth it.

In the happiest place in the world (unfortunately, I got caught in the rain). The advantage of rainy days is that many outdoor attractions have no queues. I even bought a travel insurance policy specifically for entering the Mario area, but it was useless because of the rain. The disadvantage of rainy days is that I got soaked the whole time (screaming loudly!). My pants were completely wet sitting on the chairs of the outdoor attractions, and I bought an expensive raincoat (though it was pretty good quality). Some attractions even stopped operating temporarily when the rain was heavy. Next time, I'll choose a sunny day and definitely see the sunset at Mario.

Choosing the right time and season is crucial for visiting Naruto. Take a boat, not the bridge. Seeing the whirlpools from the sea is a magical experience. The deep blue whirlpools against the backdrop of sunshine and blue sky are breathtaking.
