World's Top 3 Tidal Currents Naruto Whirlpools & Awaji Island Happy Pancakes & Awa Dance Experience (Departing from Osaka)

This was one of the best trips I have booked in Japan, not just because of the beautiful scenery but because of how well everything was planned and explained in advance by our tour guide, Steve. He shared helpful information for each spot beforehand, making the experience relaxed/enjoyable. I was impressed by his fluency in Japanese, English, Chinese 😎Steve was friendly, polite, and kind 🙏🏻he made everyone feel comfortable, took great photos for me and never left us alone, which made the trip feel safe and personal. views were breathtaking even on a cold, windy day🥰and the staff were hygienic. The Happy Pancake place was a highlight, and Steve’s tips helped us get the best seating. He even ensured I had hot water for my noodles at lunch. Spotting a whirlpool on a windy day felt special 🥰The Awa Odori dance was elegant and fun, with live music that made it impossible not to dance—I even won an award 😍I highly recommend this trip in spring or fall for a relaxed yet stunning day.10/10 ⭐️

The tour guide Xiao Liu is very experienced. The tides of Naruto Uzumaki are different every day. We were originally scheduled to take the boat at 11:30 (we couldn't see the whirlpool at noon that day because it was flat tide). He and the driver changed the itinerary to have lunch first and see Awa. After dancing, we went on a boat to see the Naruto Whirlpool. Sure enough, we saw the mid-tide whirlpool. It was very shocking. If you go to these attractions from Osaka by yourself, it would be very time-consuming to take public transportation. Klook’s itinerary was very smooth. The day was 9 I took a minibus, which was very comfortable, and arrived at Happy Waffles at 9:30. However, the waffle shop was very crowded that day, and I had to queue for a long time before I could enter the waffle shop to eat peach waffles. Eating waffles while looking at the sea view is so incomparably happy☺️ I hope I can spend more time at Happy Waffles. I can have lunch for an hour. There are many local food souvenirs in the lunch shop, and some restaurants also sell sashimi. Don rice, cheap and delicious, sweet potato related food is a big highlight 😀 The Awa Odori performance is also very interesting, worth watching 😃 Spend part of this trip to eat a pancake for 1900 yen (limited peach flavor with ice cream) + Lunch rice ball with grilled chicken for 750 yen + Awa dance for 800 yen + Naruto Uzumaki steamboat for 1600 yen. For your reference~ Recommended for friends who like natural scenery😀

I have participated in Klook many times, and this time it is Xiao Liu, the tour leader I want to recommend the most. He is funny, responsible and enthusiastic! Any trip that is not fun will become richer because of the relationship with the tour leader! The pancake scenery in Awaji is really beautiful, Naruto's whirlpool is really unique, and the Awa Odori dance is so joyful! The six of us happily danced together on stage, which was very meaningful! Xiao Liu’s group won another gold medal! This itinerary skips different temples and scenic spots! Friends who like to watch the sea can try it!

The tour guide is good, the scenery is beautiful, the Happy Pancake is delicious and beautiful, there are many whirlpools, it is easy to take videos and photos, and you can watch the Apollo drama.

Our tour guide, Gary, was incredibly patient, meticulous, and provided excellent service. We had a fulfilling day and finally arrived at Shikoku Island, where the cultural experience was fantastic.

The pancakes were delicious, the Awa Odori dance was beautiful, and Director Yang's introduction was spot-on. After completing the entire itinerary, I feel that adding one more stop on Awaji Island would make the trip even more complete.

It’s hard to get a group tour. I felt like I went on a one-day trip to Shikoku. I passed through Kobe and then to Akashi Bridge and then to Naruto Bridge to enter Shikoku. I felt excited. Although I couldn’t see the whirlpool, it was still worth going.

Our tour guide, Gary, was responsible and attentive, making the entire trip very comfortable. The food was delicious, and after lunch, we had some time to buy local specialty souvenirs. The Naruto Whirlpools were also very impressive, with beautiful scenery. It was an unforgettable journey!

It is very economical. Not only can you enjoy the Umon Whirlpool from two different angles by boat and bridge, but the Awa Odori is also very interactive, allowing the audience to participate in it personally.

from the tour description it was not mention the choice of either the boat ride or the bridge to view the whirlpool. we thought we will get to go for both and they both offer different views. guide say can only choose 1. boat ride ticket was not included but we were ok to top up. just a disappointment we didny get to go to bridge.
