Uzushio Cruise Experience in Awaji Island (Foreign Guests Only)

You can exchange your QR code for a boat ticket directly at the counter on the day of your visit. It's a large boat with many locals. The explanation is only in Japanese. You can see the spectacular whirlpools. The whole experience takes about 1 hour, but the boat trip is about 40 minutes round trip, and the viewing time is about 20 minutes.

The transportation is a bit inconvenient, but it's worth visiting. It's best to check the official website to see if it's the optimal viewing time for a better experience.

With it being a long weekend, the lines were long, so booking tickets in advance saved a lot of time. The ship's departure felt ceremonial. Remember to check the tide times for the best chance to see the whirlpools.

You can make an appointment at the latest one day in advance, and you will receive a confirmation letter shortly afterwards. On the day, you can go to the counter to show the ticket to the staff for scanning and exchange for the ticket, and then you can prepare to queue up to board the ship. It is a very impressive itinerary. It's a pity that the entire explanation is in Japanese, but I don't think it will affect the interest too much!

You need to go to the center to redeem the boat flight. There are only Japanese explanations on the boat. There is an air-conditioned lounge in the cabin, as well as a drink vending machine and a restroom. When you arrive under the Naruto Bridge, it will drive slowly to allow passengers to watch the whirlpool.

mostly Japanese guests while the guide only speaks Japanese, would be great if there are other languages supplement

It's a rare experience, but it depends on the tide. I didn't see any obvious whirlpool today, but it was still quite fun, although... it was very windy and cold.

It’s really convenient. You can change it at the counter without having to buy it again on the spot. Highly recommended!

This attraction offers excellent value for money. The ship is well-maintained and pleasant. The guide spoke Japanese, but we were still able to see the whirlpools. A timetable was provided on their website beforehand, allowing us to choose the best viewing time for the whirlpools.

An experience that you cannot miss. Great experience at the terminal, easy to exchange for tickets. Very interactive onboard, note that everything is in Japanese. But the view is incredible. Be sure to book a time where you can the best view of the swirling water.
