The Naruto whirlpools, located in the Naruto Strait between Naruto, Tokushima, and Awaji Island in Japan, are a natural phenomenon caused by the large volumes of water moving between the Pacific Ocean and the Inland Sea. These powerful whirlpools can reach up to 20 meters in diameter and are most visible during the spring and autumn when tidal currents are at their strongest.
