Do you understand
why it is called the White Seafood Rice Bowl?
This dish is a seafood rice bowl that uses only white fish among the local fish caught around Awaji Island. It is a straightforward and humble dish. The white seafood bowl conveys the taste and bounty of Awaji Island.
The sea around Awaji Island has very little influence from the warm current, so oily fish, such as tuna and sea bream, are seldom caught here.
However, thanks to the surrounding nutrient-rich sea, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Seto Inland Sea, there is an abundance of plankton that gets mixed by the strong current that forms the whirlpools, creating an ideal environment for delicious fishes to grow. There are abundant “rockfishes and white fish” that feed on the planktons.
The white seafood rice bowl was naturally born based on the selection of excellent local fishes.
The dish is served with locally-produced Senzan soy sauce that goes well with white fish.
A must for meat lovers! Enjoy the taste of Awaji Beef!
“Awaji Beef Tekka Don”is served with sliced roast beef made from Awaji Beef thigh and plenty of vegetables, such as Awaji Island onion. Add some yuzu citrus spicy paste on your onion dressing to enhance the flavor. Enjoy this unique and healthy rice bowl dish.

The massive Onaruto Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture with Naruto City in Tokushima Prefecture. The bridge is 1,629-m long, and the center span is 876-m long. The width of the bridge is 25m, and the main tower is 144.3-m.
The Roadside Station Uzushio is located right next to the Onaruto Bridge. The bridge looks different in different the seasons and times, giving it a fresh look every time you see it.
Roadside Station Uzushio is the closest roadside station to the whirlpools. There is a free observatory platform near the Naruto Bridge in front of the facility, overlooking the Naruto Strait where the world's three major tides meet. You can see the whirlpools when the time is right. You can also enjoy the dynamic force of the Naruto Strait just by looking at the speed of the tide during the high and low tide periods.

The closest you can get to the whirlpools from land!
The tidal current of the Naruto Strait is one of the three major currents in the world that flows so fast like the speed of a waterfall! The fast tide can generate whirlpools that will entertain the eyes of the visitors.
The first factor that can generate whirlpools is the flow of seawater due to the tides. The earth is influenced by the gravitational pool of the sun and moon. This is why tides rise and fall.
The current flows from the Pacific Ocean to the Seto Inland Sea or the other way around, and high tides and low tides are repeated every 6 hours each day.
The pulling force of the sun and the moon is also affecting the size of the whirlpools.
The second factor is the strait's topography. The seafloor around the Onaruto Bridge has quite complicated features, ranging from shallow surfaces where the rocks are exposed to the central part of the strait that is reasonably deep (about 100m-deep).
In addition to these two factors, other factors also influence the generation of the "Naruto Strait Whirpools", a beautiful natural phenomenon that cannot be found elsewhere in the world.
The biggest attraction in Minamiawaji!
Uzuno Oka's 360-degree panoramic view overlooking from the rooftop observation deck of the Dainaruto Bridge Memorial Hall.
Enjoy the beautiful Onaruto Bridge and Naruto Strait, the magnificent Awaji Island mountain range, and the Shikoku Mountains. Feel the calming effects of the blue seawater and the green mountains that spread out in the distance. Along with the windmills that generate power from the wind energy lining up across the hill, visitors can feel the energy of Awaji Island's nature. On a cloudy day, the mist over the mountains looks like a cloud, which may generate the mysterious sight of a sea of clouds like hills in the sky.
