You can walk under the Naruto Bridge and see the whirlpools that are made at high and low tide

The road above was quite noisy with traffic. Down below was a lot quieter

Heading down the track to start the walk under the bridge

A few quick snaps along the way

The walking map of the surrounding area. Lots to do and see

Glad the fencing was here to stop me diving in

Anyone worried at this stage?

Really great walkway here. Didn't feel like I was walking under a bridge

Looking down was a bit unnerving at times, particularly when there was only a piece of glass between you and the ocean

Nice effect of putting the map on top of the glass panel

A wider view of the sea and a few eddies

The whirlpools were not at full strength the day I visited, but it was still interesting to see

Looking around the bay

Quite a few other people under the bridge taking a look at the whirlpools

Plenty of chance for a lookout

Lots of little inlets and islands dotted about the place

The under structure of the bridge

Some places to buy souvenirs and eat

A more relaxing view of the bridge

Very peaceful

The colors in the bay were very bold

Lookout point with souvenir shops

Wakame Udon at Naruto Bridge

Lunch with a view

Nice to sit and watch the ships go by under the bridge

The souvenir shops and restaurants had some of the best views

After walking under the bridge, the next stop was to go to the top of the hill and look out from above

It took ages to go up this escalator and it was very hot

Taking a look from a much higher vantage point

The view out across the highway and Otsuka Intl Museum grounds on the left

A very blue day

Just a couple of others around taking photos, watching the boats go by

Time to go back down again
