Naruto Park holds three sights close together: Uzu-no-Michi in the bridge, the Onaruto Bridge Memorial Museum Eddy about 3 minutes’ walk from it, and the Otsuka Museum of Art about 7 minutes away by our estimate.
- Getting there
- Taxi or hired car from Akaishi, about 40 min each way, our estimate; or the ship’s tour

The three Naruto sights sit within a short taxi or walk of each other: the Wonder Naruto boat from Kameura, Uzu-no-Michi under the Onaruto Bridge and the Otsuka Museum 7 minutes on foot from it. With the taxi both ways it fills a 9-hour call. Not on a Monday: the museum is closed, and on the 2nd Monday of March, June, September and December Uzu-no-Michi is too.
- The Otsuka Museum closes on Mondays. Check the day before you plan around it.
- This needs 7 hr, so it only fits a 9-hour call or longer. On a shorter one it will cost you the ship, not the view.
A Naruto day: boat, walkway and museum and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 7 hr goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 5 hr 40 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
Do · ~3hNaruto whirlpools by boat
The tide pours through the Naruto Strait at up to 20 km/h and throws up whirlpools 20–30 m across at spring tides.
