Whirlpools caused by the tides forcing their way through the narrow Naruto Straits.
I have been to Japan perhaps over 30x and yet there is still things that I'm marvel at! I love this country! It may be small by land area but not by places one can visit and be enthralled by!

Here on this bridge that spans from the main land to the Shikoku island is a walkway that takes one to the middle of the sea!!! How marvelous is that?! Not to mention what u get to see under it is one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world! The super whirlpool!!! I have never seen one until yesterday and I am captivated by how much planet Earth has to offer and how lucky I have been to witness so many wonders of life!
Hot off the press! I just left the Kaigetsu Hotel next to this bridge. Photo taken from hotel lobby. 

The Onaruto Bridge is the most amazing bridge I had been onto. Below the driveway is the walkway for visitors to view the most spectacular natural wonder of Japan I have ever visited! The super natural whirlpool! I walked on it yesterday around low tide to the middle of the sea to view the whirlpools. One underrated natural wonder of the world! MUST SEE if u ever come to Kansai area!!!
