Go to the observatory with a spectacular view! From the ground, get closest to the whirlpool!

Today in Minami-Awaji, Awaji Island, it is the first clear day in a while with pure white clouds and blue sky.
So today, I would like to introduce you to the Anchorage Observation Deck adjacent to Michi no Eki Uzushio.

First, from the front entrance of Michi no Eki Uzushio. On the right is Awajishima Burger, Awajishima Onion Kitchen, the main branch.

Continue to the right. Walk down the gently sloping ramp past the burger store.

Turn to the left. The Onaruto Bridge jumped into view with a thud! The Onaruto Bridge jumped into view.

It goes down a slope.

You have arrived at the plaza.
On the right is a model of the main cable that supports the Onaruto Bridge. It is very thick.
127 strands of 5.37 mm diameter strands (steel wire) are stacked on top of each other, called "strands",
It is made by bundling 154 more.
In terms of strands, there are 19,558 strands! Each strand may be thin and weak, but when bundled together, they produce the power to support a huge suspension bridge.
I feel the wisdom of mankind.
From the monument on the left, "Naruto Kaikyo" sung by Natsuko Godai, an enka (traditional Japanese ballad) singer, flows.
By the way, this "Naruto Kaikyo" was released as a single CD on April 21, 1996.

From the middle of the road leading to the Anchorage Lookout.
You can walk down to the plaza below and look up at the Onaruto Bridge.

We have arrived at the Anchorage Lookout. From beyond the fence, we can feel the presence of powerful whirlpools with the sound of waves.

From the fence. The powerful Naruto Straits unfolds. And the whirlpools!　Can you see it? It is coiled!
The rough waves and whirlpools of Naruto Strait change their expression from moment to moment.
Please be careful not to drop it when taking pictures with your smartphone or other devices.

We returned to the plaza.
