This burger won first place in Japan's best hamburger contest!

Today's theme is "Autumn Holiday: Let's Go to Roadside Stations! We will start at this Michi-no-Eki Uzushio (Roadside Station). This roadside station has two of the best in Japan, one of which is the hamburger I just ate. One is the hamburger I just had, and the other is...this one!

The largest whirlpools in Japan are created by the violent ocean currents that flow between Awaji Island and Tokushima. The Naruto whirlpools are the largest in Japan, created by the violent ocean currents that flow between Awaji Island and Tokushima.

There are people here to help you find Uzushio.
I am Mr. Tobita, a staff member here. Pleased to meet you.

You recognized it immediately, didn't you? There's a whirlpool over there, and there's a whitecap. That's a whirlpool, right?

That, you see, is not a whirlpool.

The vortex is occurring, but it's a hard day to see.

Sometimes you can see the whirlpools and sometimes it's hard to see them?

Actually, some days are harder to see than others, depending on the time of day.

It is the seasonally high autumn tide, which is the best time to see the whirlpools, so we hope you will come and see them.

Please do not be discouraged. We are "Michi no Eki Uzushio" (Roadside Station Uzushio), and as the name suggests, there are many "Uzushio" in the station.

After all, Awaji Island is all about onions. Delicious, sweet onions.
...What's this wig on the side?

It is an onion-shaped wig.

I'm glad there are tastings!

Seafood rice crackers baked in Chirimen 100%.

Oh my! Nice restaurant.

This restaurant overlooks the Naruto Straits.

It is full of white fish such as Spanish mackerel and sea bream. This is because white fish is abundantly available in the Uzushio area, and when such delicious fish are gathered together, the result is a white seafood bowl like this.
