1. Where is Naruto City? A brief introduction to its attractions

Naruto City in Tokushima Prefecture serves as the Higashi gateway to Shikoku, connecting it to the Kansai region and being approximately three hours away from Kansai International Airport.
Naruto City has a diverse range of nature, with both the sea and the mountains, and there are plenty of tourist attractions and activities to experience, such as the Naruto Whirlpools, one of the world's three largest tidal currents, as well as the Awa Awa dance and the pilgrimage route. Renting a car makes it easy for families to get around, and you don't have to worry about having to worry about extra luggage. Another great thing about renting a car is that you can set your own stay time without having to worry about timetables!

Four-way observation deck and heart-shaped island "Kagamishima"

Nakashimada Higashiyama, Seto Town, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture...

＜Yomomitenbodai Observatory＞ Located on the Naruto Skyline, a spectacular driving course surrounded by sea and mountains, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Uchinoumi Sea, where the fishing huts float. There is a panoramic signboard that displays the scenery that can be seen from the observation deck and the names of places there. ＜Kagamishima＞ It has been discovered that the uninhabited island of Kagamishima in Uchinoumi , Naruto City, is heart-shaped when viewed from above. The viewing point is the Naruto Skyline Shihomi Observatory. However, although you can see Kagamishima clearly, unfortunately you cannot see the heart shape from the observation deck. We currently have an information signboard installed explaining the view from the Shihomi Observatory, and on that sign is a QR code that allows you to watch a video of Kagamishima taken by a drone. There are various theories about the heart-shaped island, but in ancient times, when the country was still small, Emperor Jimmu, who looked out over the country from the top of a mountain, wrote that the country was "like Akitsuno toname no hitoshi (like dragonflies mating)." Because the topography looks like dragonflies mating (heart-shaped), and because Naruto is considered an important land in the Manyoshu, it is also said that "there must be a heart-shaped topography somewhere in Naruto." We hope that the heart-shaped island of Kagamishima will become a soothing scenic spot. Kagamishima is also the island where the Ryugu Festival (a Shinto ritual to pray for safety at sea and for a good catch) is held once a year, and since it is revered and cherished as a sacred place, landing on the island is prohibited. In addition, the area around Kagamishima is a thriving fishing area with many fish farming and fishing rafts and frequent boat traffic. For safety reasons, please refrain from navigating the area in pleasure boats or canoes.
