Hello, my name is Anna. This blog is about all the beautiful islands around the world.

34 shikoku

As I promised - this is another card from Shikoku island, also sent by Megan! Naruto, where she lives is famous for tidal whirlpools. They are located between Naruto and Awaji Island, and occur usually every six hours. You can see them from ships, or you can also actually walk across the Onaruto Bridge and observe the whirlpools from glass-viewing panels right under you!

Here you can find more information
and photos of the famous whirlpools!

    1. Yes, those whirlpools look amazing, i'd love to see them, but i'll probably be a bit scared too ;)

My big dream is to receive postcards sent from every island in the world (at least those that have a postbox). If you would like to help me, please contact me at letters.from.islands@gmail.com.
