Awajishima

Awajishima (淡 路 岛) is an island located opposite Osaka Bay, to the east of the Sea of ​​Seto, which is the inland sea between the islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. Administratively, it belongs to the prefecture of Hyogo, whose capital is Kobe. You can get to the island by ferry or bus, as the island joins the rest of its prefecture by the Great Bridge Akashi Strait (Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge Oohashi ).

On the other side, the island is connected to the island of Shikoku by the Onaruto Bridge (Onaruto-kyō), across the Strait in which the currents of the sea clash with the peaceful internal ones, causing eddies in the water (these eddies are called Naruto, which I discuss shortly), which are the major tourist attraction of the island.
