The Shikoku no Michi journey begins at a stone monument where you can see the 1.6 km long Ōnarutokyō Bridge over the Naruto Strait leading to Awaji Island. Underneath the bridge you can see whirlpools swirling, and at Aigahama Beach you can see the white waves crashing in and the reefs being washed away by the waves. A promenade continues for a while, and after crossing a mountain path, you arrive at the Naruto Skyline. In the tranquil inner bay of Naruto City, called Uchino-umi, you can see more than 100 rafts crowded with fishermen during the busy season. Continue past the houses to a small fishing village. Walk along the coast for a while and enjoy the scenery of life by the sea. Climb up the mountain road again and pass through the mountain path of Shimada Island to reach the Konaruto Strait. This is a route that allows you to fully enjoy the Naruto Sea.
