Bay Resort Hotel Naruto Kaigetsu

This ryokan is the closest lodging to the Naruto Strait, famous for the Naruto whirlpools, and offers dynamic strait views shaped by the whirlpools and the Onaruto Bridge.

Whether you are taking a break with a welcome drink in the lobby at check-in or relaxing after your trip in the large public bath, the strait views you encounter in different places and moments throughout the ryokan are truly one of a kind. Many guest rooms also offer ocean views, including Japanese-Western rooms on the top floor, two exclusive design rooms, and 10-tatami Japanese-style rooms. Dinner features kaiseki cuisine made generously with local ingredients. The most popular course is the “Uzushio Kaiseki,” where you can enjoy the blessings of both land and sea at once, including the specialty Naruto sea bream raised in powerful tidal currents with firm, springy flesh, Tokushima’s Awa beef, and Awaodori chicken.

The ryokan is popular for its convenient location for sightseeing in Naruto, close to nearby attractions such as the sightseeing boat pier for getting near the whirlpools, the “Uzu no Michi” walkway on the Onaruto Bridge, and the Otsuka Museum of Art. Accommodation plans that include admission tickets to select facilities are also available.
