A great contrast of whirlpools and cherry blossoms.
- 15527views
Overlooking Inoura Strait, the gateway of Omura Bay, is Saikai Bashi Bridge Park. The strait possesses one of the three great rapid tides of Japanese waters, and whirlpools can appear at any moment. The contrast of the whirlpools and some 1,000 cherry trees in full bloom is uncannily picturesque.
