Obatake Seto Strait & Obatake Tourist Centre

Underneath the Oshima Bridge, which extends 1,020 meters from Obatake to Oshima, you can find one of Japan's 3 major tidal whirlpools. The bridge offers, especially to railway enthusiasts, a great photo opportunity of the JR Sanyo line trains running along the coastline on the Obatake side.
At Obatake Tourist Center, you can buy special local produces including agriproducts and seafood. Various lunch boxes such as Igai Meshi (hard-shelled mussels and rice) and other local products such as fruit jam and Kikka-su (tangerine vinegar) are quite popular.
