Original Article Original article A Study of Viewpoint Areas and Landscape Features of Modern-day Naruto Strait as Seen in Postcards Kazuhiro OHIRA * Abstract： This study focuses on modern postcards to identify the viewpoint areas of the Naruto Strait and the landscape features visible from these areas. Twelve viewpoint areas (A to L) were identified from the composition and viewpoint positions in 160 postcards dating from 1913 to 1939. In addition, landscape elements and landmarks captured in the postcards were sampled. Based on the results of the statistical analysis of the relationship between the samples and the viewpoint areas, the frequency of occurrence of coastal views—such as the islands of Hadakajima, Tobishima, and Aboshijima of Chidorigahama with its arrangement of rocks and black pines and of Choshinoguchi, appreciated for its swift-moving tides—was high in viewpoint areas A to G (118 postcards) in an area designated as a place of scenic beauty. Clearly, when Naruto Strait became a designated place of scenic beauty, it was found worthwhile to view these elements from various viewpoint areas. However, most of the viewpoint areas H to L (35 postcards) were seen from 1925 onward and were considered to have been discovered later, given the diverse modes of sightseeing available and preservation of places of scenic beauty. These areas included shipboard views of whirlpools and the natural monument of Neagarimatsu. Key Words： postcard, landscape, viewpoint, place of scenic beauty well-known for whirlpools” (Naruto City Board of INTRODUCTION Education, 1997). Subsequently, it was incorporated into the Setonaikai National Park in The Naruto Strait is a narrow strait 1951. However, exactly what sort of landscape may approximately 1.3 km in width and located be valued as worthwhile is unclear. In addition, between Awaji Island (Minami Awaji City, Hyogo presently, studies are being pursued in both Hyogo Prefecture) and Shikoku (Naruto City, Tokushima and Tokushima prefectures to have the “Naruto Prefecture) in Japan. This scenic spot features Strait whirlpools” registered as a World Heritage whirlpools generated by swift tidal currents in the site. This includes a search to determine the value center of the strait. The landscape of the Naruto of landscapes that should be protected as world Strait has been repeatedly selected to represent heritage and its primary viewpoint areas (“Naruto Japan, in the Eight Views of Japan (1927), the 100 Whirlpools” World Heritage Site Registration Views of New Japan (1957), 100 Landscapes of Steering Committee, 2017).

  • Whirlpools at Naruto (Japan) on 17 October 2001 (CHANSON 2002, P
    Whirlpools at Naruto (Japan) on 17 October 2001 (CHANSON 2002, p. 28) by Hubert CHANSON Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland, Australia (Url: http://www.uq.edu.au/~e2hchans/ / Email: mailto:[email protected]) A whirlpool is a vortex of vertical axis, with a downward velocity component near its centre. A good example is the bathtub vortex. In coastal zones, whirlpools are produced by the interaction of rising and falling tides. They are often observed at the edges of straits with large tidal currents. Notable oceanic whirlpools include those of the Maelstrøm located near the Lofoten Islands off the coast of Norway and those in the Naruto strait (Japan) between Awaji and Shikoku islands (Photo). At Naruto, the strait is 1.3 km wide. The differences in tidal levels across the strait may reach 1.5 m with current speeds exceeding 9 knots (4.6 m/s) on the Northern part of the Strait. Hubert CHANSON visited the Naruto whirlpools on Wednesday 17 October 2001 [1]. The meteorological conditions were poor because the centre of Typhoon No. 21 was located few hundreds kilometres South of Japan. Hubert CHANSON experienced the whirlpools, first from the Ohnaruto bridge walkway (uzu-no-michi) and later in a boat. From the bridge, the writer saw a freighter which became trapped in the whirlpools and vortices, and got stranded (grounded) beneath the bridge. The photograph shows a whirlpool formation in the foreground, while the grounded freighter (green hull), stranded next to the bridge pier, is visible in the background. The boat was still grounded 2 hours later, waiting for the next high tide.

  • 徳島tokushima - Treasures Await
    徳島Tokushima - treasures await Tokushima Prefecture is the eastern part of Shikoku Island. It has a wonderful environment – you could even say it lies within a treasure trove of nature, with refreshing greenery, a coastline of great variety and the dynamic Naruto Strait whirlpools. a Tokushima is famous for the Awa Odori (Awa Dance) which is one of the largest events in the world with more than one million people taking part from Japan and overseas. Awa Odori [photo a] is held in districts throughout the prefecture every year in mid-August when Tokushima brims with enthusiasm and excitement. Groups or ‘ren’ of men and women, young and old, dance with such spirit and energy that once you see the dancing ren you will be sure to want to join in. Occurring as the tides rise and fall, the whirlpools in the Naruto Straits are known as being the largest such natural phenomenon in the world [b]. Particularly during the high spring and autumn tides, the whirlpools can b be enormous – faster than 20 knots and as wide as 20 metres across. In the west of the prefecture lie the Ooboke and Koboke Gorges. They form a beautiful landscape, a natural gallery of towering marble statues, within an 8km valley carved out over 20 million years by the powerful currents of the Yoshino River, which runs diagonally through the Shikoku Mountain Range. In the Ooboke-Koboke area, sightseeing boats [c] allow visitors to relax and enjoy the beautiful rock formations and v-shaped valleys. Some stretches of river are for the more adventurous [d].

  • SETOUCHI”, Hidden Charm
    Discover ”SETOUCHI”, hidden charm Our goal by launching a further trailblazing project is, straightforwardly, Western Japan which is focused on “The Inland Sea SETOUCHI”, discovering the hidden charm, west Japan. First of all, Hiroshima has been spotlighted of late as a city enjoying its sophisticated compound function in Western Japan, economically, historically, culturally, and ecologically, which is ideal for the 21st century. Its status has been further enhanced by the Japanese government‟s new project called „Vitalizing Regional Society and Economy‟. By the way, the present convenient maritime transportation system surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Seto Inland Sea is the result of the clever Atomic bomb dome tactics by the historical navy under the Mouri Family, the most powerful „samurai,‟ warrior family who had reigned over the area in the 16th century. The maritime transportation system has had a great influence for industries. Hiroshima is not only the center of business approx. 34% of the total economic base of Western Japan, but it also has engaged in positive activities to support the natural environment including initiating „The Energy Harvest Project in the Seto Inland Sea‟ utilizing the wind and tidal energy of the sea, which is sending us a message on how technology should coexist with nature. We would like to make this year marking the first year to develop another exciting destination for every visitor to enjoy „symbiosis‟ in a gentle light and wind seeking for true relaxation. If we should describe the district in short, it would be water of translucent blue and a gentle breeze off the Seto Inland Sea, combined with the generosity of Buddha and the open-minded kindness of the locality, all of which embrace one another in nature culminating to be the Western Japan and Shikoku Island.

  • Whirlpools in Addition, the Changing of the Tides Can Create Another Hazard Known As a “Whirlpool”
    Whirlpools In addition, the changing of the tides can create another hazard known as a “whirlpool”. These are created when the water from two opposing currents meet and form a vortex. (This is NOT what happens in the sink or bathtub). whirlpool_narutao_formation Whirlpools become columns of circulating water, but without an “exit” so boats and ships are not “sucked down into them. Large ships can plow through them and small boats may be spun around by them. For a small boat this is very dangerous in that it can become swamped – that is water may flood into the boat and cause it to sink. Whether or not the whirlpool appears and how rapidly it spins are a function of the tides. High tides and especially spring tides produce the most intense whirlpools. The figures given below are “highs”. In some cases, these have become tourist attractions with boats taking passengers out to see the whirlpool “up close” whirlpool_narutao_tourists The largest whirlpools are Saltstraumen (23 mph) in Norway, Whirlpool_Saltstraumen_Norway Moskstraumen (17.3) also in Norway, although there are those who think this is more an “eddy” than a whirl pool and Corryvreckan in Scotland found off the west coast between Jura and Scarpa. It has speeds of about 12 mph Whirlpool_Corryvreckan A dramatic encounter with Corryvreckan can be seen in the film I Know Where I’m Going.

  • Example of the Seto Inland Sea in Japan
    Island Sustainability II 131 Development and preservation of tourist resources: example of the Seto Inland Sea in Japan H. Gotoh1, Y. Maeno1, M. Takezawa1, K. Shimizu1 & M. Shimizu2 1Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan 2Tekken Corporation, Japan Abstract Japan has a total of 29 national parks, 55 quasi-national parks, and numerous environmental preservation areas. The Seto Inland Sea National Park consists of the ocean area separating Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu; three of the main islands of Japan. It serves as an international waterway, connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Japan and Osaka Bay, and it provides a sea transport link to the industrial centers of the Kansai region, including Osaka and Kobe. Before the construction of the Sanyo Main Railroad Line, it was the main transportation link between Kansai and Kyushu. The Inland Sea region is known for its moderate climate, stable year-round temperatures, and relatively low levels of rainfall. Since the 1980s, its northern and southern shores have been connected by the three routes of the Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Project, including the Great Seto Bridge, which serves both railroad and automobile traffic. The Inland Sea measures 450 km from east to west, and 15 to 55 km from north to south. In most places, the Seto Inland Sea is relatively shallow and the average depth is 37.3 m; the deepest point is 105 m. There are approximately 3,000 islands located in the Seto Inland Sea, including the larger islands Awajishima and Shodoshima. Many of the smaller islands are uninhabited. In this paper, the present state and future potential of some of these islands are examined and proposed within the context of tourism in Seto Inland Sea.

  • Tidally-Driven Submesoscale Coherent Eddies at Naruto Strait in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan
    AOS20-01 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2020 Tidally-driven submesoscale coherent eddies at Naruto Strait in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan *Yusuke Uchiyama1, Shota Yanase1, Xu Zhang1 1. Graduate School of Engineering, Kobe University “Whirlpools” at Naruto Strait in the Seto Inland Sea (SIS), Japan, are widely recognized as an extraordinary dynamic and beautiful natural phenomenon. The strait lies between Awaji Island and Shikoku Island in the SIS, and has a quite narrow opening of 1.4 km. Rapid currents are often generated due to tidal level differences on two sides of the strait, i.e., Harima-nada Sea to the north and the Kii Channel to the south, most prominently during every spring tide. The narrow strait induces intensive tidal currents accompanied by vigorous submesoscale eddies, resulting in one of the most energetic “whirlpools” in the world. However, because little has been investigated scientifically on the Naruto whirlpools from a geophysical standpoint, we conduct a very high-resolution, quadruple-nested downscaling ocean modeling based on the JCOPE-ROMS system to provide a solid scientific view of the Naruto whirlpools. The outermost boundary conditions for the ROMS models are imposed from the assimilative JCOPE2 reanalysis at the perimeter of the L1 model. The lateral grid spacing is then successively refined from 1/12° (~10 km, JCOPE2), 2 km (ROMS-L1), 600 m (L2), 100 m (L3), and finally down to 20 m (L4). Barotropic tides are imposed on the L2 model, which spontaneously propagate into the inner L3 and L4 models through the open boundaries. Approximately a 16 km x 16 km region with the 1.4 km-narrow strait topography is analyzed with the inner-most L4 model, which enables us to realistically reproduce the complex flow field with submesoscale eddies comprising whirlpools around Naruto Strait as precisely as possible.
