To get to Naruto by train you must travel from within Shikoku, because there are no trains connecting Tokushima Prefecture to the mainland, so if you are in Honshu, you can take a train from Okayama to Shikoku. Naruto is accessed from the Naruto Line, so from Takamatsu or Kochi you can take a train to Ikenotani Station and transfer to the Naruto Line from there.
From Naruto Station, go to Naruto Kosoku Bus Stop and take a bus to Naruto Koen-Guchi which is in Naruto Park.
By car, the Takamatsu Expressway goes through Naruto, so you can drive from Takamatsu or Kobe on the mainland via Awaji Island.

There are a few ways to see the whirlpools. The first way is by boat. It costs 1530 yen for the bottom level and 2530 yen for the top level on the Wonder Naruto boats. If you really want to see the whirlpools, it is best to pay the extra fee to go to the top level, because the further above them you can get, the more clearly you'll be able to see them. You'll also be able to see whirlpools that are a bit further away from the top deck.
Another option is the walkway on the bridge. It will take you above the whirlpools and you can look down from special viewing areas to see them. You can access it from Naruto Park. It costs 500 yen.
A third option is the escalator on Eska Hill, which takes you far above the whirlpools but it is also a bit far away. It costs 300 yen to go up the escalator.
There are a few other lookout points away from Naruto Park, as well, and those are free but not very accessible on foot.
If you want to see them from more than one place, there are combination tickets that can save you money. For example, if you want to take the boat AND view them from the bridge walkway, get a combination ticket for 1800 yen. That will save you 230 yen.

First I went from Kyoto to Kobe Maiko train station by train (Kansai Area Pass).
Close to there is a bridge - which you can visit.
There is a stair case going up to the bridge.
There you should find a small bus stop, where the buses go straight to Naruto National Park.
The bus goes about every two hours.
