- Kouchi Pref. Tosashimizushi Tatsukushi
- Out past the western edge of the Tatsukushi Coast within Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park is the only at-sea lookout tower in the Shikoku/Chugoku region. The interior features 60 centimeter-diameter round windows in all directions, providing you with a glimpse at the sea floor seven meters underwater. You can often see colorful coral and tropical fish, as well as migratory fish like sardines and silver-striped herrings in some seasons. The facilities also include a restaurant with a view of Tatsukushi Coast, and a souvenir shop offering local specialty goods, making this a great place for tourists to take a break in the middle of a long drive.
Kochi Areas
The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
