    Kouchi Pref. Kouchishi Urado
    This bronze statue of Sakamoto Ryoma stands in Katsurahama Park in Urado, Kochi City. Funds to build the statue, which was completed in 1928, were raised by local volunteers. Standing 13.5 meters tall including the pedestal, it depicts Sakamoto Ryoma dressed in Japanese garb and western boots looking out at the Pacific Ocean from the heights of Katsurahama. During the fall a temporary observation deck the same height as the statue is built next to it as part of an event called Ryoma ni Daisekkin.

    Kochi Kochi-shi Kamimachi 2-13
    A spot with ties to Sakamoto Ryoma about a five-minute walk from his birthplace. He trained there from the ages of 14 to 19 in sword fighting and use of the spear, bo-staff, and halberd, as well as in swimming, equestrian archery, and water-riding skills. Nothing of the dojo remains, but the stone walls and bamboo hedges give a feel for how it might have been.

He is renowned for unifying Tosa, and nearly the whole of Shikoku. Before heading to war, he prayed for victory at Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine. The statue was erected there at the suggestion of a local volunteer group in 1999, marking 400 years since his death.

Kochi Areas

around-area-map

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.
