    馬路村のほぼ全てのお土産が置いてある。 11月-2月に発売しているというお鍋の出汁を買ったが、さっぱりしていてとても美味しかった。 かつおとゴマ(ともに柚子風味)の2種類があった。 観光のことも丁寧に教えていただけるので、まず立ち寄ってみるのがいいと思う。

Opened in conjunction with the Shikoku Kochi Ryoma Furusato Expo, it has an area providing lots of information on the founder of the Mitsubishi Group, Yataro Iwasaki. With genealogical charts including a family tree and a chart showing ties to the Ryomas on display, you can get a sense of his life and the turbulent times he lived in. The center also sells souvenirs and lends out bikes for free, making it a perfect stop for exploring Aki.

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.
