    日本バーベキュー協会及び地元四万十の行政主催のイベントに参加する為に2泊で訪問しました。綺麗に整備されたキャンプ場で、設備が整っています。当日はみぞれが降る様な寒さで、キャンプはせずに近くのホテルに宿泊しましたが、四万十川の横にありとても感じも良く、近くにスーパー、道の駅もあり不自由ありません。次回は夏場に行きたいと思います。

    459-13 Shimantocho-cho, Takaoka-gun, Kochi prefecture
    Tosa Jizakeya is a shop specializing in local varieties of sake, housed in a building that resembles an old-style farmhouse and located near the Shimanto River in the Taisho District. It is unusual in that it has sold only local sake from Kochi Prefecture ever since its founding. This devotion to principle is reflected in the fact that the shop never sells sake from any other prefecture. It sells the products of sake brewers from all over Kochi Prefecture, such as Mutemuka, the home of the Taisho District’s famous Dabada Hiburi. In addition, it deals in rare, limited varieties that cannot be found anywhere else. Tosa Jizakeya also sells its merchandise over the internet, so that customers can have sake from Kochi Prefecture shipped to anywhere in Japan.

    仕方なく〇が1つ付けてあるが、本当は✖が101付く位の酷さ。何度立ち寄っても変わり映えしないと云うか、前近代的と云うか、悪い意味で非日常の店舗でした。おそらく、10周目の遍路を実施している私だが、四国88所の昼食でここよりも落ちるのは他に類を見ない。食べ物なので個人的嗜好が入るのは当然としても、食べ物以前の段階で、ここは酷い、最低。今どきの時代に、座布団で畳にドンと座って食事するなんて信じられない...

Using the traditional sweet-making methods they've used since their founding, they create confections with carefully selected Hokkaido azuki beans, dough ingredients, and pure Shimanto River water.

    Kochi Tosashimizu-shi Misaki 543
    This is a place with many mysteries with amazing boulders. The area around the southern coast of Cape Ashizuri is made of granite, and the exposed and piled up rocks make it a nature rich garden close to a boulder cluster. It is said that it was used for ceremonies and communication during the Jomon period (about 1,000 BC-300 BC), but no details are known.
  • Hisamatsu Bakery Pomie

    Kochi Tosashimizu-shi Tenjincho 1-16
    This piping-hot bread shop is in Tenjin Town, Tosashimizu City, Kochi Prefecture. Their Japanese confections, birthday cakes, and gift-ready rolled cakes are popular, and in winter their standard Imo Mochi is so popular that people reserve it in advance. This habit-forming treat combines sweet potatoes with glutinous rice flour. We recommend cutting it into one centimeter squares and lightly toasting it.

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.
