    Travel / Tourism
    Kouchi Pref. Tosashimizushi Matsuo
    This large wild sea fig (Ficus superba) is located on the grounds of the Matsuo Tenmangu shrine in Matsuo, Tosashimizu City. The sea fig, a subtropical evergreen plant that is a member of the mulberry family, is also known as the “strangler fig” for the way it starts as a parasite on another tree that it eventually kills as it grows. This particular tree is over 300 years old and has been designated as a national natural monument.

  • Yasunami Water Mill Village
    Travel / Tourism
    Kouchi Pref. Shimantoshi Yasunami
    Built by Nonaka Kenzan, the chief retainer of the Yamauchi Family from the Tosa Clan, the water mill was installed to guide water from irrigation ditches to the rice fields. The area surrounding the water wheel are now being maintained as a park, and visitors can see up close the sight of the water wheels carrying water. There are about 450 hydrangeas planted along the waterway, vividly coloring the rural landscape with waterwheels.

  • Kuroson Gorge
    Travel / Tourism
    Kochi Shimanto-shi Nishitosaokuyanai
    The gorge along the Kuroson River, considered the Shimanto River’s most beautiful tributary. Covered in a forest of kuma sasa bamboo and old growth beech, it's beautiful in any season but particularly wonderful in the fall with its colorful foliage. The best time to see the leaves is from early to mid-November. A hike to Mt. Hachimen and Mt. Sanbongui takes about three and a half hours.

    Travel / Tourism
    Kochi Shimanto-shi Nyuta 2985
    A roughly two-kilometer stretch of natural willow forest along the Shimanto River, the “last clear stream in Japan.” The scenery is stunning in spring when about 10 million yellow rapeseed flowers burst into bloom. The small flowers are lit up at night, creating a magical ambiance. An annual Rape Blossom Festival is held from early to late March.

    Kochi Hata-gun Kuroshiocho Saga 374-9

    カツオの藁焼き体験ができ、焼いたものがその場で頂けるということで行ってみました。２名での体験だったのでさばくのはなしで、焼くだけということでしたか、砂漠自信がなかったので十分でした。新鮮でおいしく、親切で楽しい体験でした。ボリュームたっぷり、忘れられないお食事になりました。

    Kochi Hata-gun Otsukicho Issai

    柏島の展望場所といえば大堂山が有名だがあちらは行くのが大変です。一方こちらはかつての県道沿いにあるので道も険しくなく手軽にいけます。アクセス道路もいまはトンネルが開通したおかげで休憩所前の道はほとんど車が通らず静かな環境になりました。展望台からは柏島が良く見えます。

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.
