    Kochi Tosashimizu-shi Matsuo
    This is one of three observatories in Usubae, known for being the first place where the Kuroshio current reaches Japan. On the nearby sea surface, you can observe the point where the current collides as it swirls and moves. It is a place where you can experience magnificent scenery, such as a terrain that changes from cliffs and caves created by the rough seas and granite rocks that glow in the dark blue sea.

    Kochi Hata-gun Otsukicho

    栢島の展望台であるが、行く人は限られているらしく展望台下の駐車場まではすれ違い出来ないほどの細い道である。駐車場からは急登を数分歩く。 素晴らしい景色であるが、栢島は若干遠景過ぎる。

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.
