Kochi

City Overview

The neatly flowing taiga and Shimanto rivers are the original Japanese scenery. The sinking bridge, which is said to be the last clear stream and is often seen, is a bridge built without a parapet from the beginning to prevent it from being washed away when the river rises or floods, and is indispensable for the Shimanto River landscape. I would also like to visit coastal views such as Cape Muroto and Cape Ashiyori and Ryugushi. There is a statue of Ryoma Sakamoto, a late-war Shishi from Kochi, on the famous site of the moon, Katsurahama. We also enjoy whale watching sailing from various places in Tosa Bay.
