It has been depicted as the setting for a TV drama series and has attracted attention. Enjoy your trip to Kochi. Takashi Yanase Memorial Museum Anpanman Museum The Anpanman Museum opened in 1996 to convey the achievements and worldview of Takashi Yanase, a native of Kochi Prefecture, to future generations, and provides a detailed introduction to the production process and historical background of his works. Takashi Yanase is a master of the Japanese manga world, especially known for his picture books and manga for children, and many of his works, including Anpanman, are known worldwide. Despite experiencing difficult times during and after the war, he continued to encourage people through his works on the theme of “the joy of living.” Anpanman is a hero who shares his face to help those in need, and his story conveys the importance of justice and helping others. The space is designed to encourage visitors to have a kind heart and courage, and “Palm to the Sun” and “Kind Lion” are some of the representative works introduced here. Ryugado Cave Ryugado Cave, one of the three major limestone caves in Japan, was discovered by local residents during the Edo period, and a full-scale survey was conducted by an expedition in the early Showa period. In 1934, it was designated a national natural monument. The formation of Ryugado Cave dates back to about 175 million years ago, and it is a limestone cave created by the erosion of limestone. Pottery and stone tools have been found inside the cave, which are evidence of the Yayoi period people who lived there. It is characterized by its complex passages and a wide variety of stalactite formations, beautiful natural formations such as the “Tamakura Falls” and “Memorial Falls,” and spaces with prominent sound reverberation. The total length is about 4 km, but the tourist-friendly portion is limited to about 1 km, and it is maintained to ensure safety for visitors, and lighting is used to create a fantastic atmosphere. Ryugado Cave is located as part of the karst topography, and the surrounding area is rich in limestone strata, which has attracted attention in geological and natural science research. Niyodo River Niyodo River is a clear stream that flows through Kochi Prefecture, characterized by its high transparency and beautiful blue color known as “Niyodo Blue”, and is rated as one of the cleanest rivers in Japan. The total length of the river is about 124 km, and while flowing through the center of Kochi Prefecture, it has many tributaries, and its abundant water has a great influence on agriculture, tourism, and the ecosystem, supporting a rich natural environment. There are many submerged bridges designed as flood prevention measures, and they are designed to sink below the surface of the river when the water level rises. These bridges are popular for both their practicality and scenery, and have been used as models for movies. Nikobuchi, located in the middle reaches of the river, is a symbol of the Niyodo River, as a place where the spectacular sight of the waterfall flowing down, the mysterious blue, and tranquility and beauty coexist. In addition to outdoor activities such as canoeing, fishing, and playing in the river, you can also enjoy local festivals, nature walks along the riverbed, and hot springs. Kochi Castle Kochi Castle was built in 1601 and served as the political and cultural center of the Tosa clan throughout the Edo period. Some of the buildings were demolished after the Meiji Restoration, but preservation efforts have allowed it to remain in its original form. It is widely known for its construction by Kazutoyo Yamauchi, and has undergone numerous renovations to survive the warring times. It is one of 12 remaining castle towers and one of the few that remain in its original form. It was built on top of a small hill, Otakasakayama, and has an excellent topography that took strategic defense into consideration. The castle is centered around the main enclosure and has a sturdy structure with many turrets and gates. The wooden castle tower is a condensed example of Japanese architectural techniques, and historical documents, armor, and weapons are on display inside. It is currently developed as Kochi Park, where you can feel the remnants of the castle city of the time, and the remains of the stone walls and moats are well preserved. Katsurahama Katsurahama has long been known as a scenic spot, and has been loved by many cultural figures and travelers, with a new ukiyo-e project currently underway. Katsurahama, also known as the site of Sakamoto Ryoma, is an essential place in the history of the late Edo period. In 1928, a bronze statue of Sakamoto Ryoma was erected, and it continues to tell the story of his great achievements to many people. The Sakamoto Ryoma statue is a magnificent statue with a pedestal about 13.5 meters high, and is a symbolic presence that recalls the figure of a patriot of the late Edo period. By visiting the Ryoma Memorial Museum and related historical sites, you can learn more about the history of the Tosa clan at the end of the Edo period and the life of Ryoma. Katsurahama’s sandy beach is about 400 meters long, and the beautiful arch of the white sand and the green pines create a stunning contrast, and it is characterized by very high, rough waves, with many natural stones washed up on the shore. Chikurin -ji Temple was built by Gyoki in the Nara period, and Kobo Daishi designated it as the 31st temple of the 88 sacred places of Shikoku, attracting the faith of pilgrims. With its long history, Chikurin-ji Temple has become a place of training and prayer, where many monks and believers study and cultivate their spirituality, and some buildings have been designated as Important Cultural Properties for their value. The principal image, Manjusri Bodhisattva, is widely worshipped as the Buddha of wisdom, and many worshippers come to pray for academic success and success in exams. There are also a wide variety of other Buddhist statues enshrined, and in addition to academic success, people pray for family harmony and traffic safety. There is a magnificent five-story pagoda on the grounds, which was built using the best of traditional Japanese architectural techniques, and a beautiful garden has been developed, where you can feel the harmony of the four seasons, such as cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves. Hirome Market Hirome Market opened in 1998 in the center of Kochi City, and its name comes from the area known as “Hirome Yashiki” that existed during the Tosa Clan era. The area where the market is located has been a place where people have gathered since the days of the Tosa Clan as a place of commerce, and as it has become a tourist destination, Hirome Market has also become more attractive, becoming a place to convey Tosa’s traditions and modern culture. There are about 60 stores operating in the market, and it is a lively space with restaurants that use local ingredients, stores selling specialty products, and even a facility where you can get tourist information. The stores are lined up around the central plaza, and it is an open space where you can freely enjoy eating, drinking, and shopping, and you can also interact with other tourists while bringing local specialty dishes. The surrounding Yobi Market is a place where you can purchase fresh agricultural products and handmade crafts, and these items exhibited by local farmers and craftsmen are loved by local residents and have become a symbol of the local community. Cape Muroto Cape Muroto has long been known as a navigational landmark, and in 1964 it was designated as Muroto-Anan Kaigan Quasi-National Park. It is a historically important place where Kobo Daishi trained, and even today many pilgrims visit the site of his training. A series of mountains and vast rocky areas face the Pacific Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean can be viewed from the observation deck and lighthouse. This topography was formed by volcanic activity and uplift, and has also been greatly affected by erosion by waves, showing the large-scale changes that have occurred over the years. In this town where fishing has developed as the main industry, the Muroto Misaki Lighthouse is an iconic presence, and you can stroll along the promenade while enjoying the scenic views. Harimaya Bridge Harimaya Bridge was built during the Edo period to allow merchants from the Tosa clan to travel, and has played an important role in supporting the transportation and commercial activities of the region. It has progressed along with the development of the region, and has been rebuilt and repaired many times as the city expanded, and the importance of the bridge increased with the development of commerce from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period. It is said that Tosa clan samurai in the late Edo period held secret meetings near this bridge and planned movements for the restoration, so it was not only a commercial center but also a political center. The name of the Harimaya Bridge comes from the fact that a merchant’s mansion, “Harimaya,” existed in the area during the Tosa Domain era. The current Harimaya Bridge is small but well-known for its decorative design, and plays a role in conveying the culture and history of the region. Shimanto River The Shimanto River is a clear stream that has supported the lives of the residents of the river basin since ancient times, and has been considered an important river in the southwestern region of Shikoku due to its utilization of water resources and efforts to protect nature. This river has been the basis of agriculture and fishing in the basin since ancient times, and was also used for boat transportation in the Edo period. Even with the industrial development since the Meiji period, it has become a place to convey the culture and history of the region as it has become a tourist destination. With a total length of about 196 km, it is known as the longest river in Shikoku, and its basin area is about 2,186 square km. Many tributaries, along with the main stream, irrigate the region, and play a major role in agriculture and the ecosystem. It includes many meanders, and is characterized by wetlands caused by erosion and vast riverbeds. Submerged bridges are dotted in the middle and lower reaches, and you can feel the coexistence of people with the scenery created by the water and topography.
