⁴ᴷ Kochi: Sukumo Station (高知県: 宿毛駅) – Japan Walking Tour (January, 2026)

I’ve decided to take an off-season trip back to my hometown in Kobe, using it as a starting point for a journey all the way around Shikoku. After traveling from Takamatsu through Kochi, Susaki, Shimanto, and Tosa-shimizu, I’ve now reached Sukumo City.

With a population of around 17,000, Sukumo has an interesting layout—the main Sukumo Station is actually located slightly outside the city center, making Higashi-Sukumo Station the one closest to the heart of town.

Though it’s a quiet town today, Sukumo once had its own small entertainment and red-light district. Records suggest it was quite modest even during its peak, with only about ten women working there. Walking through the streets today, it was fascinating to uncover these small fragments of history hidden within such calm surroundings.

  1. 宿毛市すぐ隣の愛媛県民です。
    こうやって夜の映像を客観的に見ると暗いなぁっていう印象ですね。
    宿毛市、市なのに街灯ほぼなし。
    どこの廃墟?さびれた街?って感じに見えますね(´・ω・`)
    通行人もいない、とにかく暗い。
    撮影者さん反射素材のタスキとか懐中電灯とか持って歩いてますか?
    こんな暗いところを灯りも持たずに歩いていたら変質者だと思われますよ(>_<)
