It’s about a 15-minute walk from JR Kan-onji Station. You can also take a bus, but service is infrequent. I recommend stopping by the century-old Hakueido Yanagimachi Main Store to buy some wagashi. The best place to view the Zenigata Sand Drawing is the mountaintop observation deck in Kotohiki Park. It’s also illuminated at night, so I’d like to come back for another chance to see the giant coin in a different way.
I also recommend visiting the World Coin Museum in Kotohiki Park, which displays banknotes and coins from many countries. The Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Museum is upstairs, making it a unique experience.

You can take a bus from Kotoden Yashima or JR Yashima Station to the top of Mount Yashima. If you’re in good shape, you can also hike up the trail near Yashima Station.
The summit of Yashima is a famous battlefield from the Genpei War, with the “Pond of Blood” being especially well known. If you come here, be sure to visit Yashima-ji Temple.
If you have time, I also highly recommend watching the sunset from the observation deck, but be sure to check the bus schedule. Currently, buses run at night only on Fridays, Saturdays, and the days before public holidays. We just missed it this time, so we’ll definitely include it in our itinerary next time.

Known as a power spot that “everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime,” it was something I definitely couldn’t miss! But the moment I saw flight after flight of stairs, I honestly wanted to turn back.
However, when I saw several people in suits and dress shoes, and even some in high heels, continuing to climb one step at a time, it suddenly didn’t seem so difficult, so I decided to keep pushing onward.
After quite a struggle, I finally reached the Main Shrine! After praying, I went to the observation deck next to it and took in the magnificent view. At that moment, all the breathless climbing felt worth it.
As for the Inner Shrine, I really couldn’t make it up there this time. I’ll have to leave that regret behind and try again if I get another chance.
I highly recommend the rice crackers sold at Honke Funafunedo along the approach, as well as the freshly baked rice crackers at Kinokuniya Honten.

A must-visit for fans of Ryoma Sakamoto. Katsurahama Park has a statue of Ryoma overlooking the Pacific Ocean. You can walk to Cape Ryuo for views of the Pacific, visit Watatsumi Shrine and Hayataka Shrine, or sit at the Motohama Rest Area, gaze at the sea, and clear your mind. On your way back, stop by Katsurahama Umi no Terrace to buy souvenirs from around Kochi or dine at one of the nearby restaurants.

It's a relatively small aquarium with cute animals like sea turtles, seals, sea lions, and penguins. The best part is that you can feed the animals up close. The keepers and animals also work very well together. If you want to experience something different from a typical aquarium, I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying the unique appeal of getting up close with marine animals!
