    Kouchi Pref. Agawa-gun Inocho Kiyomizukamibun
    This plunge pool is located in Kiyomizukamibun, Ino Town, Agawa County. Located along the Edagawa River, a tributary of the famously clear Niyodo River, the pool is known as a spot for enjoying the beautiful “Niyodo Blue” surface of the Niyodo River. The pool, which shines blue in the sunlight, is considered a sacred spot by locals. There is also a legend about a large snake associated with the pool.

    素晴らしい景色に感動しました。 昼１４時過ぎに到着して、土曜日だった為か盆休みの為かめっちゃ観光客が来られていました。 入り口から８２０ｍ程度離れた場所に駐車場し、ぶらぶらとさかを登って、階段からにこ淵へ降りましたが、中間付近から見下ろす景色に「おお！キレイじゃん！」て言ったら、下の方がキレイだよ！って教えてもらって、ぶらぶら降りました。 ほとりで写真を撮って、滝の写真を撮ってから戻りました...

    Kochi Hata-gun Otsukicho Issai

    柏島の展望場所といえば大堂山が有名だがあちらは行くのが大変です。一方こちらはかつての県道沿いにあるので道も険しくなく手軽にいけます。アクセス道路もいまはトンネルが開通したおかげで休憩所前の道はほとんど車が通らず静かな環境になりました。展望台からは柏島が良く見えます。

around-area-map

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.
