    廃校を利用した施設で着替えオールを持って、5Kmほど上流にワゴン車で移動します。河原で簡単な講習を受けた後、カヌーに乗り川を下ります。途中数か所流れが速い瀬があり、1度転覆しましたが水面から大自然を見上げむしろ爽快な気分でした。

    Kouchi Pref. Takaokagunnakatosachou Kure 8009-11
    At the Kuroshio Kobo you can enjoy a workshop learning how to cure freshly caught fish, and to straw-braise bonito, a local delicacy. One can try their hand at shaving and packing the bonito in the beginner’s course, while the intermediate course challenges one from filleting a whole bonito through to the packing method. At the food court, you can enjoy all the local dishes prepared from Central Tosa products.

    This little restaurant was just besides our ryokan-onsen. They make delicious bonito tataki. Most of the other food that we tried was also good! I would recommend the tataki. Not a word of English...

    Kochi Takaoka-gun Tsunocho Kainokawatokonabe 392-2
    A rural exchange facility that retains the atmosphere of an antique wooden schoolhouse. The initiative integrating the abandoned school in village development was recognized by the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications in 2007 for best practices promoting independence and revitalization of depopulated areas nationwide. Visitors can join in agricultural workshops or camp in the school yard. Accommodation is also available.

    四国ツーリングの途中で訪れました。 廃校の後をそのまま宿泊施設にした施設で、色々な賞を取っている模様。 元々校舎であったこともあり、校庭を駐車場にしており駐車場はかなり広い。 夕食、朝食共に頂いたが、量が多く、味はとっても美味しい。家庭的な味。 1回のレストラン?のような空間で、地元の方や他の旅行客と酒盛りも行い、非常に良い経験であった。 他の旅行者の方は、地元の方に、エビ釣り?につれていっても...

Kochi Areas

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.
