Beautiful cape along the road. Nice short walk, picnic tables to enjoy a lunch or simply sit on the rocky beach and enjoy the sound of the waves and the view.

Beautiful cape with a convenient walking trail along the coast. Most of the paths are paved.

A scenic spot in Shikoku. Plenty of free parking next to tourist information office. You can take a walking trail along the coast, or climb up the view point behind the statue to take in the panoramic view. Some Japanese ryokans along the cape.

We have enjoyed it but found it difficult to locate even a restaurant near there.

This is a beautiful gravel beach formed of weird shaped rocks. l never get tired of looking at that. When I visited this place, there was no one but me. It was relaxing. But, I found the large skeleton of a whale carcass on the beach. I got disgusted.

Stunning coastline. Easy-to-walk paved walkways along the boulders and rock formations along the coast.

I love the place,like a maze people can have there own space even it's crowded.

Good information about regional geology and earthquake detection. Toilets are clean

Beautiful place to visit. Very helpful staff. Thank you

Very informative in geology and local culture. I arrived a bit late and so most restaurants were not serving lunch, but staff of tourist information helped me to call around nearby restaurants and I managed to fill my belly well. Thank you!

There were staff immediately available to help us. One staff member even took the time to give us a brief guided tour. Muroto exists at a spot that might very well experience a catastrophic change within the next 30 years. The way the people of this area cope with that, and have developed through their history, is really amazing.

The rock formations here are amazing and the ocean is so beautiful! It's nice to walk along the coast. A pleasant stop.

Free information center about the geographic info. of Muroto. Worth to take a look.

Nice place to understand how geotectonic influencing life

The angry old man in the office yelled at me because I slid one of the doors the wrong way when I came in. Maybe he was constipated and bitter because he couldn't go to the bathroom or something else was preventing the movement. That's the way his face looked anyway. I guess he couldn't leave his post because he had to stamp the books for the pilgrims. Anyway, I went around looking at the temple. Really beautiful structures here. I actually came for the lighthouse but you know - the Henro is here too. I've been to about eight temples on this (not my) pilgrimage since coming to this island, but I'm not getting a stamp book or wearing white clothes or whatever. I am wearing a yellow button with Mikyan-chan on it. Maybe that will help me get to wherever I need to go in the otherworld. Again anyway, while I was walking around here, that old man was really getting into my head, so I went in front of the office and stared him down through the window for a minute or two. He looked nervous because I am kind of strong-looking I guess which is just a constructed illusion. I wouldn't be violent or anything like that in a Buddhist temple, but I just wanted to feel better and I guess it did make me feel better, so I also guess there's something wrong with me for wanting to act this way. No, I'm certain of this. Maybe I need to walk the Henro like other people do. Nah.

One of the most beautiful temples part of the pilgrimage. Very peaceful area and with old temples preserved. Beautiful!

This temple on the top of the mountain is nice to visit, just at beside there is a lighthouse and huge view of the ocean, one path until there took 20 minutes by walk.

It's a nice lil temple, in combination with the view from the parking lot or the lighthouse a good place to visit if you're nearby

It is a beautiful ride down the coast to get here, and of course the scenery is great. The problem was that it isn't very accommodating for cyclists, I never found the place to park my bike, I just locked it to a bar in the parking lot.

Facing south to the Pacific Ocean, this temple has a spectacular location. Be sure to also visit Tonohama beach nearby where you too can find your own ocean-washed stone. I've kept mine.

One of my favorite temples in this area

A nice garden which is officially certified by an heir of Monet themselves. The garden had 3 zones which were full of flowers. At some point there placed a referral Monet's pictures to compare with their garden.

Such a pretty place split into different garden areas. Our favourites were the Flower Garden which was in full bloom with tons of butterflies and bees, and the Lily Pond full of flowering blue, pink and yellow lilies which also had masses of butterflies and beautiful blue dragon flies. There is also a gallery, gift shop and cafe, all of which are worth a visit. If you like gardens or are interested in Claude Monet's life and art works, you must not miss this!

I agree with those who say: it’s going to depend on the season you go. I went on March 20th, 2023. The Monet garden… didn’t really look like the pictures. All of the water lilies were gone or dead (most likely because of winter, not extermination). The bridge is nice enough, but it is a *metal* replica and doesn’t quite match what I imagined. As the Monet garden is THE sales point for this place, it felt like a let down. Summer is probably great though. The floral garden is lovely. There were plenty of blooms. That said, I live in Mie prefecture, and there are at least two gardens here which have much vaster floral displays for comparable prices, Nabana no Sato and Red Hills Hisa. The flowers here in Kitagawa were nice but the garden was fairly small in comparison. The Mediterranean area is interesting and clearly much effort was put into making it, but again not much was blooming. A couple minor negative points: there are a few places where there clearly used to be something, and they just gave up. “No entry” signs and whatever was there is starting to be engulfed by forest/weeds. Also, there are signs for a long hike to “Wind Hill”. It is all uphill and basically just a standard “lookout point” over the city. Nothing there of interest at all. If you like lookout points (they’re everywhere in Japan) go for it. Otherwise, wind hill can be skipped and you won’t miss anything but time. Price is reasonable at ¥1000. On the other hand, this garden was listed in a book of “1000 wonderful Japanese views” and I wouldn’t put it that high. Nice enough if you’re in the area, I wouldn’t make a special trip.

A beautiful garden with a variety of photo opportunities. I went on a Friday afternoon, and it was not too crowded. I also got a Ryoma Passport stamp.

The garden is so beautiful ans it is located as you enter the charming Kitagawa Village. Serene.

Wonderful experience. I had been to Giverny and this was also spectacular. Really enjoyed the gardens even with the rain. It was a great time. Took about 2 hours.

Excellent no exceptional! A bit of a ride from Kochi city but if you get that far do not missout.

Worth to join the activity of "Hello Dolphin". The dolphins obey the instructions and you can enjoy the interactive activities with dolphin.

It is the first time to touch dolphins, they are so friendly like small girls. It will be great if we can swim with them next time.

Really really nice. We totally enjoyed swimming with dolphins. The trainer were very nice and made the experience total fun.

Nice experience, a bit long driving distance but it worths!

Great …!!!

Amazing...

This place is cruel. Three dolphins in a tiny pool. One that has been there for 10 years. This place should get shut down and the dolphins released. Only went to see the conditions the dolphins were living in. SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!

Lovely place!@

(Translated by Google) It's a simple private room separated by a curtain, and orders are placed through a small window that connects to the kitchen. We ate things we had never eaten before, such as deep-fried chicken, tokobushi, and whale. Thank you for the meal☆ (Original) カーテンで仕切られる簡単な個室になっていて、注文は調理場と繋がる小窓からします。 うつぼの唐揚げ、とこぶし、くじらなど食べたことのないものを食べさせていただきました。ごちそうさまでした☆

(Translated by Google) I'm a local and come here often to eat here. They have a variety of cuisines, From individuals to groups I can recommend it to various people. It's a pity that there is no all-you-can-drink option. Various places such as counters It seems like things have changed.

(Translated by Google) This is an izakaya that is loved by local people. There is a sense of security in the taste. (Original) 地域の人達に愛される居酒屋さんです。 味に安心感があります。

(Translated by Google) The fried moray eel was delicious. (Original) ウツボのからあげおいしかったです

The Kime-don was so good, the rice included sashimi and cooked kimedai. Portions were super generous and you could also enjoy the rice with the broth as well. We had to queue to go in, just a reminder to write your name on the list!

The don is sooooo Delicious! Especially the bbq Kime fish! We arrived by 1200 and we don't have to queue up.

It was so good! I walked in without a reservation on what seemed like a busy night, and got a table. The wait staff was super friendly and polite, and explained how to eat the kinme-don, which is what this town and location is famous for. Even if you can't eat raw fish, the teriyaki-style kinme is amazing! Also, the menu has English, which definitely helps out!

Very nice atmosphere in this restaurant. The food is served at the table situated at the second floor which is entirely covered with tatami. Western style tables and chairs are present and situated on the tatami. The view on the inner town fishing port is very nice too. The food is definitely great with fresh deep sea red fish. English menu and recommendation about the best way to consume the meal is provided.

Very delicious sashimi rice, can't describe by word

Sashimi very delicious

I was not impressed with included tours vegan meal or that I was asked to sit upstairs with other vegans while my sister and friend ate downstairs. Then they had to bring some normal meal eaters upstairs as there wasn't enough room for them all.

This is a restaurant srrving delicious, run by a wonderful family. I cannot recommend the Hatsune Kinmedai donburi enough! It really showcases the technique of the chef, with both a sashimi portion and a teriyaki portion of the iconic and local golden eye snapper fish. It's a bit pricey, but for access to local, fresh fish, served in a community favorite, I think it is worth trying! If trying to eat here during the weekend, definitely try to call and reserve ahead of time!

(Translated by Google) "Simple fresh fish dishes" I ordered Muroto Kinmedon. Oh, the sashimi has a lot of flavor and is very fresh! Furthermore, the teriyaki golden sea bream, which soaked up the sweet sauce, and the delicately flavored soup were also delicious. However, considering the price of 1980 yen, it might be nice to have something a little more...Lunch at other restaurants in Muroto also seems simple🙄. Still, it was a delicious fish lunch with good quality. I visited around lunch time, and it was surprisingly empty so I was seated right away. The interior of the restaurant has a purely Japanese interior with arranged Western music instrumentals, and all five tables are tatami mats. There was also a sense of cleanliness. It would be even more helpful if there was an easy-to-understand menu with photos. Payment methods are cash or PayPay only. The restroom was a bit small, but it was a clean Western-style toilet. There are approximately 5 spaces in the parking lot, making it convenient to visit by car. However, the road up to this point is a little narrow, so you need to be careful. Next time, I would like to try the Kinmedai Kamameshi set meal, which is priced at nearly 4,000 yen, so it's quite impressive😇. (Original) 「シンプルにいただく新鮮魚料理」 室戸金目丼を注文しました。おお、お刺身はしっかりと旨みが乗り新鮮さが際立ってますね！さらに、甘いタレがよく沁みた金目鯛の照り焼きや、繊細な風味のお吸い物も美味しかったです。ただ、1980円という価格を考えるともう少し何かあってもいいのかも…室戸は他のお店のランチもシンプルな印象ですが🙄。それでも品質の良さを感じる美味しい魚料理のランチでした。 お昼時に訪れたのですが、意外と空いていてすぐに座れました。店内は洋楽のアレンジインストゥルメンタルの流れる純和風のインテリアで、5つのテーブルはすべて座敷となっています。清潔感も十分ありました。写真付きの分かりやすいメニューもあると、さらに助かりますね。 支払い方法は現金もしくはPayPayのみです。お手洗いは少し狭いですがきれいな洋式トイレでした。駐車場には5台ほどのスペースが確保されており、車での来店が便利です。ただ、ここまでの道はやや狭いため注意は必要です。 次回は金目鯛の釜飯定食を試してみたいですが、これは4000円近いお値段なのでなかなか迫力はあります😇。

(Translated by Google) The location is difficult to find, and the road is very narrow, so be careful. I recommend the Hatsune Kinmedai Donburi. The sashimi was firm and delicious. The teriyaki kinmedai (golden eye snapper) was exquisitely seasoned and went well with rice. The deep-fried whale was sweet and spicy, with a chewy texture and a slight bitterness. It would go well with both rice and alcohol. This was my first time trying the moray eel, and it was surprisingly delicious. It was light and tasted similar to deep-fried chicken skin. I was very satisfied with both the food and the service. Next time, I would like to come back for the kinmedai (golden eye snapper) kamameshi (rice pot). (Original) 場所が分かりにくく道が凄く狭いので注意が必要です。オススメの初音の金目丼は刺身は 身の締まりが良くて美味しかったです。金目鯛の照り焼きは絶妙の味加減でご飯がすすみます。鯨の竜田揚げは甘辛い味付けで歯応えがあって少し苦味があります。ご飯にもお酒にも合いそうです。ウツボは初めて食べたのですが意外と美味しいです。あっさりしていて鶏皮の唐揚げに似ている気がします。食事も接客も満足出来ました。今度は金目鯛の釜飯を食べに来たいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's a homey restaurant and easy to enter. I had a half bowl of marinated red snapper and sashimi. It was very delicious. (Original) アットホームなお店で入りやすいです。金目鯛の漬けとお刺身のハーフ丼をいただきました。とても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I visited here while traveling. I had my dog ​​with me so I ordered the Kinmedon bowl, which was recommended by the staff, as takeout. It was so delicious! The staff were also kind, and I'll definitely stop by again if I'm traveling again. (Original) 旅行で訪れました。 犬連れだったのでお店の方おすすめの金目丼をテイクアウトしました。 すっごく美味しかったです！ お店の方も優しくて、また旅行で来た際に寄ろうと思います。

(Translated by Google) To be honest, I was hoping for reasonable prices and large portions since it's a fishing town that specializes in golden-eyed snapper, but... I was surprised by the high prices. I felt like I didn't have to go out of my way to get something here. (Original) 正直　金目鯛推しで漁師町なのでリーズナブルと量の多さを期待しましたが、。。。真逆に高い値段にびっくりしました　無理にココで無くても。。。感が強かったです。

(Translated by Google) I had the "Hatsune's Kinmedai Donburi" for lunch on September 15, 2025, for 2,480 yen, but the fillets of the Kinmedai were small and thin, so I couldn't really taste the flavor of the Kinmedai. The difference between the actual product and the photos in the tourist guide leaflets was so great that I almost felt it was a sample. Even for a tourist destination, I thought the price and the quality were a bit excessive. I visited Muroto City for sightseeing this time, and thought the restaurant looked delicious, but I don't think I'll be back. (Original) 2025年9月15日にランチで利用、「初音の金目丼」2,480円を食べましたが、金目鯛の切り身が小さい上に薄く、金目鯛の美味しさを感じることができませんでした。観光案内のチラシ等に掲載されている写真との差が大きく、サンプル◯欺と言いたくなるレベル。この値段で、この内容は観光地価格にしても、やり過ぎかなと思いました。 今回は観光で室戸市を訪れ、美味しそうなお店と思って利用しましたが、二度目は無いと思います。

Wonderful experience at this spa. The pool with various pressure jets were the main highlight, although the outdoor jacuzzi was also delicious in the somewhat chilly and drizzly January day. Staff was cordial and helpful. A great activity to do when you're in the area.

The main attraction is the deep sea water pool. There are many stations for water jet massage with a view on the sea. The sauna is included in the pool access fee. Hot bath is available too. Can be accessed with a separate fee. Overall the place is in a good shape. Renovation works are in progress for the 露天風呂(external hot bath).

Deep saltwater pools are very relaxing. Footbath outside is free.

Thoroughly recommend the onset here!

(Translated by Google) Used on Saturday, March 22, 2025 Sunny and warm and cheerful☀️ I went to Silest for the first time, but the footbath and restaurant were closed. I also took a dip in the deep ocean water pool and open-air bath, but the outdoor jacuzzi was the best 😆 No one was there so I had it all to myself🛀 It seems like it's only for locals, but now that it's spring and it's getting warmer, the number of pilgrims has increased, so I feel like everyone should use it more. (Original) 2025.3.22(土)利用 快晴でポカポカ陽気☀️ 初めてシレストに行ってみましたが、足湯 やレストランは休業中。 海洋深層水プールや露天風呂にも入りましたが、何と言っても屋外ジャグジーが最高すぎた😆 誰も入ってなかったので独り占め状態🛀 割と地元客オンリーみたいですが、春になり暖かくなってきて、お遍路さんも増えてきたので、みんなもっと利用すればいいのになぁと感じました😙

(Translated by Google) It's like a whirlpool bath in a pool, and the water pressure is amazing, so it's great for relaxing your muscles! You can also take a sauna to open your pores and the pool uses deep ocean water to make your skin smooth. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed (Original) プールのジェットバスみたいなのが水圧が凄くて筋肉がほぐれてめっちゃいいですよ！ サウナも入って毛穴開いてプールは海洋深層水なので肌がツルツルになりますよ レストランは残念ながら閉鎖中でした

(Translated by Google) The onsen staff was incredibly polite and helpful. The water in the onsen was scorching hot, but the temperature was controlled. There was a small outdoor pool with loungers. The jets had strong pressure, perfect for massaging a tired back. Thanks again for charging my power bank. (Original) Obsługa onsenu niezwykle uprzejma i pomocna. Woda w onsenie gorąca jak diabli, ale temperatura kontrolowana. Mały basenik na zewnątrz, z leżakami. Ciśnienie w dyszach mocne, doskonały na masaż zmęczonych pleców. Jeszcze raz dziękuję za naładowanie powerbank-a.

Local produce of amazing quality, kind service and low prices. The attached ice cream shop has awesome flavors and the surroundings are breathtaking. This place is perfect if you need to slow down and relax. The neighboring whale museum and restaurant are also not to be missed. Highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) I go here every year to buy black-eared loquats. They have a wide selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, and bento boxes. As it's a popular roadside station, the selection of fresh produce will be limited if you don't come in the morning. They sell gelato next to the direct sales store, and it's a great place to take a break and eat while looking out at the sea. The bento boxes sold at the gelato counter are reasonably priced, filling, and come in a wide variety, so I always buy one to take home when I stop by. (Original) 毎年、黒耳びわを買いに行きます。 新鮮な果物、野菜、魚介類とお弁当が充実しています。人気の道の駅なので生鮮物は午前中に来ないと品数が少なくなっていしまいます。 直販所隣りではジェラートを売っていては海を見ながら食べ休憩するのにオススメです。 ジェラート売場で売っているお弁当はお手頃な値段でボリューム満点で種類も多くて、立ち寄ると必ず買って帰ります。

(Translated by Google) This is a popular rest area for Muroto touring. 30℃🥵 in Kochi City on this day The temperature is lower in Muroto, so I stopped by for gelato But it was closed＿|￣|○ My mouth was like gelato😭 I knew they were closed on Mondays, but I didn't know they were closed until Thursdays💦 Other people parked their cars and were drawn into the direct sales store. They seemed to be there for loquats (we eat loquats at home, so we skipped them) As always, the local fish🐟 was a good deal! It was crowded with pilgrims and tourists. (Original) 室戸ツーリングでは休憩スポットの定番エリアです。 この日は高知市内30℃🥵 室戸の方が気温が低いのでジェラード目的で立ち寄ったところ な・ん・と閉まっていました＿|￣|○ 口がジェラードになっていたので😭 月曜定休日は知っていたけど、木曜日までお休みになったとは…確認していませんでした💦 他の方は車を止めると直販所に吸い寄せられるように入って行きます。 どうやら枇杷目的のようです(我が家では枇杷はいただく物なのでスルー) 相変わらず地魚🐟はお値打ちでした！ お遍路さん、観光客で賑わっていました。

(Translated by Google) As this shop also sells direct from the producers, in addition to souvenirs they also sell local fish and vegetables, prepared foods and bento boxes, so it seems to be a shop that is popular with locals. The parking lot is by the sea, so the view is nice. There is also a gelato shop and a whale museum next door, which is convenient. (Original) 産直を兼ねているのでお土産の他に地元の魚や野菜、惣菜や弁当も有り地元民に支持されていそうな店。 駐車場は海沿いなので景色も良い。 ジェラート屋や鯨館も隣に有って便利。
