A good walk along the rocks!

Scenic. Worth a short visit.

(Translated by Google) Being a cape, it's a long journey, but I got the impression that it wasn't worth it. Because wherever you look, there's sea. Perhaps it was the effect of the earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula (after the tsunami warning and advisory was lifted), or perhaps because it's a cape, the waves were big and had an impact. (Original) 岬となれば道のりは長いが、割に合わないという印象。なぜなら海をどこで見ても海。 カムチャツカ半島付近の地震(津波警報及び注意報解除後)の影響なのか岬だからなのか、波が大きくインパクトはあった。

(Translated by Google) I was able to get there by taking a bus and a DMV (Dual Mode Vehicle). We arrived at night, so we started our walk early the next morning. The sunrise at the southern tip of Cape Muroto had a special beauty. Many of the surrounding flora have a tropical feel, making me realize once again that there are many different places in Japan. (Original) バスとDMV(Dual Mode Vehicle)を乗り継いで到達する事が出来ました。到着は夜になったので、翌朝早朝に散策を開始。室戸岬南端で迎えた日の出は特別な美しさがありました。周辺の植物相も南国を感じさせるものが多く、日本にも様々な場所があるのだと再認識するに至ります。

(Translated by Google) Since this was the purpose of my visit, I was glad to be able to experience nature. The cape itself was quite rugged and in its natural state. Also, there was a lighthouse about a 10-minute drive up. It was a nice walk up the hill from the parking lot, which was quite a workout. (Original) 今回の訪問目的だったので、とても自然を感じることが出来良かったです。岬自体はかなりゴツゴツしていて自然状態でした。また、クルマで10分位上がったところに灯台がありました。駐車場から坂を上がりますので、結構いい運動になりました。

(Translated by Google) The scenery is beautiful, but more than anything, just walking along the rocks while listening to the sound of the waves is refreshing. The sound of the waves is similar to that of the beach at Ras Al Jinz, where we watched sea turtles lay their eggs. (Original) 景観もよいが、何より、波の音を聞きながら岩場を歩くだけでリフレッシュ出来る。 海亀の産卵を見学した、ラス・アル・ジンツの浜と同じような波音

(Translated by Google) Perhaps because we visited at sunset, the lighthouse was completely empty. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't get close to it or inside. (Original) 日没時に訪れたからなのか貸切状態でした。灯台の近くもしくは内部見学は出来ないようで若干残念。

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

Great selection of food and very beautiful view. Staff is very friendly, helpful and kind

Small but great products. Friendly staff and even if it is far from city you can find what you want.

Your average Japanese road station but with amazing sunset views.

Fantastic aice cream and local market

Nice stop with ocean views.

good

(Translated by Google) I visited as part of a stamp rally. The sea is right in front of the parking lot, so you can take a break while listening to the sound of the waves. There is no door to the entrance to the toilet. The sensor-type lights don't react well to the private rooms at the back, so the lights go out. Be careful, as they don't turn on even if you move. Local souvenirs are available for purchase. (Original) スタンプラリーで訪問。駐車場の目の前が海で波の音を聴きながら休憩できる。 トイレの入り口にドアはない。センサー式の電気が奥の方の個室に入ると反応が悪く電気が消える。動いても付かないので要注意。 地元のお土産が買える。

(Translated by Google) The Muroto Cape Lighthouse, which stands on the cliffs of Cape Muroto, is a historic lighthouse that was lit in 1899. It is one of the few lighthouses that still use the largest first-class Fresnel lens in Japan. The lens has a spectacular presence, and it is worth a visit even if you are not a lighthouse fan. From the observation space, you can see the vast Pacific Ocean, and if the weather is good, you can enjoy a spectacular view with the horizon clearly visible. The contrast between the white lighthouse and the deep blue sea is beautiful, and it is also recommended as a photo spot. The approach to the lighthouse is a hilly road, but it is well maintained and easy to walk. It is convenient to access by car, but it is also possible to walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse. Take your time and enjoy the view. This review was created on chat GPT. From here on, my impressions. If the weather is good, the view is amazing. I recommend it. (Original) 室戸岬の断崖上にそびえる室戸岬灯台は、明治32年（1899年）に点灯した歴史ある灯台で、日本最大の第一等フレネルレンズを今も使用する数少ない灯台のひとつです。レンズの存在感は圧巻で、灯台ファンならずとも一見の価値あり。 展望スペースからは広大な太平洋を望むことができ、天候が良ければ水平線がくっきりと浮かび上がる絶景が広がります。灯台の白亜の姿と濃い青の海とのコントラストが美しく、写真映えスポットとしてもおすすめ。 灯台までのアプローチは坂道が続きますが、整備されており歩きやすいです。 アクセスは車が便利ですが、駐車場から灯台までは徒歩。ゆっくり景色を楽しみながら進んでみてください。 この口コミはchat GPTで作成しています。 ここからは私の感想。 天気がよければ最高の景色です。 おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) After visiting the 88 sacred sites in Shikoku, this attraction is easily overlooked. Although it is located on the top of Cape Muroto, you cannot see Cape Muroto and the sea from Sai Mizakiji Temple. You need to go to the exit of the temple, close to the side of the downhill trail, and there is a driveway next to it. There is an inconspicuous small sign. You can reach the lighthouse in about 5 minutes. The lighthouse itself cannot be visited, but looking at the lighthouse, you can see Cape Muroto and the majestic Pacific Ocean in the distance. When the weather is good, the blue sky and white clouds are magnificent. Because it is at a high place, the view is more charming than looking from below. If you come to Sai Mizakiji Temple, you must not miss this overlooking spot. The overall rating is 4.5 stars. (Original) 在參訪四國八十八靈場後，容易忽略的景點，雖然位處室戶岬的山頭，但在最御崎寺是看不到室戶岬與大海的，要到寺廟的出口，靠近下山步道一側，旁邊有車道走進去，有不起眼的小指標，走約5分鐘就可以抵達燈塔。 燈塔本身不能入內參觀，但看著燈塔，從這可眺望室戶岬與遠處雄偉的太平洋，天氣好時藍天白雲風景無比壯闊，因為是在高處，登高望遠，這景色比起在下面看更加迷人，若來到最御崎寺，絕不可錯過這眺望景點，整體評價4.5顆星星。

(Translated by Google) March 2025 Climb from the entrance to Saigosaki-ji Temple on the Henro trail, and go left just past the Niomon Gate of Saigosaki-ji Temple, and you will find the Muroto Cape Lighthouse. There are fewer tourists here than at the Ashizuri Cape Lighthouse near Kongofuku-ji Temple. It feels like it is standing quietly. I am an official guide of the Shikoku 88, 20, and 36 Immovable Pilgrimage Sites Association. I mainly post reviews that may be useful for walking pilgrims. (Original) 2025年3月 へんろ道 最御崎寺登り口から登って、最御崎寺仁王門のすぐ先を左に行くと、室戸岬灯台です。金剛福寺の近くの足摺岬灯台に比べると観光客は少ないです。静かに佇んでいる感じがします。 私は四国八十八・別格二十・四国三十六不動の霊場会の公認先達です。主に歩き遍路に役立ちそうなクチコミを投稿しています。

(Translated by Google) We visited here after visiting Saigosakiji Temple. It was about a 10-15 minute walk from the parking lot along Muroto Skyline. The view wasn't that wide, so it was a bit, a bit, a bit different from what we were expecting, but it was worth the visit. (Original) 最御崎寺を拝観させて頂いた後に訪問。室戸スカイラン沿いの駐車場から徒歩10～15分ほどだったと思います。視界はそれほど開けておらず、ちょっと、ほんのちょっとではありますが、期待していた風景とは・・・でも、訪れ価値はありました。

(Translated by Google) August 25 It's about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot. You can see the lens right in front of you, and it's impressive. I was waiting at 9 a.m. hoping to be able to tour the interior, but there was no sign of it being unlocked. The view was amazing. (Original) 25.08 駐車場から10minほど歩きます レンズを目の前で見ることができ迫力に驚きます 09時に内部見学できるかと思い、待機していたのですが一向に解錠される気配がありませんでした 眺望は素晴らしいてす

(Translated by Google) It's great that you can see the lighthouse lens at almost eye level. The sunlight shining on the lens was beautiful and sparkling. And the view was also outstanding. It is a first-class lighthouse with a 2.6-meter diameter "first-class Fresnel lens," and is one of five in Japan. It is one of the "50 Best Lighthouses of Japan," and is designated as an A-rank preserved lighthouse by the Japan Coast Guard. This lens has been damaged several times. ・The lens was damaged by the strong winds of the fierce typhoon "Muroto Typhoon" (1934), which had an air pressure of 911.6 hectopascals when it made landfall. {It is counted as one of the three major typhoons of the Showa era, along with the Makurazaki Typhoon (1945) and the Ise Bay Typhoon (1959).} ・The lens was also damaged in the "Nankai earthquake" in 1946 and has been repaired, but the explanation said that the iron lighthouse will remain as it was at the time. The second oldest iron lighthouse in Japan (1899) [In March 1945, at the end of the Pacific War, a US aircraft carrier task force approached 80 km off the coast of Cape Muroto. The lighthouse lens was damaged by machine gun fire from a US carrier-based aircraft. (Four bullet holes are still engraved on the lighthouse today.)] *From Wikipedia. I looked for it, but I couldn't find any bullet holes. It might be on the sea side. The shortest route. You can get to Cape Muroto Lighthouse from National Route 55, but it's quite difficult, so there is a dedicated parking lot facing the road at the top of "Saimizakiji Temple" from the Muroto Skyline side. From the parking lot, walk up a moderate slope for just under 400 meters. It takes about 5 or 6 minutes. (Original) 灯台のレンズが、ほぼ目線の高さで見られるところがとても良いです。 太陽の光がレンズに差してキラキラ奇麗でした。 そして、景色も抜群。 直径2.6メートルの「第一等フレネル式レンズ」を備えた第1等灯台で、国内で5か所あるうちの一つ。 「日本の灯台50選」の一つで、海上保安庁によってAランクの保存灯台にも指定されています。 このレンズは何度か破損しています。 ・上陸時の気圧として911.6ヘクトパスカルという猛烈台風『室戸台風』（1934年）の暴風でレンズが損傷しています。 ｛枕崎台風（1945年）、伊勢湾台風（1959年）と並んで昭和の三大台風の一つに数えられる｝ ・また、1946年の「南海地震」でもレンズが損傷し修理をしていますが、鉄製の灯塔は当時のままだと説明にありました。 国内の鉄製燈台では2番目に古い（1899年） 【1945年3月、太平洋戦争末期、アメリカ軍空母機動部隊が室戸岬沖80キロに接近。 アメリカ軍の艦載機による機銃掃射を受け、灯台レンズが破損する。（現在でも灯台には4つの弾痕が刻み込まれている）】 ※Wikipediaより。 探してみましたが、弾痕は見つけられませんでした。 海側の方かも。 行き方の最短経路。 『室戸岬灯台』には、国道55号側からも上がれますが、結構大変なので、室戸スカイライン側から「最御崎寺」へ上がるところに専用駐車場が道路に面してあります。 駐車場からそこそこの坂道を400メートル弱歩きます。 時間にして5、6分程になります。

(Translated by Google) It's located quite a way up the mountain from the cape. If you're going there, it's better to park at the parking lot of Saigosakiji Temple and walk there. I also prayed there properly. The view was very nice. (Original) 岬から山を結構登った場所にある。こちらへ行くなら最御岬寺の駐車場に停めて歩いて行った方が良い。ちゃんとお参りもしました。 とても眺めは良かったです。

Famous spots

Ok

(Translated by Google) I thought he was from around Kochi City, but it turned out that Shintaro Nakaoka was from here. The fact that the word ``teacher'' is written on the statue makes it clear that he is highly respected by the locals. (Original) てっきり高知市周辺の出身かと思っていましたが、中岡慎太郎はこちらの方だったんですね。 像に「先生」と書いてあることからも地元の尊敬の対象とよく分かりますね。

(Translated by Google) This is a bronze statue of Nagaoka Shintaro that was located at Cape Muroto. On the back there is a stone slab with his main career history written on it. (Original) 室戸岬にあった長岡慎太郎さんの銅像です。 裏には主な経歴が書かれた石板も設置されていました。

(Translated by Google) There is a bronze statue of Shintaro Nakaoka, a patriot who was assassinated along with Ryoma Sakamoto at Omiya in Kyoto. The artist is different from the Ryoma statue, and Nakaoka's face is larger, which tends to make him look cute. Many people miss the guide because it suddenly appears and don't realize it's there. I've passed it before, so be careful 😱 supplement In the first place, both Sakamoto and Nakaoka belonged to the Tosa Kinnoto Party, which was led by Hanpeita Takeichi and was originally from Kochi. Mr. Ryoma is associated with the ``Kaientai,'' but Mr. Nakaoka was the leader of the ``Rikuentai,'' and is thought to have decided on their role in the event of a war. Also, the Satsuma-Choshu Alliance (a secret pact between the Satsuma and Choshu clans, who were on equal footing) is often believed to be based on Ryoma Sakamoto's theory, but the theory that Shintaro Nakaoka drafted and coordinated it behind the scenes, and Ryoma's role as the guarantor of the secret pact, is becoming stronger. The graves of both men are enshrined on the same grounds within the Ryozan Gokoku Shrine, near Kyoto Shimizu-san. Also, the hair of the deceased was returned to his wife's family in Kashiwagi village, Kitagawa-go, Aki-gun, and his wife's grave is located next to Mr. Nakaoka's left. They are finally mourning in peace. bronze statue There are 6 locations, including Ryozan Gokoku Shrine, Maruyama Park, 4 locations in Arashiyama, Muroto, and Kitagawa-go. Where is the Ryoma statue in Katsurahama staring? There is also the issue of this, and the Kochi Prefecture website warns against various theories and writes that ``Ryoma and Nakaoka-san are looking at each other,'' but in reality, they are looking toward the southern Pacific Ocean, and this is just glorifying the story and making it more popular, so it's better not to take it seriously and not tell anyone about it. Generally speaking, where you are facing can only be determined with a compass and a map, but Kochi Prefecture's attitude is to use Mr. Sakamoto and Mr. Nakaoka to attract tourism, according to various theories. Where did the masculinity of the Tosa era go? During World War II, monuments and bronze statues were collected and reprocessed into weapons due to the metal recovery order, but the statue of Ryoma Sakamoto in Kochi is dedicated to the guardian deity of the navy. The statue of Shintaro Nakaoka, as the guardian deity of the army, has been spared from collection. There are photographs of Shintaro Nakaoka, with a serious, serious face and a smiling, nice young man's face in contrast. Both express their personalities well. (Original) 京都 近江屋で坂本龍馬さんと共に暗殺された志士「中岡慎太郎」さんの銅像があります。 龍馬像と作者が異なり、中岡さんは顔が大きめで、可愛く見えてしまいがち。 急に案内表示が現れるので見落として、存在に気付けない方も多い。僕も気付かす通過した事があるので、要注意です😱 補足 そもそも、同じ高知出身で、武市半平太さん率いる「土佐勤王党」に、坂本さんも、中岡さんも属していた間柄。 龍馬さんと言えば「海援隊」ですが、中岡さんは「陸援隊」筆頭で、戦となった時の役割を決めていたと思われます。 又、薩長同盟（犬猿の仲だった、薩摩藩と長州藩の共闘密約）は坂本龍馬説が多いですが、中岡慎太郎さんが起案〜調整暗躍し、龍馬さんは密約保証人の役割説が、強くなってます。 両人のお墓は、京都清水さんの近く、霊山護国神社内の同じ敷地内に祀られております。 又、安芸郡北川郷柏木村の妻さん達 家族の元には、遺髪が戻され、中岡さんの左側隣に奥さんの墓。やっと仲良く弔われています。 銅像 霊山護国神社、丸山公園、嵐山の4箇所、室戸、北川郷にもあり、6箇所あります。 桂浜の龍馬像が、どこを見つめているか？ と言う問題も有り、高知県HPで諸説ありと保険をかけた上で「龍馬と中岡さんはお互い見つめ合っている」と記していますが、実際には南の太平洋を向いており、話を美化、話題性を煽っているだけですので、真に受けて人に話さない方がいいですよ。大体、どこを向いているかなんて、コンパスと地図だけで分かるものを、諸説として坂本さんや中岡さんを利用して観光誘致しようとする高知県の姿勢が…。土佐時代の男気はどこにいったのでしょうね？ 第二次世界大戦時、金属回収令で、記念碑や銅像が回収され兵器に再加工されましたが、高知の坂本龍馬像さんは、海軍の守護神。中岡慎太郎像は、陸軍の守護神として、回収を、免れています。 中岡慎太郎さんの写真、真顔で、いかつい顔と、対照的な、笑顔で好青年の顔の写真が残されてます。どちらも人柄をよく表してますよね。

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!!

exquisite

Amizing

Beautiful.

(Translated by Google) Temple No. 25 of the 88 Shikoku Temples It's just over a 10-minute drive along the coast from the 24th temple, Saigosakiji. For those who prefer mountain roads, it's just under 20 minutes via the Muroto Skyline. You can choose between a paid parking lot (where you put 200 yen in a box) a 2-minute walk away, or a free parking lot (apparently part of the fishing port can be used as a parking lot) a 5-minute walk away. There are quite a few stairs, so it's a good idea to climb to the top, pray, and then take in the view of the Pacific Ocean before descending (even if you think there's still more to see, it's good to see things over and over again). (Original) 四国八十八ヶ所二十五番札所 二十四番の最御崎寺から車で海辺を１０分強。山道走るのが好きな人は室戸スカイライン経由で２０分弱。 徒歩２分の有料駐車場（200円を箱に入れるタイプ）か、徒歩５分の無料駐車場（漁港の一部を駐車場として使えるそう）から選択可能。 そこそこの階段があるため、登りきってお参りを済ませ、降りる前に太平洋を眺めるのもよき（この先まだまだ見られるとか思ってても良いものは何度見ても良いので）

I received my goshuin at the donation office, located immediately to the right after passing through the Shinshoji Temple tower gate. Following a long staircase is the bell tower gate, where you can enter and ring the bell. The view is also quite nice. There is a paid parking lot (200 yen) next to the Shinshoji Temple tower gate. It seems there is also free parking, but I wasn't sure where it was.

Things are finally settling down. It's just over 6km from the previous temple. The journey is easy, as it's on a flat road. ♫ After passing through the gate, there's a short climb to the main hall. This temple was founded by Kobo Daishi because the shape of the mountain resembles the "Hoju" (treasure) in the temple's name. The principal deity is the Enmei Jizo Bodhisattva, carved by Kobo Daishi. Legend has it that when the main hall caught fire, the principal deity transformed into a monk, alerting the villagers and saving the day. Apparently there are 125 steps. I didn't have time to count them (lol). The Niomon Gate, the inner gate, is halfway up the stairs. The space in front of the main hall is small, making it difficult to take a front-on photo of the hall. You can see the Pacific Ocean from in front of the main hall 🎵. A beautiful view. The Daishi Hall is at the bottom of the stairs. It's interesting that the staff at the donation office come and extinguish any lit candles with a fan. They also pull out the incense sticks, even if they're still lit. Cleaning is such a pain, after all. It felt like my wish had been snuffed out.

Best temple stay shukubo I’ve had yet. Best value for money in general. Amazing food, perhaps some of the best I’ve had in Japan. Had a beautiful room with a view that was very comfortable. The 6am prayer ceremony was nice and intimate. The temple grounds themselves are magnificent. I’d come back to Shikoku just to stay here a few nights.

I've stayed at fifteen or twenty temples on the Shikoku Pilgrimage and at Koyasan. This had the most beautiful rooms and the most wonderful dinner of any of them. (I LOVE fish, especially sashimi and katsuo no tataki.) (Don't eat there if you don't like fish!) The view was also wonderful.

(Translated by Google) The seafood bowl I had here was really amazing. It is filled with plenty of fresh seafood and tastes great. The price is also very reasonable and the cost performance is perfect. The daily specials looked delicious, but I think I made the right choice in choosing the seafood bowl. However, there may be a bit of a wait during peak hours. It may be unavoidable since it is a popular place, but depending on the timing, you may be concerned about the waiting time. Still, the taste is worth the wait, so I think it's a good idea to visit when you have time. Overall, this is a spot I would definitely recommend for seafood lovers. I would like to visit again next time. (Original) ここでいただいた海鮮丼は本当に素晴らしかったです。新鮮な魚介類がたっぷりと盛られており、味も抜群。価格も非常にリーズナブルで、コストパフォーマンスは申し分ありません。日替わりもとても美味しそうでしたが、海鮮丼を選んだことは正解だったと思っています。 ただ、ピークタイムには少し待つことがあります。人気の場所なので仕方がないかもしれませんが、タイミングによっては待ち時間が気になるかもしれません。それでも、待つ価値のある美味しさなので、時間に余裕があるときに訪れるのが良いかと思います。 総じて、海鮮好きにはぜひおすすめしたいスポットです。次回もまた訪れたいと思います

(Translated by Google) The seared bonito over straw was incredibly delicious. The portion was so large that even a grown man would be full with just this bowl. The fried chicken was also delicious. It was bigger than I expected. I managed to finish it all. I need to think about how much I eat. (Original) 藁で炙った鰹のタタキ、凄い美味しい。凄い量で大人の男がこの丼だけで満腹になる。 唐揚げも美味しい。想像したよりデカい。 なんとか完食した。食べる量を考えないといけませんね。

(Translated by Google) Stopped by on a walking pilgrimage in May 2016. I received the toretoredon set. Sea bream + green onion ginger garlic. Is this the key to seared bonito? I didn't have the kinme I was looking for, so I went with this, and it was very delicious. The fried yellowtail also packs a punch. After eating, I wandered around looking at the vegetables. It was a nice break (^^) Search for “Pilgrimage Day 13: Staying at a temple” (Original) 2016.5、歩き遍路で立ち寄り。とれとれ丼セットを頂きました。鯛＋ネギしょうがニンニク。カツオのたたきの要領ですかね。お目当てのキンメが無かったんでこれにしたけど、とっても美味しかったです。ブリのフライもパンチが効いてて。食後は野菜を見ながらブラブラ。いい休憩になりました（＾＾）検索「お遍路13日目　お寺に泊まる」

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is located inside a roadside station. Even though it was a weekday, there were quite a few customers. I ordered a set of chilled udon and whitebait rice bowl. The udon noodles were chewy, thick, and delicious. The whitebait rice bowl was also just the right amount of salty, even when eaten as is. The sashimi of the day's fish and seared bonito also looked delicious. (Original) 道の駅にあるお店です。 平日でしたが、結構お客さん入ってました。冷やしうどんとしらす丼のセットを注文。うどんはコシがあり、太めでモチモチと美味しかったです。 しらす丼も、そのまま食べても丁度よい塩加減でした。 本日のお魚のお刺身や、カツオのたたきなどもおいしそうです。

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.

Nice place to understand how geotectonic influencing life

Enjoyed visit and had free WiFi but not as good as I had expected.

A super interesting place to visit with amazing English translations, a variety of artifacts, and a cool virtual reality exhibit.

It is a museum where you can understand the related between Japanese and whales. Since ancient time, the Japanese have made whale fishing a part of their lives. In people's hearts, there was gratitude and respect for whales. That's why people used whale beards and skins carefully without wasting everything. There are only Japanese in the world who have used all the whole body of the whale like this. Whaling has been a japanese culture since ancient time. However, it may be difficult to ask all people to understand it. If so, please keep a gentle watch over the Japanese people in this matter. Japanese people think firmly, investigate correctly, and respond sincerely. I wish everyone in the world peace and health. Thank you.

This is a small museum and one might think to pass by without stopping. However, of you have time it's quite enjoyable. They have a free VR experience where you can swim with whales. Bilingual displays. A lot of information. It really let me into the history of the area. Perfect activity on a rainy day!

It's small but some of the Bakamatsu/Meiji period paintings are huge and stunning. It was well worth the 500 yen entry price to just see those. There is also some go information about whaling in Japan and the evolution of whales. There is also a lot of English available on the exhibitions.

(Translated by Google) You can learn about the history of Muroto and whales. It's mainly about whaling. It's a small museum packed with history. I'm glad I went. You can also see a big whale model. There were also whale goods and stuffed animal lotteries. (Original) 室戸とくじらの歴史を知ることができます。主に捕鯨についての歴史です。こじんまりとした中に歴史の詰まった資料館でした。行って良かったと思える内容です。大きなくじらの模型も見れます。くじらのグッズ、ぬいぐるみのくじもありました。

(Translated by Google) Are whales a familiar sight on the Pacific coast? They are virtually unrelated to life in the Seto Inland Sea. It is amazing to think that in the past, people would catch huge whales in small wooden boats. A considerable number of people must have died. However, they were probably a valuable source of protein that people had to risk their lives to catch. This is a valuable facility that conveys the history of Muroto's prosperity through whaling. (Original) 鯨は太平洋側ではある程度身近なものだろうか。瀬戸内海の生活においてはほぼ無縁だ。昔はちいさな木の船で巨大な鯨を捕獲していたのは改めて驚かされる。恐らく相当な人が亡くなっているのだろう。しかし、命をかけてまでとらなければならない貴重なタンパク源だったのだろう。室戸が捕鯨で栄えた歴史を今に伝える貴重な施設。

(Translated by Google) Being closed on Mondays is fine, but as one of the accredited points for the Shikoku Tour, should they consider placing the stamp somewhere where it can be stamped on a regular holiday? I rode a long way and was so disappointed! And I'm a foreigner from overseas! (Original) 週一休館是沒有問題的，可是作為環四國一周的認證點之一，是否應該考慮將印章放在可以在定休日蓋的到章的地方。騎了很長的路卻感到十分的失望！何況我從海外來的外國人！
