Nice rest stop with a local cuisine restaurant. 1F is selling lots of domestic produce and survenior. 2F is where you could enjoy a feast before you hit the road. Recommended dishes are clay pot udon noodle with broth and semi grilled fish rice don; price is very legit for the quality.

so so

Lots of things to buy. Plenty of samples. Very busy!

good

(Translated by Google) Their specialty, nabeyaki ramen, was absolutely delicious! ✨ I tried it with offal, and it was absolutely delicious! 👅 Sesame oil? Chili oil? Chimi? It was a little spicy, and completely different from the one I had at a parking lot somewhere. I knew this roadside station had been popular for a long time, but I didn't realize it was this popular. If you're in the area, definitely check it out! (Original) 名物の鍋焼きラーメンめちゃ美味しかったです✨ モツ入り食べたのですが絶妙な味👅 ごま油？ ラー油？ 一味？ ひょいピリ辛で 何処かのパーキングで食べたのとは別物でした 此処の道の駅は昔から人気なのは知ってましたが此処までとは思いませんでした 近くに寄ったら是非行ってみてください

(Translated by Google) A roadside station in Susaki. I visited for lunch. I came here because I really wanted to try the nabeyaki ramen I had seen on TV before. I ordered the nabeyaki ramen set that came with a small moray eel bowl. The taste...was different from what I expected. The noodles had an instant-like taste and nothing particularly special. As for the moray eel bowl...well, it was kind of similar to an oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl). I don't know about the moray eel bowl, but it seems like nabeyaki ramen is sold in restaurants, so it might be better to try it there. As it's a roadside station, it's a good place to take a break and buy souvenirs. (Original) 須崎にある道の駅。 昼飯を頂くために訪れた。 以前テレビで見た鍋焼きラーメンをどうしても食べて見たくてやって来た。 オーダーしたのはウツボ丼(小)が付いた鍋焼きラーメンセット。 お味の方は•••思っていたのと違う。 なんか麺がインスタントっぽい感じでこれと言った特徴がない。 ウツボ丼の方は•••うん、親子丼と変わらないかな。 ウツボ丼はわからないが、鍋焼きラーメンは飲食店でも扱ってるらしいのでそちらで食べた方が良いかもしれない。 道の駅なので休憩や土産物を買うのには良いと思う。

(Translated by Google) The Suzaki Nabe Ramen on the second floor is known for its broth, which is simmered with chicken bones and has a rich soy sauce flavor. It's fragrant but incredibly salty, and the saltiness instantly wakes you up. 🤣🤣 But diluting it with water gives it just the right texture for your taste. 🥰🥰 The thin noodles are perfectly chewy, and the broth is complemented by chicken, green onions, a raw egg, and chikuwa (bamboo slices). The noodles and broth, combined, offer a truly authentic taste of Japan. 🥰🥰 The most distinctive feature is the ceramic bowl it's served in, which keeps the ramen warm and allows guests to... Everyone gets hot soup, which warms both the heart and the stomach. 🥰🥰 The garnish for the pot-baked ramen is aged pickled radish, which is also incredibly salty. One bite instantly wakes you up. 🤣🤣 #Back in the agricultural world, people ate a lot of salt. #Replenishes minerals lost through physical activity. The first floor sells produce, a variety of drinks, teas, and even adorable otter stuffed animals. However, I saw the airport staff give me a honey yuzu drink upon arrival. It cost 160 yen, which is about 32 Taiwan dollars. 🥰🥰 (Original) 二樓的須崎鍋燒拉麵（須崎鍋焼きラーメン）的特點，湯頭是用雞骨熬煮的，帶有濃濃的醬油味，很香但超鹹，喝上一口，瞬間被鹹醒了過來🤣🤣，但加上開水稀釋過後，才符合個人喜歡的口感🥰🥰 . 而細麵條很有嚼勁，裡面配料還有雞肉、蔥、生雞蛋和竹輪，搭上麵條、湯頭，真的品嚐到屬於日本的真正味道🥰🥰 . 最有特色的是盛裝的陶盆，能維持著熱度，讓享用的客人們，都能喝到熱熱的湯，既暖心也暖胃🥰🥰 . 而鍋燒拉麵的配菜是，醃製陳年的醃蘿蔔，也是超鹹的，咬上一口，精神又瞬間的被鹹醒過來了🤣🤣 #當初的農業社會都吃重鹹 #補充體力活流失的礦物質 . 一樓則是有販賣農產品、各式各樣的飲料、茶類，還有可愛的水獺布娃娃等 . 然而，有看到下機場，工作人員送的蜂蜜柚子飲料，日幣160円，折合台幣約32元左右🥰🥰

Otonashi Jinja Shrine in Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture, is a serene coastal gem that blends spiritual heritage with natural beauty. Often referred to as the “Miyajima of Tosa”, this shrine is uniquely positioned with its torii gate facing the sea, creating a stunning and peaceful backdrop that feels both sacred and cinematic. The shrine dates back to the 13th century and features several structures designated as national important cultural properties, making it a meaningful stop for history lovers and spiritual seekers alike. The grounds are quiet and well-kept, perfect for a reflective stroll or a moment of calm. With free parking and easy access year-round, it’s a convenient and worthwhile stop for anyone exploring Shikoku’s southern coast. Whether you're drawn by its history, its peaceful setting, or its unique seaside charm, Otonashi Jinja offers a deeply satisfying experience.

Otonashi Shrine is a special shrine in Kochi, Japan that is worshipped as the god of marriage. It is also called "Miyajima of Tosa" because of its unique approach extending toward the sea. The shrine was built 15 centuries ago based on a legend of a god named Hitokotonushi no Mikoto who arrived in the area by ship after escaping a battle. The god is believed to grant your wishes if you can ask in one word. Every autumn, a wedding ceremony of the gods called "Chiriheppo" is held there. Visitors can draw an omikuji (fortune-telling slip) and release it into the sea as they make a wish. The paper is made to dissolve in water to avoid harming the environment.

Serene view of the water. Went on a rainy day and the view was amazing

Large shrine with the options to buy charms and little souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) While driving from Ehime Prefecture to Kochi Prefecture, I stopped by a shrine I've been seeing a lot on social media lately. It's so famous it hardly needs any introduction. Apparently it's also known as Tosa's Miyajima, though I'm not sure what the chief priest or locals think about being called that. (^o^;) As I walked along the narrow coastal road, I saw a red torii gate. On weekdays, I could park my car just past the gate, but if there were a lot of visitors, I'd recommend using the parking lot just before the gate. I honestly didn't have high expectations before my visit, but when I actually stood here, passed through the gate from the ocean side, and entered the shrine grounds, guess what? The atmosphere inside the grounds felt completely different. According to Google Maps, the location of the red torii gate is where the municipal cruise ship docks. This ship is used by local children to get to school, but apparently it's open to the general public. If you have time, it might be a good idea to take a cruise around the bay. For details, please search for "Susaki City Municipal Cruise Ship." (Original) 愛媛県から高知県へのドライブの途中、最近SNSでよく見かける神社に立ち寄りました。紹介するまでもないほど有名な場所ですよね。土佐の宮島とも呼ばれているようですが、宮司さんや地元の人がそのように呼ばれるのをどう思っているかは分かりません(^o^;) 海岸線の細い道を進むと、赤い鳥居が見えてきます。平日であれば、その赤い鳥居を過ぎた辺りに車を停めることができますが、参拝客が多い場合は、鳥居の手前にある駐車場を利用しましょう。 実は、訪れる前はそれほど期待していなかったのですが、実際にこの場所に立ち、海側から鳥居をくぐって境内へ進むと、何でしょう？境内の空気が変わったように感じました。 Googleマップによると、赤い鳥居の場所には市営巡航船の船着き場があります。 地元の児童たちの通学の足となっている船ですが、一般の観光客も乗船できるそうです。時間に余裕があれば、湾内を巡るクルーズを楽しんでみるのも良いかもしれません。 詳細は『須崎市 市営巡航船』で検索してください。

(Translated by Google) It's been trending on social media lately, so I decided to join the trend and pay my respects. There is parking space for a few cars, but it's a long, narrow road to get there, so if you get an oncoming car at the wrong time, it seems like you're in big trouble... The shrine itself is a solemn shrine, but the approach from the sea is truly magnificent. There was even a group that arrived from the opposite shore in a one-person stand-up rowboat. I'm unnecessarily worried that if it becomes even more popular, it will be a lot of trouble (lol). (Original) 最近SNSで話題になってるのでつい流行りに乗ってお参りしにいってきました。駐車場はそれなりに何台か停められますがそこにたどり着くまでが長く狭い一本道なのでタイミング悪く対向車来るとどうにもならなそう…。神社自体は厳かな神社そのものですがやはり海からの参道が素晴らしいですね。対岸から一人用の立ちこぎ舟でやってくるグループもいました。もっと話題になったらそれはそれで大変そう、と余計な心配(笑)

Nice & quiet temple, small garden. Peaceful but nothing to see per se. Sunday morning seems to be a service with monk chanting.

(Translated by Google) Temples related to Sakamoto Ryoma It's a small temple. (Original) 坂本龍馬ゆかりのお寺 小さいお寺です。

(Translated by Google) This is a temple in Susaki City. It is not a tourist destination like the 88 places in Shikoku. There is a chief priest, but there is no store or bookkeeping. However, there is a ``Kubikiri Jizo'' where Ryoma Sakamoto cut his head with a wooden sword, so if you are a fan of Ryoma, it might be worth a visit. (Original) 須崎市のお寺です。四国88ヵ所のような観光地ではありません。 住職はいますが、売店もなく記帳も、ありません。 ただ、坂本龍馬が木刀で切りつけて首を落としたという「首切り地蔵」というのがあって、龍馬ファンの方は一度訪れても良いかもしれません。

20230323 Luckily we visited the city on a Sunday and there were lots booths. A lot fresh fruits from local farms I guess.

Stretching across a few streets, there were many stalls . Most of the stalls sell agricultural products - vegetables, fruits., flowers. We went there hoping to get a good breakfast but was disappointed. The only stall with places to sit to eat is at a udon stall. As such , there were many customers, q up for 30 minutes before we got our order. Seats were limited. A other stall selling hot food is a stall selling meat skewers and Okonomiyaki. The other food choice is cakes , bread, biscuits. No stalls selling hot coffee/ tea. It is a good place for locals to get their daily groceries but for tourists ,just a place to look, see , go take photos

Nice little walk on Sunday. Fresh veggies and fruits. Some good street food. Cozy

Update: September 17, 2025 If you are planning to be here in Kochi for the Sunday Market, please do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Se Relaxer restaurant for dinner. Order one of their specialties, Tosa Akaushi roast beef with Niida rice cooked in an earthen pot. It is delicious. And the crème brûlée is very good as well. One day when this restaurant appears on the Michelin’s guide, it will take a miracle to get a reservation here. OMG, if you come to Kochi specifically for the Sunday Farmer’s Market like I do, I highly recommend that you stay in a hotel or AirBnb that has a kitchen so that you can fry some of the fish and make soup out of the fresh bamboo shoots that are sold here. The top delicious food that you must get is the fried sweet potatoes. They are so so good, slightly salty and crispy batter on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. There are white peaches and many many more fruits and vegetables.

Local farmers market covers long stretch with a food centre situated fronting the street market. Had an early lunch of semi raw bonito- super yummy. If you are looking for japanese knives or iron hardware, there is a section of it. I bought an Ikebana kenzan half the price if I have to buy from Singapore.

Japan’s longest outdoor market, this weekly highlight of Kochi City’s social calendar takes up 1.3km along the Otesuji road. There are about 300 stalls that line the street, beneath rows of large trees and palms. The stalls change weekly, but there are a few foods that you absolutely should try: - Imoten (sweet potato tempura). It is easy to spot this stand, as it always has line of people waiting for freshy fried bites of Japanese sweet potato. -Inaka-sushi. Sold in packs, this is a mainly plant-based local version of Japan’s most famous dish, which translates directly as “countryside sushi.” -Yuzu-flavored foods. Kochi is famous within Japan for producing yuzu, a citrus fruit. A cup of yuzu-lemonade is very refreshing in the summer. -Fruit tomatoes. You will find stalls selling these super-sweet tomatoes individually, kept cool on ice. -Imo-mochi (sweet potato mochi). A local twist on the rice dumplings found all over Japan, these treats are made with a mix of sweet potato and mochi rice. -Hashimaki (chopstick rolls). Freshly cooked savory okonomiyaki pancakes are rolled around a pair of chopsticks, and topped with your choice of cheese or a sunny-side up egg. - Aisukurin. This retro frozen dessert is halfway between ice cream and sherbet, and is one of the prefectures favorite sweets. Be sure to arrive in the morning or early afternoon, to make sure the best stalls aren’t sold out.

Mostly fruit and vegetables stalls. There are some stalls for yakitori or fried sweet potato. We ate the fried potato, it was very tasty.

This is the sister course of Sky Hill further down the Kochi coast, though it may be better described as a rich uncle due to the stunning views of the bay that I never tired of. It's laid out on two spurs into what is almost a mini inland sea near the port town of Susaki. From one spur we looked across at what appeared to be a terrifying par three up a steep hill to a green protected by a stone wall. It turned out to be a short par 4, an easy lay up off the tee followed by a wedge up to the green (in theory!). The clubhouse was fittingly bright and spacious for such a location and the lunch options included interesting steak combinations enjoyed with a backdrop of Kites wheeling at eye level from outside our window seat. This is a spectacular golf course for those who are not necessarily big hitters, but like to pit their wits against a variety of grains, gradients and visual deceptions.

Sky Bay Golf Club is a beauty. The views of the surrounding inlets and seaways make this one of the best clubs I have ever played from a purely aesthetic angle. Stunning. The course itself is difficult, with lots of ups and downs. The greens were just okay but the fairways and layout were very good. I would recommend this course to any golfer who wants a special course to linger in the memory.

(Translated by Google) The most wonderful scenery. It is true that OB is the easiest to hit in Japan, but since there is no distance, you can get a good score even if you don't swing the wood. It's fun with a tricky design that includes crossing the sea, crossing valleys, and impossible height differences. (Original) 最高に素晴らしい景色。確かにOBは日本一出やすいのだろうが、距離はないのでウッドを振らなくてもスコアはまとまる。海超え、谷超え、あり得ない高低差など、トリッキーな設計で楽しい。

(Translated by Google) For some reason, they were offering 1B during the high season, so I went there. Regardless of the reservation time, you can leave as soon as you are ready, and I thought it was empty even though it was a weekday, but the green of 5 holes (9th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 18th) was unavailable. The golf course was badly damaged and a temporary green was built on the fairway and the golf course is open for par, with a par of 69. (As of mid-October 2024) So is it vacant? It seems that maintaining the condition of the greens is difficult everywhere due to this summer's intense heat. However, I wish it had been written in the plan explanation. The temporary green is simply a relatively flat part of the fairway that has been pruned and cupped. Although undulations need to be taken into account, lines have a large random element, so it seems fun to play among friends. Although the course is called Bay, the sea element is basically a landscape story, and the course is completely mountainous. I'm familiar with courses that are narrow and have many OBs, but there were only about one course where the driver was a candidate for the tee shot, and I actually used two. Since there is no navigation for the cart, the position of the cart in front of you is not clear, so I think it's best to play golf in a way that allows you to take your time and enjoy the view in between, both for score-making and safety. Other than the fact that the grass on the greens is not in good condition due to the intense heat (currently being repaired), the facilities are showing their age but are well kept, and the staff are all very kind, making it a very nice course. I would like to try again after the grass has healed. (Original) 何故か、ハイシーズンに1B請けていたので行ってみました。 予約時間関係なく、準備でき次第出発可能で、平日とは言え空いてるんだなぁと思っていたら、5つのホール(9番、13番、16番、17番、18番)がグリーン使用不可なくらい傷んでおり、フェアウェイに仮設のグリーン作って営業中でパーが69になってます、とのこと。(2024年10月中頃現在)それで空いてるのかな？どこも今夏の酷暑のせいでグリーンのコンディション維持が大変なようです。 でも、プラン説明には書いといて欲しかった。 仮設グリーンは、フェアウェイの比較的平べったいところを気持ち刈り込んで、カップ切ってあるだけです。アンジュレーションは考慮する必要がありますが、ラインはランダム要素が大きいので、仲間内でワイワイやる分には楽しそうです。 コースですが、ベイって名前ついてますが、海要素は、基本的に景観の話で、コースとしては完全に山岳です。 狭くてOBが多いコースとの触れ込みですが、ティーショットでドライバーが候補になったコースは片手ほど、実際に使ったのは2つでした。 カートのナビもないので、前カートの位置がはっきりしないため、スコアメイクと安全性両面から、ボチボチ刻んで、その合間に絶景楽しんで…なんて感じのゴルフがいいと思います。 グリーンの芝が酷暑の影響で良くないこと(現在修復作業されてます)以外は、設備も年季は感じますが清掃が行き届き、スタッフの方も親切な方ばかりで、とても良いコースです。 芝が直ってから再チャレンジしたいですね。

(Translated by Google) Well, it's a very difficult course. The view was the best and I was glad I could see the lake from anywhere. I had 40 balls but lost them all lol It was a course that required a lot of practice. I was licking it. The narrowness of the Wago class. I feel like I've lost a lot of confidence. Lunch is buffet It was delicious and had a lot of variety. (Original) いやはやなんとも難易度が高いコースで 眺めは最強で湖が何処で見えて良かった 球を40球もってったが全部無くしたw 練習必死なコースでした。舐めてた。 ワゴウクラスの幅の狭さ。 大分自信を無くす感じ。昼飯はバイキングで 色々種類が合って美味しかった。

(Translated by Google) Third round. There were 13 groups empty. The greens were rough. 2 OB shots, 1 sea pocha shot. There are many courses that are so narrow that you can't see them, but it was fun. The view from the clubhouse is also wonderful. (Original) 3回目のラウンド。13組と空いてました。グリーンは荒れてました。OB2発、海ポチャ1発。狭くて見えないコースも多いですが楽しいでした。クラブハウスからの眺めも素晴らしい。

(Translated by Google) The greens were getting better. Being able to only use the shower will be tough these days. (Original) グリーンが良くなっていました。シャワーしか使えないのは、これからの時期辛いです。
