My favourite temple so far on the Shikoku Henro pilgrimage. Absolutely stunning!

Possibly the most beautiful of the temples I've seen so far, would absolutely recommend doing a bit of a nature walk nearby if you've got the energy, plus there is a great onsen close by ar Mana village.

One of the most beautifully landscaped temples so far in our Shikoku trip. It’s No 38 on the 88-temple pilgrimage.

Nice, a lot of well preserved statues.

This place is a hidden gem. I’m so glad I visited here and highly recommend it. A beautiful temple with multiple buildings and a large pond with Japanese carp.

No. 38 of the 88-temple pilgrimage around the island of Shikoku. Beautiful!

Huge area, fantastic big stone collection

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) This is a bronze statue that stands right near the parking lot leading to Cape Ashizuri. John Manjiro was the first international man in modern Japan, and his real name was Manjiro Nakahama. Although he was lost while out fishing in 1841, he was fortunately rescued by Captain William H. Whitfield of the American whaling ship John Howland, where he received schooling in the captain's hometown of Fairhaven and expanded his overseas knowledge. . After returning to Japan in 1851, John Manjiro became a direct consultant to the Shogunate due to his international knowledge, and in 1860, the ship that John Manjiro boarded was Katsu Kaishu as part of the overseas mission dispatched by the Shogunate to exchange instruments of ratification for the Japan-US Treaty of Amity and Commerce. Kanrin Maru was the captain. I believe that Manjiro's achievements in laying the foundation for Japan-US exchanges toward the opening of the country were significant. (Original) 足摺岬へ行く駐車場のすぐ近くに立っている銅像です。 ジョン万次郎は、近代日本初の国際人で、本名は中浜万次郎です。1841年に出漁中に遭難するものの、幸いにもアメリカの捕鯨船ジョン・ハウランド号のウィリアム・H・ホイットフィールド船長に助けられ、船長の生地フェアヘーブンで学校教育を受け、海外の見聞を広めました。 1851年に帰国後、その国際知識をかわれて幕府直参となり、1860年には日米修好通商条約の批准書交換のために幕府が派遣した海外使節団としてジョン万次郎が乗り込んだ船が、勝海舟が艦長だった咸臨丸です。 開国に向けて日米交流の礎を築いた万次郎の功績は大きいものだと思います。

(Translated by Google) You know, the statue of John Manjiro. It is said that during the Edo period, a group of people went fishing and drifted adrift.They were rescued by an American ship, and the rest of them remained in Hawaii, while one of them made it to the United States. He was the first person to study abroad. After receiving education from a kind person, I returned to Japan several years later. It seems that he also held important positions in the Shogunate. (Original) ご存知､ジョン万次郎像です。江戸時代､数人で漁に出ていて漂流し､アメリカの船に助けられ仲間はハワイに残り、１人アメリカに渡ったそうです。留学最初の人物です。親切な人に教育を受けて､数年後､日本に戻って来ました。幕府の要職にもついたようです。

(Translated by Google) This is a bronze statue of John Manjiro. Unlike the group of statues that stand near the museum, here Manjiro stands alone and dignified. Where is Mr. Manjiro's line of sight facing toward the Pacific Ocean? I don't know, but if he was such a great person, even if he was shipwrecked or suddenly had to live overseas, he would have fought against everything and returned to Japan alive, and now he was doing great work related to the Meiji Restoration in Japan. It's no wonder why. Also, right next to this bronze statue is the ``Tosa Great Figures Statue Guide Map''. It was a very interesting resource, containing information about bronze statues of great figures from Kochi Prefecture, from Ryoma Sakamoto to Motochika Chosokabe to Shigeru Yoshida. (Original) ジョン万次郎の銅像です。資料館の近くに立つ群像とは異なり、こちらは万次郎しがお一人で凛々しく立っておられます。 太平洋方面を望む万次郎氏の視線はどこを向いているのか？不明ですが、これだけ立派な方であったのなら、難破しても海外で突然暮らすことになっても全てに立ち向かって日本に生還し、今度は国内で明治維新に関わる大仕事をやってのけたのも頷けます。 またこの銅像のすぐ横には、「土佐偉人銅像案内図」があります。坂本龍馬はもちろんのこと、長宗我部元親から吉田茂まで、高知県出身の偉人達を模った銅像に関する情報がまとめられており、大変興味深い資料でした。

(Translated by Google) Visited on 2023.5.23. It towered over me before I went to the lighthouse at Cape Ashizuri. There is a bronze statue of Nakahama (John) Manjiro. Her dignified figure looked even better than the portrait. The fact that the parking lot was quite small made me feel more disappointed than the absolute number of tourists. Since the pilgrims come by car, it seems that parking is even more scarce. It's about 200m one way to the lighthouse, so expect your stay to be a little longer. (Original) 2023.5.23訪問しました。 足摺岬の灯台へ行く前にそびえ立っていました。 中浜（ジョン）万次郎の銅像が有ります。 凛々しいお姿は肖像画より立派に見えました。 観光客の絶対数より、かなり小さな駐車場に残念感が増しました。 お遍路さんが車で来るので、より一層駐車場が不足している様ですね？ 灯台までは片道約200mなので、少し滞在時間が長くなると思ってください。

(Translated by Google) Unlike the dynamic statue at the John Manjiro Memorial Museum, this one seems to be statically gazing at the current era. (Original) ジョン万次郎記念館の動的な像と違い、静的に今の時代を見つめている感じがする。

stunning views and there's a selfie stand too. 10 mins walk with 130m of stairs from entrance

You need to climb stiff steps down and up from the hilltop to Hakusan Arch. The best is you have the chance to walk right in front of it. If you are walking to Hakusan Arch from the lighthouse. It is better to walk from the car road than to walk the coastal trial.

One of the most exquisite Natural Arches ever. Absolutely worth tge climb down up to see it up close and personal. And the FREE Onsen above tge Arch is such a fabulous gift with the most amazing view💙

Lovely view. There are stairs,which are not so steep and take 10-15 minutes going to the cave. Elderly and children just need to be careful.

free entrance quiet place

Impressive rock formation. The climb down to the sea level is worth the effort.

Interesting place to visit! Beware of a lot of steps for down and up!

Our dinner were really delicious. The sunset was amazingly beautiful. Apart from the onsen, users could also enjoy free drinks at the hotel lobby. Quite a relaxing place.

Bus ride to and from Nakamura Short hike around Cape Ashizuri Side trip bus ride to Tatsukushi Coast Good service by local bus companies Great scenery Great local / cultural experience Not many sign posts My photos include Cape Ashizuri and Tatsukushi Coast areas

The ocean view from the top of the cape spreads out. There is a statue of John Manjiro Nakahama at the entrance. Although he was only a fisherman, he played a major role for opening Japan at the end of Tokugawa shogunate era. Public transportation from JR Nakamura Station to Cape Ashizuri is available, however that is very unfrequent. Please check the schedule or timetable before you visit Shimanto city.

Cape Ashizuri is a long way from anywhere, but the views from the lookout here are incredible and make the effort to get there is well worth it. You really feel that you are on the very edge of Japan.

Beautiful place, nice walk around the area through the coastal forest

Most breathtaking view ever! So Stunning 😍😍 I highly recommend it and make sure you check out the nearby temple for sunset!

It's definitely a bit remote and out of the way, but the scenery is breathtaking and well worth the trip.

We came on a Friday afternoon. The large stones are a few meters from the entrance. They all carry some significance. Interesting to see and understand.

(Translated by Google) I have work to do overnight at Cape Ashizuri, and I have to meet a customer around noon. I ended up being the last customer at breakfast at 9:30am. There was a poster of Tojin Daba on the guest house. I asked the landlady of the guesthouse what the place was like. As you climb up the rocks, you can also enjoy a nice view of the ocean from the top. I was guided to If it's related to tourism, I think you have to go there at least once. I went by navigation. It's like they were talking about a giant taking off his geta clogs... However, when I went there, I found it to be a mysterious place that is difficult to describe in words. Rather than calling it a power spot, something happened here a long time ago, and it's not a natural artifact. It felt like a ruin where something had once been. I wonder if the Yayoi people came here riding the Kuroshio current. I think it's well worth a visit if you're nearby. (Original) 足摺岬に泊まりの仕事があり、お客様との待ち合わせが昼前ぐらいだっのですが、 行くとなく、9時半の朝食で1番最後のお客さんになりました。 その民宿に唐人駄場のポスターが貼ってあり 民宿の女将さんに、どうなところか聞くと 岩を登っていくと頂上から見る海の景色も良いですよ。と案内されて 観光に関わるものなら一度行っておかなくてはと思い。 ナビで行きました。 巨人が下駄をここって脱いだとか、そんな話してたような… ただ行ってみると、文章で伝えるのが難しいぐらい、不思議な場所でした。 パワースポットと言うより、大昔、ここで何かがあった、自然の人工物ではない。 何かがあった遺跡だと感じました。 弥生人は、黒潮に乗ってここに来たのかなぁなど 近くまで、来たなら行ってみる価値大ありだと思います。

(Translated by Google) The best camping spot!! ️ And it's free ❤️ vast grassland A panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean from there Complete with toilets and kitchen facilities, it's a hidden gem. A place where people probably never come, but where you can definitely enter your own world. After getting purified at a nearby power spot, it's the best place to immerse yourself in your own world and ask yourself questions. (Original) 最高のキャンプスポット‼️ しかも無料ですよ❤️ 広大な草原 そこから見える太平洋を一望できる景色 トイレも炊事場も完備されており超穴場的存在 人もたぶん来ることはなく、確実に自分の世界にはいれる場所 近くのパワースポットで浄化されたあとは、自分の世界に没頭して自問自答できるベストな場所

(Translated by Google) You can camp on a vast, well-maintained lawn area. The toilet is small, but it seems like it's newly built along the road. At night, you can see a sky full of stars! (Original) とても整備された広大な芝生広場でキャンプができます。トイレはぽっとんですが、道路沿いに新しく建てているようです。 夜は満天の星空が見えます！

(Translated by Google) ★This is a large, flat square that used to be a ruin, and there are no megaliths! If you want to go to the so-called megalithic group, search for [Tojin Daba ⚠️ Megalithic group ⚠️❗]! ! ! When visiting, pay attention to the navigation instructions! ! ! It is wise to go from the 348 side! If you try to get there from the Prefectural Route 27 side, you'll have a hard time on the rather tight and narrow road. Even if it's a long detour, it's better to take route 348 on your way there and back. ★The name of the ruins called Tojin Duma seems to include two places: this ruin and the nearby Tojin Duma megalith group. ★Some posts confuse the location with the adjacent "Giant Rocks" ⚠️, but this is a flat square with almost no megaliths. Apparently there was originally something like a stone circle here, but the locals didn't realize that it was a valuable object, so they removed all the stones and turned it into a campsite for tourism development. The remains of a stone circle that was not removed can be seen in the corner of the site. There is a well-maintained parking lot. It's a campsite, so camping is of course OK. (Original) ★ここは、元遺跡の広い平坦な広場で、巨石は無いよ！いわゆる巨石群に行くのなら【唐人駄場⚠️巨石群⚠️❗】を検索する事！！！ 訪問するときは、ナビの案内に注意！！！348号側から行くのが賢明！県道27号側から行こうとすると、結構クネクネ細い道で苦労する。遠回りでも行き帰りには、348号を通った方が良い。 ★唐人駄馬と云われる遺跡は、この遺跡とすぐ近くの「唐人駄馬巨石群」の、二ヶ所を含めての名称らしい。 ★投稿には、隣接する「巨石群」と場所を混同している物⚠️が見受けられるが、こちらは平らな広場で巨石はほとんどない。元々こちらにもストーンサークル的な物があったそうだが、地元の人に貴重な物だと云う認識が無く、観光開発の為に、石をすべて取り去り、キャンプ場にしてしまった。 敷地の隅の方に取り去られなかったストーンサークルの残骸が、わずかに見られます。 整備された駐車場がある。キャンプ場ですから、もちろんキャンプOKです。

(Translated by Google) As the name suggests, it was a group of megaliths. You can see a stone shaped like a knife/machete tooth and a round stone shaped like a turtle all in one place, which makes it easy to see why it is said to be a power spot. Go to Tojindama stone circle/campsite 3-400m before, make a left curve and don't miss the signpost on the right. There is a detailed explanation. (Original) 名前通り巨石群でした。包丁/なた歯のような石と亀のような丸い石、などが一堂に見られ、パワースポットと言われるのも分かるきがします。 唐人駄馬のストーンサークル/キャンプ場に行く 3～400m手前、左カーブに右側にある道標を見過ごさないように。丁寧に説明があります。

The path to the shrine is secluded. The moment you see the shrine out of the forest is amazing! Definitely worth it!

This shrine has sweeping views of the ocean and brings a calm about a person. Definitely worth the short 5 min hike to see.

Beautiful, well worth the visit. Google maps might tell you to get off the bus 15 minutes away, but dont listen! There is a stop (Usubae) right in front of the shrine entrance!

Short hike on stairs to reach the site. Excellent views. Feels raw.

(Translated by Google) What a spectacular view! ✨ I went in mid-August 2025. It was completely empty in the morning. I stayed overnight in Ashizuri, so it was a 7-minute drive to Ryugu Shrine. The drive there involves a mountain road and some narrow paths. There are some areas where you can pass other vehicles, but I imagine it will get congested if the number of cars increases. There's parking for 7 cars (sorry, I didn't count exactly). There are restrooms. The way there is mostly downhill, but once you get close to the torii gate, you have to climb some stairs. The area where the torii gate is located is narrow, so be careful. On the way back... I was out of breath, sweaty, and my thighs were shaking (lol). I took many breaks along the way. The footing can be unstable near the rocky areas, so I recommend wearing stable shoes. (Original) 素晴らしい絶景です✨ 2025年8月中旬に行きました。午前中貸切状態でした。 足摺に泊まったので竜宮神社まで7分。辿り着くまで車で山道を通り細い道もあります。 離合出来る場所もありますが、車が増えると渋滞すると思います。 駐車場は7台(はっきり数えてないです、すみません)トイレあります。 行きはほぼ下り坂　鳥居の近くまで行くと階段を上って行きます。鳥居がある場所は狭いので気を付けてください。 帰りは……上り息切れ汗だく太ももが震えだす(笑) 途中何度も休みながら。 岩場の近くは足場が不安定になるので、安定した靴でオススメします。

(Translated by Google) Since it was close to my lodging, I decided to drop in around 8am! The forest path along the way felt a bit like something out of a Ghibli movie, creating an exciting and thrilling atmosphere. ✨ The panoramic view that unfolded once I left the forest was simply breathtaking!! 😳 And what's more, I only passed a few people, so I had the place to myself and enjoyed it at my leisure. ⚠️Warning: There are some long stairs, so you'll definitely be out of breath on the way back, but the excitement awaits! You'll experience the power of nature in a way that photos can't quite convey, so I highly recommend stopping by! I highly recommend it! 🙌 (Original) 宿から近かったので、朝8時くらいにふらっと行ってみました！ 途中の林道が、ちょっとジブリの世界みたいで、わくわくドキドキ雰囲気最高です✨ 林を抜けた先に広がる大パノラマの景色は、もう圧巻の一言！！😳 しかも、数人とすれ違っただけで、ほぼ貸し切り状態でゆっくり満喫できました。 ⚠️注意： 長めの階段があり、帰りは息切れ必須ですが、それ以上の感動が待ってます！ 画像では伝わらない、自然の迫力を体感できるので、ぜひ立ち寄ってみてほしいです！本当におすすめです🙌

(Translated by Google) This was my second visit, and the view was once again breathtaking. If you're in the Tosashimizu or Ashizuri area, this is a spot you should definitely stop by at least once. Access is a little narrow in places, but there is parking for about 6-8 cars and a vending machine. The footpath to the site is fairly steep, with stairs and ups and downs in the hills, so I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. Due to the location's orientation, it seems that the sun doesn't shine in very well first thing in the morning, so you can expect beautiful views from noon onwards, especially around sunset. If I have the chance, I'd like to visit at that time as well. (Original) 今回で2度目の訪問でしたが、やはり圧巻の景観でした。 土佐清水や足摺方面へお越しの際は、一度は立ち寄ってみるべきスポットです。 アクセスは道中やや狭い箇所もありますが、駐車場は6〜8台ほど駐車でき、また自動販売機も設置されています。 現地までの歩道は階段や坂道のアップダウンが比較的きつめですので、歩きやすい靴がおすすめです。 方位の関係で朝一番は日が差し込みにくいようですので、昼以降、特に夕陽の時間帯は美しい景色が期待できるかと思います。機会があれば、その時間帯にも訪れてみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) This beach is said to have been left behind by Kukai, and each of the rocks has a unique shape, and although the footing may be difficult, you can take a walk while admiring the unique geological formations. We recommend that you park your car at the parking lot where the tourist information center is located and take the Tatsukushi Sightseeing Steamship (glass boat) to the Miminari coast. You can also get there by walking along a mountain path for about 20 minutes from the leftover parking lot, but the path is rough so you'll need sturdy shoes. (Original) 空海が見残したと言われる海岸でどの岩も個性的な形をしており、足場は悪いですが変わった地層を眺めながら散策することができます。 観光案内所がある駐車場に車を停めて、「竜串観光汽船(グラスボート)」で見残し海岸へ来ることをおすすめします。 見残し駐車場から20分ほど山道を歩くことで来ることも出来ますが、荒れた道になりますのでしっかりとした靴が必要になります。

(Translated by Google) As of March 2025, the promenade is under construction. Construction is scheduled to continue until June 30th. Also, the pavement on the slope leading down to the parking lot has peeled off, so it may be impossible to drive a car up the slope, so it is best not to go down. Recommended for those who want to enjoy the natural formations. Be careful as you may get splashed by waves in places where the rocks are wet! (Original) 2025年3月現在、遊歩道は工事中でした。工事は6月30日までの予定。また、駐車場に下りる坂の舗装が剥がれており、車が登れなくなる恐れがありますので、下りない方が良いと思います。自然の造形を楽しみたい方におすすめです。岩が濡れている所は波しぶきを浴びるかもしれないので注意！

(Translated by Google) As we crossed Minokoshi Coast by boat, the land itself was an art museum. The cliffs have been carved in multiple layers, and the rocks, riddled with beehive-like holes, look like sculptures carved by nature over an incredibly long period of time. If humans were to carve stone, it would only last a generation, but the sea and wind take millennia to complete their work. It's impossible not to be in awe. But as I gazed at it, strange associations began to form in my mind. The rocks looked like a lion's face, a turtle's back, or sometimes just a plain bun. It seems that nature is both an artist and a witty person. People give the rocks arbitrary names and comment on them in admiration. In the end, we are merely guests making a racket at a nature exhibition. Minokoshi Coast is an outdoor art museum of nature, simultaneously majestic and humorous. (Original) 船で渡った見残し海岸は大地そのものが美術館であった。 断崖は幾重にも削られ、蜂の巣のような穴を抱えた岩は、自然が気の遠くなるほどの時間を費やして彫り上げた彫刻のように見える。 人間が石を削れば一代限りだが、海と風は千年単位で作品を仕上げる。そこに畏れを抱かずにはいられない。 しかし眺めているうちに、不思議な連想が浮かんでくる。 岩は獅子の顔に見えたり、亀の背中に見えたり、時にはただの饅頭にしか見えなかったりする。 自然はどうやら芸術家であると同時に、洒落好きでもあるらしい。 人はその岩に勝手な名をつけ、ああだこうだと感心する。 結局われわれは、自然の展示会で客として騒いでいるにすぎない。 見残し海岸は、荘厳とユーモアとを同時に抱いた、自然の野外美術館である。

(Translated by Google) It is a scenic spot that came to be called the ``Midashikashi Coast'' because it was left behind by Kukai (Kobo Daishi), and it seems that it can be accessed by land, but since you have to walk on a mountain path, you can see the glass that sticks out from the Tatsukushi Coast. It seems common to have them delivered by boat. Like the Tatsukushi Coast, the topography created by waves and winds eroding the sandstone and mudstone coast is a spectacular sight. Perhaps because the coastline is complex, I feel that the scenery here is more unique and unique than the Tatsukushi Coast. Personally, what caught my eye was the ``Beehive Castle''🐝The eroded rocky area looks like a beehive, creating a fantastical scenery that is well worth seeing. If you are wondering whether or not to take a glass boat, definitely go for it! (Original) 空海（弘法大師）が見残してしまったことから「見残し海岸」と呼ばれるようになった景勝地で、陸路でもアクセス可能なようですが、それなりに山道を歩くので竜串海岸から出ているグラスボートに乗って渡してもらうのが一般的なようです。 竜串海岸と同様に、砂岩と泥岩でできた海岸を波風が侵食して作り出した地形は絶景です。海岸線が複雑なためでしょうか、竜串海岸よりも、独特で異色な景色が広がっているように思います。 個人的に目を奪われたのは「蜂の巣城」でした🐝侵食された岩場がまるで蜂の巣のように見える情景は、奇想天外な景色を作りあげており、一見の価値あり。 グラスボートに乗るかどうか、迷っている方はぜひ渡りましょう！

(Translated by Google) It is said to be the coast left behind by Kukai, but it is a series of mysterious rocky areas that make you wonder if such a landscape exists in Japan. 😳😳It is the best scenic and adventure spot. 😆💦It's quite difficult to walk on, so if you're going to tour, we recommend sneakers. 👟👟 We will go by glass boat. 🚤You can complete the tour in about 50 minutes after arriving, but if you want to enjoy it slowly, you might want to delay the return boat by one boat. Due to poor footing and taking too much time to take photos, I ended up rushing to the observation deck. Tatsukushi Beach also has places with poor footing, but this place is not on par with that. 😅💦 Everything is at your own risk, including collapsed passages and narrow rocky areas with no chains or ropes. The slope of the observatory is covered with moss and there are steep steps that can be slippery on rainy days, so be careful.The view from the top is surrounded by trees, so you can only see part of the coast. There is only a toilet at the pier. Don't forget to stay hydrated depending on the season. (Original) 空海が見残した海岸と言われていますが、日本にこんな風景があるのかと思うような不思議な岩場の連続。😳😳サイコーの絶景&アドベンチャースポットです。😆💦かなり足元が悪いので、見学するならスニーカーをおすすめします。👟👟 グラスボートで行きます。🚤到着後50分位で周れますが、ゆっくり楽しむなら帰りのボートは一つ遅らせたほうが良いかもしれません。私は足場の悪さに加え写真撮影に時間を取り過ぎ、展望台へは急ぎ足になってしまいました。竜串海岸も足場の悪い場所がありますが、ここはその比ではありません。😅💦 崩れた通路や鎖もロープもない狭い岩場など、とにかく全てが自己責任です。 展望台の坂道は苔が生えていて急な階段もあり雨の日には滑りそうなので注意が必要、上からの展望は樹木があるので海岸の一部が見えるだけです。 船着き場にトイレがあるのみ。季節によっては水分補給もお忘れなく。

(Translated by Google) This is something that has been left behind for 50 years. The weather was good, the waves were calm, and it was great to ride a glass boat, and it was private. When the boat arrived at the pier, the captain came down and gave us an explanation of Kigan and some precautions. Afterwards, we walked around the coast, taking care of our heavy bodies, and even climbed up to the observation deck to enjoy it. Wow, it was completely different from my old memories. I'm glad I went. It would be a loss if I didn't see what was left behind. 2022.6.4 (Original) 50年振りの見残しです。天気も良く波も穏やかでグラスボート乗るのも最高でしたし貸し切り状態でした。船が桟橋に着くと船長さんが降りて来て、奇巌の説明と注意事項を言ってくれました。後は重い体を労わりながら　海岸を歩いて廻りました、見晴台にも登って　堪能しました。いゃ〜昔の想い出の記憶とは全く違ってました　行けて良かったですよ〜　見残しは見ないと損ですよ。2022.6.4

(Translated by Google) It's a spectacular view. You'll have to walk quite a bit on the mountain path from the leftover parking lot, so you'll need sturdy shoes. The cove where the glass boat is attached is calm, and there are benches and a covered waiting area, making it perfect for a lunch break. (Original) 絶景です。 見残し駐車場から山道を結構歩きますので、しっかりした靴が必要です。 グラスボートがつく入江は穏やかで、ベンチや屋根付きの待合も設置されていてお弁当休憩に最適です。

It is a humble little exhibit in the little village. It was interesting to see where John Manjiro was born. I would say it is not worthwhile to go out of your way to see this, but if you are in the area it is worthwhile.

(Translated by Google) As I was running toward the hotel at Cape Ashizuri, I saw a large signboard. I turned right and saw the birthplace of John Manjiro. I turned the steering wheel without thinking. After going down the narrow road, we arrived at the port. A long time ago, Manjiro Nakahama was shipwrecked after leaving that port. Last year, I went to an eel restaurant in Asakusa that has been around since the Edo period, and it turned out that it was a restaurant that John Manjiro often frequented. This year, when I went to visit Natsume Soseki's grave, I saw Nakahama Manjiro's grave nearby, so I visited there. This time, on my way to the hotel I had stayed at about 20 years ago, I saw a guide to the birthplace. All of these actions are unplanned. This may also have something to do with it. (Original) 足摺岬にあるホテルに向かって走っていたら大きな看板があった。右折、ジョン万次郎の生誕の地とあった。思わずハンドルを切った。狭い道を下ると港に出た。昔、その港を出て中浜万次郎は遭難した。 昨年、浅草で江戸時代からある鰻屋に行ったら、そこがジョン万次郎がよく通ったお店だった。 今年、夏目漱石のお墓参りに行ったら近くに中浜万次郎のお墓があったのてお墓参りをした。 今回、20年ほど前に泊まったことがあるホテル向かっている途中て誕生の地の案内を見た。 どれも予定外の行動になっている。これも何かの縁かもしれない。

(Translated by Google) It was a small house in a small fishing village. It can be visited for free during the day. Please be careful as you will be walking through an alleyway that you cannot enter by car. The monument is about a 3 minute walk from here. (Original) 小さな漁村の小さな家でした。日中は無料で見学できます。車で入っていけない路地を進みますので注意してください。記念碑はここから徒歩３分ぐらいの所にあります。

(Translated by Google) It was very well managed and very nice. Although the number of exhibits was small, there were many interesting exhibits such as photographs. As others have mentioned, there seems to be a parking problem. (Original) 綺麗に管理されておりとても良かったです。 展示数は少ないですが、写真など色々興味を引く展示有りました。 他の方も書かれていますが、駐車場の問題がありそうです。

(Translated by Google) A recreation of John Manjiro's birthplace. It seems that it was actually built a little further north, and there is a stone monument there. It was a really small house, and I thought it would have been full for a family of three. There is a well nearby that Manjiro used, but it's on someone else's property, so it's a little nerve-wracking to take a photo of it. There was no parking space, so I found a space where locals parked near Manjiro's monument (meeting hall?), so I parked there for a while. (Original) ジョン万次郎の再現生家。 本当はもう少し北側に建っていたようで、そこには石碑が立っています。 本当に小さな家で３人家族ではいっぱいだったろうなと思いました。 近くには万次郎が使用したという井戸がありますが他人の家の敷地内なので写真を撮るのは少し神経を使います。 駐車スペースがなく、万次郎の記念碑がある場所（集会所？）に地元の人が停めてるスペースがあったので少しの間停めさせてもらいました。

(Translated by Google) I decided to visit it as it was featured in the pamphlet I received when I entered the John Manjiro Museum. It's about a 20-minute drive from the museum. It's located in a small alley near the sea, standing alone amongst private houses. Manjiro's mother's hometown (the Nakatani family) is also nearby. (Original) ジョン万次郎資料館入館時にもらったパンフレットに載っていたので訪ねてみました。資料館から車で約20分。海の近くの小さな路地…民家の中にポツンとたっています。近くに万次郎の母の出里（中谷家）もありました。

(Translated by Google) Although it is located in a small port town, this place is located at the back of an ordinary private house. You have to go through a really small alley, but this house is the only one that is very clean. It's a bit unbalanced that the other houses look quite old. I think the preservation society is doing a good job, but when I went there, there were no other visitors. It seems that you can enter the entrance freely depending on the time, and when you enter there is a box for donations. I think it's quite difficult to maintain. If it becomes a drama, I think it will become quite famous. (Original) 小さな港町にありますが、ここの場所は普通の民家の奥にあります。 本当に小さな路地を通らないといけないのですが、こちらの家だけが、とてもきれいな建物です。他の家がそれなりに古く見えてしまうのが、少しアンバランスですね。 保存会がきちんとしていると思いますが、私が行った時には、他の訪問者はいなかったです。 玄関は時間により自由に入れるみたいで、中に入ると寄付金の箱がありました。維持するにもそれなりに大変だと思います。 ドラマ化になると、それなりに有名なると思います。

A beautiful area of coastline with great views, but be careful as the path is beginning to crumble into the sea!

Fascinating unique rock formations, definitely worth a stop!

be prepared to walk on these aged rocks, a bit tricky for older folks but for those who manage to do it, it is a sight to behold

Interesting rock formations that go out into the sea.

free park with free parking. excellent walk.

Glass boat

(Translated by Google) Tuesday, September 30th It's been a while since I last visited Tatsukushi Beach! As always, the natural beauty of this formation is truly moving. The route from the visitor center passes through Sakurahama, making for a perfect stroll. However, there are many oddly shaped rocks, so be careful not to trip. 😆 Several people came out today to fish for bigfin reef squid, but did they catch any squid? 😁 (Original) 9月30日（火） 久しぶりの竜串海岸！ やっぱり、この自然の作り出した造形美には感動させられます。 ビジターセンターから桜浜を通って来られるので、ちょうど良い散策コースです。 ただ、奇岩ばかりなので足元には注意して歩かないと、間違いなく躓きますよ😆 今日は、アオリイカ釣りの方が何人か来ていましたが釣果はイカに？😁

A nice, clean aquarium with a variety of fish and sea slugs. I was able to get a Ryoma Passport stamp here.

Nice place to appreciate the beauty of Kochi's geography

Amazing aquarium! 1year pass is 1700yen. I didn't hesitate to purchase it so that I can come back to see unique sea creatures.

Small but nice.

Nice place to visit with the kids

Good

Small aquarium with many small aquatic animals exhibits

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on a casual bike tour. It was my first time having Soudabushi, and the set meal, which is eaten with plenty of rice and tamari soy sauce, is extremely delicious. This alone is enough to make several bowls of rice. Meals include dried fish set meals, thick-fried egg set meals, and burgers. I am very satisfied that I can get this for less than 1000 yen! The mothers who serve us are also friendly and warm. Inside the store, there are exhibits that give you a sense of the manufacturing process and history of Soudabushi. You can also buy souvenirs. Since the food is generally very flavorful, we recommend purchasing a drink at the same time as your meal. (PET bottles are also sold at the store) It was a good store that I would like to visit again if I am nearby. (Original) バイクのツーリングでふらりと立ち寄りました。初めて宗田節をいただきましたが、たっぷりとご飯に掛けたまり醤油を回しがけして食べる定食は最高に美味しい。これだけでご飯が何杯も行けてしまいます。お食事は干物の定食と厚焼き玉子の定食、バーガーがあります。これで1000円以下でいただけるのは大満足！給仕していただくお母さんたちも気さくで温かいもてなしです。店内には宗田節の製造工程、歴史を感じられる展示物もあり。お土産も買えます。総じて味が濃ゆいもののため、食事後は飲み物を同時に買ってゆく事をおすすめします。（お店でペットボトルも販売されてます）また近くによっまた際は再訪したい良いお店でした。

(Translated by Google) You can eat very delicious dashimaki tamagoyaki. You can choose between dashimaki or dried mejika. You can eat either one! The staff are friendly and we had a fun lunch. I was able to eat it. Sprinkle Soudabushi over the rice. It was so delicious! (Original) とても美味しいだし巻き卵焼きが食べられます。 だし巻きかメジカの干物が選べるので どちらを食べてもいいです！ 店員さんも気さくな方で楽しくお昼ご飯が 食べれました。 ご飯の上に宗田節をふんわりとかけて とても美味しかったです！

(Translated by Google) It is located on the way to Cape Ashizuri, and you can buy souvenirs of bonito flakes and have bonito flakes rice for lunch. I stopped by to buy souvenirs. When I entered the shop, they let me try a bonito flakes with hot water poured over it, which gave it plenty of broth and was very flavorful and delicious! Bonito flakes are a fish called Souda-bushi, which is much smaller than bonito. They showed me the actual bonito flakes before they were shaved next to the register. The shop staff was kind and explained things clearly. I bought the bonito flakes and furikake I was looking for. The bonito flakes in the empty bottle that the shop staff recommended are dashi soy sauce that you make at home by adding soy sauce and topping it up. If you leave it in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days, the bonito flakes will start to release broth, and it is recommended to add more immediately after using it. It will last for about a year. They told me that the trick is to break the bonito flakes with your hands before adding soy sauce so that they are always submerged in soy sauce. I would like to try it! Before stopping here, I also stopped by Mejika no Sato Tosashimizu Roadside Station, which had the same products and the same prices. (Original) 足摺岬へ向かう道の途中にあり、宗田節のお土産や宗田節を削ったご飯のランチが頂けます。 私はお土産目的で立ち寄りました。 お店に入ると、宗田節にお湯を注いだものを試飲させてくれて、それだけで充分出汁が出てとても味わい深く美味しかったです！ 宗田節はソウダガツオという鰹よりかなり小ぶりな魚だそうです。削る前の実物がレジ横に置いてあり見せてくれました。お店の方が親切で分かりやすく説明してくれました。 目的の宗田節削り節やふりかけを購入。お店の方がおすすめしてくれた、空の瓶に入った宗田節は、自分で醤油を入れ継ぎ足しながら自宅で作る出汁醤油だそうです。冷蔵庫で2、3日漬けていたら宗田節から出汁が出てきて、使ったらすぐ継ぎ足していくのがおすすめだそうです。1年ぐらい持つとか。コツは醤油を入れる前に、宗田節を手で折って常に醤油に浸るようにすると良いよ、と教えてくれました。 やってみたいです！ こちらに立ち寄る前に、道の駅めじかの里土佐清水も寄りましたが、こちらと同じ商品が置いてあり値段も同じでした。

(Translated by Google) Tosashimizu's Munetabushi is now available! You can also try your hand at making a Soda-bushi dashi soy sauce bottle, and it's also great that you can make your own original dashi soy sauce. The dashimaki tamago and mejika mirin for lunch are highly recommended! The toilets are also clean and it is a recommended place when visiting Tosashimizu. (Original) 土佐清水の宗田節が勢揃いしてます！宗田節のだし醤油瓶の体験もでき、オリジナルのだし醤油が作れるのもいいです。ランチのだし巻き卵もメジカみりんも超オススメ！トイレも綺麗で土佐清水に行くときはオススメポイントです。

(Translated by Google) Meals are available from 10am. Auntie's homemade tamagoyaki was delicious😋, and the dried mejika fish was also delicious as it is a local specialty😋 It was a great service that you could get free refills of rice and bonito flakes👍 (Original) 10時からお食事が出来ます。おばちゃんの手作り卵焼き美味しかったし😋、めじかの干物も地元の名物だけあり美味しかったです😋 ごはんとかつお節はお代わり自由というのもサイコーなサービスでした👍

(Translated by Google) On my way from Cape Ashizuri to Kashiwajima, I was drawn to the yellow sign and building and stopped by. I had a set meal of Muneta bonito shavings on rice, marinated mejika fish (choice of dashimaki omelet or either), miso soup, and tsukudani. It was delicious. I was told that I could get a second helping of Muneta-bushi and rice, so I accepted my request, but it was clearly too much for an old man in his 50s, but I was touched by the kindness of the lady who served as the poster girl, and I went back to my parents' house. The comfort of feeling like you're at home is the best thing I gained from this trip. I thought it was a cafe without knowing anything about it, and when I saw the yellow signboard that read ``Dashi no Sato Takemasa Shoten'' on an empty stomach, I was disappointed, but I'm glad I went in. I was able to talk with the company president who happened to be there, and I was also able to buy some souvenirs, which I was grateful for. (Original) 足摺岬から柏島へ向かう途中で黄色い看板と建物に惹かれて立ち寄ってみました。 宗田鰹の削りぶしかけごはんとメジカのみりん干し(だし巻き卵かどちらかのチョイス)、味噌汁、佃煮の定食をいただきました。美味しかった〜。 宗田節とごはんはおかわりできるとの事でお言葉に甘えていただいてしまいましたが、明らかに50代のおっさんには食べ過ぎなのですが、看板娘のおねえさん方の優しさに触れて、実家にいるような居心地の良さは、この旅一番の収穫です。 何も知らずにカフェと思い込み、空腹時に見た黄色い看板に、『だしの郷　たけまさ商店』の文字を確認した時はガッカリしましたが、入ってよかった。たまたまいらっしゃった社長ともお話し出来たり、お土産も買えたりで有り難かったです。

(Translated by Google) I read the reviews and thought it looked like I could try some delicious bonito flakes, so I stopped by. I ordered a set meal of Sota-bushi and dried fish, and the flavor of the bonito flakes was truly the best. The unlimited bonito flakes were crunchy and went well with the rice, but the dried mejika was also irresistibly delicious.The sweet seasoning matched the lean meat in a good way, and you can only eat it here. It tasted so delicious! The staff were very friendly and the inside of the store was clean, so I thought I had found a really nice store. (Original) 口コミを見て美味しそうな鰹節が食べれそうだなと思って寄りました。 宗田節と干物の定食を頼んだのですが、本当にかつお節の旨みが最高でした。 かけ放題の鰹節はパリパリでご飯との相性抜群でしたが、めじかの干物がまたたまらない美味しさで、いい意味で脂の少ない身に甘めの味付けがマッチして、ここでしか食べられない味って感じでとっても美味しかったです！ 店員さんもとっても気さくで、店内も綺麗で、すごく素敵なお店に巡り会えたなと思いました。

It’s a small market. Souvenir not attractive. You can have seafood Don rice with limited choice here.

Small, but feel free to stop for lunch.

Nice environment, food is good, got sea view.

orang juice yummy fish shoyu too

Nice but open at lunch time only

So good

(Translated by Google) After circling Cape Ashizuri, we stopped here for lunch. The three-colored rice bowl was delicious, and the wasabi was a tiny flower that's easy to miss! It's quite charming to lean against the table and admire the beautiful sea views. (Original) 繞完足摺岬一圈後，剛好在這邊午餐，三色丼飯好吃，哇沙米是一朵小小花，很容易不小心錯過！桌面靠著欣賞海面的美景，很有情趣。

I really enjoyed the dinner, the tonkatsu was delicious! Cape is a good choice if you're staying in the area.

quaint little place serving good home made food. no luxury nor thrills, and it will mot make it to IG, but if you look for a decently priced dinner, that is also tasty, go there.

Fantastic place. Mom and pop shop, no English, but great food. Skip the tourist restaurants near the temple.

Probably the only place for dinner after 5pm. Serves local Japanese dishes. Friendly, cozy and inexpensive. Managed to strike up conversation with the staff and patrons.

Exceptional place with english menu and over the top food. Couldn't be fresher

Super

(Translated by Google) I stayed at Asizuri Terme and chose a plan that didn't include dinner, so I had dinner here. The tempura was crispy and delicious! I ordered a beer and it came with boiled pumpkin, which was great! (Original) アシズリテルメの宿泊利用で夕飯なしのプランにしたので夜ご飯はこちらにお世話になりました。天ぷらサクサクで美味しかったです！ビールを頼んだらカボチャの煮物も付いていて最高でした！

Nice restaurant, nice food, affordable, great view!

(Translated by Google) You can eat fresh Shimizu mackerel directly delivered from Tosashimizu, Kochi Prefecture. We recommend the fisherman's pickled set meal! (Original) 高知県土佐清水直送の清水さばが生で食べれる 漁師漬け定食がオススメ！

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way back from a pilgrimage. The seats on the second floor overlook the ocean and allow you to enjoy your meal in a relaxed manner. Since the woman only has one surgery, it might be a good idea to wait comfortably while enjoying the view. The first floor was a souvenir shop. They had an old-fashioned keychain, so I bought that too. If you want to enjoy your meal while looking out at the sea, this is the place for you. (Original) お遍路の帰りに立ち寄りました。 2階席からは海が見渡せてゆったりと食事が楽しめます。 女性の方がワンオペですので、景色を楽しみながらゆったりと待ってあげると良いかもしれません。 1階はお土産売り場になっていました。 昔ながらのキーホルダーがあったので、そちらも買いました。 海を見ながら食事を楽しみたい方はぜひどうぞ。

(Translated by Google) Because other stores were closed today, when I was looking for a place to eat, the old lady of this store waved at the door and went in to have lunch. We had the whale set meal and eel set meal, which were very delicious. I especially like the eel, it's really delicious. Bonito is also very delicious! I don’t really like the original taste of whale, so I don’t blame the store. (Original) 今天因為其他店關門，所以在找地方吃飯時，這家店的老奶奶在門口招手，就進去了那裡吃午餐。我們吃了鯨定食和鰻魚定食，味道非常好。我特別喜歡它的鰻魚，真的很美味。鰹魚也十分好吃！鯨魚本來的口感我就不太喜歡所以也不怪店家了。

(Translated by Google) I had a fisherman's pickled Shimizu mackerel set meal. Thank you for the meal (Original) 清水さばの漁師漬け定食いただきました ごちそうさまでした

(Translated by Google) The bonito bowl is delicious! Made with homemade sauce, it goes well with both bonito and rice! ! I am grateful to the staff at the store for their kind customer service. (Original) カツオ丼が美味しい！ 自家製のタレを使われており、カツオにもご飯にも合う！！ お店の方も優しく接客していただき、ありがたかったです。

(Translated by Google) When I asked at the Cape Ashizuri Tourist Information Center about nearby lunch options, they recommended Tosashimizu city. (Original) 足摺岬観光案内所で近くで昼食聞いたら、土佐清水市街を勧められました。

Delicious curry and chill atmosphere. Fills up at lunchtime, so get there early.

Super good vegi curry.

Its Sunday, its one o'clock. We went all the way out to this place, and they're closed.

(Translated by Google) I came to a concert nearby, so I searched for lunch in the area and went there. Just before Iburi Tunnel, there is a road that turns to the right. There is a parking lot if you go from there, so it's easy to find. I get lost when I go through the Iburi tunnel. Once you park your car in the parking lot, go down the hill. Nice storefront, and of course the inside is also nice! There was a nice, kind and considerate female clerk, and a manager who was very particular about his work. And the main curry is the best! Even if you don't like spice curry, the keema here is fine! I think you will be satisfied. On this day, I had Iburikari's keema and shrimp curry. Personally, it was so delicious that I wanted a large serving of roux. You can add up to 10 times the spices, so please try it. The only thing left is coffee! I wanted to see it! (Original) 近くにコンサートに来たので周辺ランチで検索して行きました。 以布利トンネル手前に、向かって右に曲がる道があります。そちらから行くと駐車場がありますので分かりやすいかと。以布利トンネルを通っていくと迷います。 駐車場に車を停めたら坂を下ります。 素敵な店構え、もちろん中も素敵！ 心遣いの優しい素敵な女性店員さんとこだわり抜いた気迫がひしひしと感じる店長さんがいらっしゃいました。 そしてメインのカレーがなによりも素晴らしい！ スパイスカレーが苦手な方もここのキーマは大丈夫！ 満足出来ると思います。 この日は、いぶりかりぃのキーマとエビカレーを頂きました。個人的には美味しすぎてルー大盛りにしたいくらいでした。 スパイス10倍まで追加が出来るので是非お試しください。 あと心残りはコーヒー！のみたかったー！

(Translated by Google) It may be rude to say this in a place like this, but being able to eat authentic spice curry in the southernmost tip of Kochi rather than in the city center of Osaka is a valuable experience in itself. When I went there, I chose from two types: keema and chicken, and added vegetables for an additional 100 yen for both, and the shabby roux went well with the firm rice. It's less spicy. I'm really grateful to be able to have a good meal at a beautiful cafe-like restaurant as there aren't many places to eat nearby. (Original) こんなところでと言ったら失礼になってしまうかもしれないが、大阪の市街地ではなく高知の最南端で本格的なスパイスカレーが食べられるのはそれだけでも貴重な体験だ。 行った時はキーマとチキンの2種から選んでどちらも＋100円で野菜追加、シャバシャバ系のルーが固めのご飯とよく合う。辛さマシあり。 近辺に食事ができるところが少ない中でカフェ的な綺麗なお店で良い食事ができるのは本当にありがたい。

(Translated by Google) It's loaded with vegetables and meat, and it's spicy but sweet! ! It was my favorite curry. The location was a little confusing and other customers seemed confused as well. (Original) 野菜とお肉がたくさん入っていて、スパイシーだけど、甘い！！ 私好みのカレーでした。 場所がややわかりにくく、他のお客さんも迷ってるみたいでした。

(Translated by Google) Authentic spicy curry with a taste for adults. The atmosphere of the store is small and cute, and it's a very soothing space. The staff at the store were soft and kind and made me feel at ease♪ (Original) 本格的なスパイシーカレーで大人の味です。 店の雰囲気もこじんまりと可愛くて、とても癒やされる空間です。 お店の人の対応も柔らかくて優しくて癒やされました♪

Quite busy during lunch time in both the shop and parking lot.

(Translated by Google) I arrived around 11:30 and the restaurant was already bustling with regulars. I had the katsu curry. The curry reminded me of the nostalgic curry I remember from Kanimo Shokudo. The katsu meat was a little tough, but it was delicious. I noticed while I was in the restaurant that everyone except me had ordered gomoku soba. Next time I think I'll try the gomoku soba, a favorite among locals. (Original) 11時半ごろに到着しましたが中はすでに常連さんで賑わっていました。 カツカレーをいただきました。 カレーは懐かしいいかにも食堂のカレーって感じがしました。 カツも肉は少しかためでしたが美味しかったです。 店にいる時に気付いたのですが、私以外全員五目そばを注文していました。 今度は地元の方に愛されている五目そばを食べようと思います。

(Translated by Google) It bothered me when I was traveling. It was in a pretty nice location, and when I entered the store, I didn't hear a word of welcome, so I wondered if it was okay to enter. The aunty was serving customers normally, but the uncle was silent the whole time...I guess that's normal for a restaurant. It seems to be loved by the locals, so I think it's fine once you get used to it. Champon was cheap and delicious at 600 yen even though it was a large amount. It was nice that they brought a plate each time. I didn't know where the toilet was. The hurdles were high for travelers. (Original) 旅行の際にお邪魔しました。 なかなかな場所にあり入店しても、いらっしゃいませ、の一言も無かったので入って大丈夫なのかな❓と思いました。 おばちゃんの方は普通の接客ですが、おじちゃんは終始無言…それが当たり前のお店なんだろうなと。地元に愛されてるみたいなので慣れればそれで良いような気もします。 ちゃんぽん、量があるのに600円、安いし美味しかったです。 取り皿もその都度持ってきてくれてそこは良かったです。 トイレが何処にあるのか分かりませんでした。 旅行者にはハードル高かったです。

(Translated by Google) I visited here for the champon. The simple, gentle seasoning and the plentiful vegetables make it very delicious 😋 The value for money is also excellent! It's quite far away and difficult to get to, but it's a restaurant I'd like to go to again for the champon 🤤 (Original) ちゃんぽん目当てでお伺いしました。 素朴で優しい味付け、野菜もたっぷりでとても美味しい😋 コスパも抜群です！ なかなか遠くて行きづらいですが、ちゃんぽん食べにまた行きたいお店です🤤

(Translated by Google) This is a popular restaurant that has been in Tosashimizu for 50 years. Nostalgic taste, simple is best! My personal recommendation is Champon. They have a triple menu of delicious, cheap, and fast food, and they also have tatami rooms, so they can accommodate a large number of people. (Original) 土佐清水で50年続く大衆食堂です。昔懐かしい味、シンプルイズベスト！個人的なオススメなのはチャンポンです。美味い安い早いの三拍子が揃っていて、座敷もあるので大人数も入れます。

(Translated by Google) I ordered a large serving of cutlet curry. I was always drawn to the smell of curry at the restaurant where I often visited for work, so I finally got around to eating there after I quit my previous job. The inside of the restaurant is styled like a real set meal restaurant, which is rare these days, and the cutlet curry is freshly fried cutlet topped with a delicious roux. The flavor is similar to that of Kitchen Nankai in Tokyo, which I really like. Due to the regional characteristics, the regular size at restaurants in this area is probably aimed at the elderly, but it's a little smaller, so it's the perfect size for women. For men, we recommend a large serving (probably about 0.8 cups of rice). It was an extra 50 yen for a large serving. The parking lot has space for about 4 light cars, so you can't go wrong with this set meal restaurant. (Original) カツカレー大盛りを注文。 仕事でよく伺った食堂で訪問のたびにカレーの匂いに惹かれたので前職を辞めてからやっと食べに来ることができた。 店内は今は少なくなった本当の定食屋さんのスタイルでカツカレーはしっかり揚がった揚げたてカツに美味しいルーがかけてある。味は東京のキッチン南海の味に近いルーでとても好み。 地域柄この地区の飲食店さんの通常サイズはお年寄り向けなのか少し少なめなので女性にちょうどいいサイズ。男性は大盛り（多分米0.8合くらい）をお勧めする。大盛り50円プラスでした。 駐車場は軽自動車が4台ほど停められるスペースで間違いのない定食屋さんです。

(Translated by Google) I stop by here when I go to Tosashimizu for work. It's a local restaurant that retains the atmosphere of the Showa era. There are few seats and parking spaces, so it gets busy with locals at lunchtime, so I recommend going early. Personally, I love the curry, which has a comforting taste and atmosphere. They also have a variety of other dishes, such as ramen and fried rice. (Original) 仕事で土佐清水に行く時に寄ります。 昭和の雰囲気が残っている街の食堂です。席数、駐車場が少なく昼時は地元の方で混むので早めに行ことをオススメします。 個人的には何だかホッとする味と雰囲気のカレーがお気に入りです。 他にもラーメンや焼飯など色々とあります。

(Translated by Google) Perak grilled on both sides 500 yen size Ours in the center is 700 yen size When I ordered a non-alcoholic beer, the glass was freezing cold and the bubbles were bumpy! You'll be cutting it up on a griddle and eating it, so it'll be great if you pour it over it while it's piping hot! The parking lot is in front of the agricultural cooperative. (Original) 両脇のペラ焼きが500円サイズ 中央の私たちのが700円サイズ ノンアルビールを頼んだらグラスがキンキンに冷えてて泡がボコボコ！鉄板の上で切り分けて食べるから熱々のをこれで流し込んだら最高！ 駐車場は農協の前です

(Translated by Google) I was looking for something to eat for lunch, and there was a popular restaurant in my neighborhood with a long line, but I was wondering how about seafood every day? So I chose this shop for powder products. Strictly speaking, I think some people are of the opinion that hygiene management is okay, but that's fine! This is the kind of shop (assertion) This is the kind of restaurant where anything is forgiven as long as it's delicious. Fish paste? It was like eating a crepe filled with sweet and spicy sauce and eating it huffing and puffing.It would have been great with beer, but since I have a handle, I didn't drink alcohol! It was still great It was explained that you can choose the size of the baked goods in 100 yen increments from 500 yen to 1000 yen, but hmm? I wonder if it's necessary to be that detailed? For 500 yen, I put one egg on top, and for 1,000 yen, I put two eggs on top, but in the middle of that, it was a mystery how many eggs to use? I would like 6 people to come and order from 500 yen to 1000 yen and solve this mystery. (Original) お昼ご飯を探してて、この近所に行列ができてる人気店もあったのですが連日の海鮮系ってどうよ？ってことで粉もののこちらのお店をチョイス 厳密に言うと衛生管理の方は大丈夫なんかな〜って意見もあると思うけど、いいんです！こういうお店はこれで（断言） 美味しければ全て許される、そういうお店です 魚のすり身？が入ったクレープに甘辛ソースを塗ってハフハフ食べる、そんな感じの食べ物でした、ビールなら最高でしたがハンドル持ってるのでノンアルで！それでも最高でした 500円から1000円まで100円刻みで焼く大きさが選べるという説明でしたが、ん〜?そこまで細かくする必要あるんかな? 500円は玉子1個、1000円は玉子2個を上に掛けてましたが、その途中だと玉子を何個使うか謎？ ぜひ6名で訪れて、500円から1000円までオーダーしてこの謎を解いて欲しいところです

(Translated by Google) This store is located in the center of Tosashimizu City, along the Chuo-machi shopping street, one street south of the national highway. Founded in 1955, the restaurant has a large iron plate where Perayaki is grilled constantly. Pera-yaki is said to be Tosashimizu's soul food containing jakoten. The price varies depending on the size, and if you tell us the price, we will bake it in the appropriate size. I ordered Perayaki 500 yen including tax. It was served on a charcoal-heated iron plate and had lots of chopped jakoten and green onions in it, and it tasted similar to grilled green onions and was delicious. (Original) 土佐清水市の中心部、国道から一本南に入った中央町商店街沿いにあるお店です。 創業昭和32年、店内には大きな鉄板があり、ひっきりなしにペラ焼きが焼かれています。ペラ焼きとはじゃこ天の入った土佐清水のソウルフードだそうです。 大きさによって値段が違い、値段をお伝えするとそれに相応しい大きさで焼いてくださいます。 ペラ焼き500円税込を注文。炭火で熱せられた鉄板の上で、刻まれたじゃこ天とネギがたくさん入っていて、ネギ焼きに近い味がして美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) It took about 2 hours and 30 minutes by car from home using the expressway. It's like okonomiyaki, which is made by putting green onions and jakoten on a thin batter and grilling it, and you can eat it with regular Worcestershire sauce, spicy Worcestershire sauce, or sweet tonkatsu sauce as you like. It's very easy to eat and delicious when you cut it into bite-sized pieces! I ate it with 3 types of sauce. I liked the spiciest one Yakisoba with pork was so delicious that I was surprised! Somewhat nostalgic taste 😊 I would like to go eat there again By the way, the large iron plate is heated with charcoal rather than gas. I think I'll try making Pera-yaki at camp. ( ´∀｀ )b [Note] The parking lot is located a little far away. The aero parts of my car were definitely going to rub when I tried to get out of the driveway, so I entered the parking lot using the sidewalk. Be careful when lowering the vehicle height or installing aero parts (^∀^;) (Original) 家から車で高速も使い2時間30分位かけて来ました 薄い生地にネギとじゃこ天をのせ焼き上げるお好み焼きのようなものでウスター普通、ウスター辛口、トンカツソース甘口を好みでつけて食べます 一口サイズに切って食べるととても食べやすく美味しい！ ソースも3種類追いソースをして食べました 僕は一番辛口が好みでした 焼きそば豚肉入りが、とても美味しくてびっくり！ どこか懐かしの味😊 また食べに行きたいと思います ちなみに大きな鉄板は、ガスではなく炭火で加熱しています キャンプでペラ焼きやってみようかな ( ´∀｀ )b 【注意】駐車場は少し離れたところにありますが 僕の車は、車道から上がろうとすると絶対にエアロパーツが擦りそうでしたので、歩道を利用して駐車場に入りました 車高を下げたり、エアロパーツ装着車はご注意を(^∀^；)

(Translated by Google) Tosashimizu City's original perayaki soul food shop boasts a history of over 60 years. My current mother is the third generation. After the war, the first owner (mother's grandmother) invented perayaki and sold it at the store, which became popular and continues to this day. Perayaki is made by rolling out a thin layer of dough similar to okonomiyaki, adding ingredients and baking it like a crepe. The price ranges from 400 yen to 800 yen, and the price changes depending on the ingredients and size. Also, the sauce ranges from sweet to dry. Spicy sauces contain pepper, and the standard for spiciness is the strength of the pepper. From February 12, 2022, the spread prevention measures have been issued in Kochi Prefecture, so eating and drinking in the restaurant is no longer possible, and only takeout is available. We had delicious freshly baked fish at the fishing port right next door. By the way, he became the first champion of the S-1 Grand Prix, which was held for the first time this year. (Original) 創業60年以上の歴史を誇る、土佐清水市のソウルフード元祖ぺら焼きのお店。現在のお母さんが３代目。 初代店主（お母さんの祖母）が戦後、ぺら焼きを発案して店頭販売したところ人気となり現在まで続いている。 ぺら焼きはお好み焼きのような生地を薄く伸ばし、具材を入れてクレープのように焼き上げます。 料金は400円〜800円となっており、中に入れる具材や大きさで料金が変わります。 またソースは甘口〜辛口とあります。辛口ソースには胡椒が入っており、辛さの基準は胡椒の濃さになります。 2022/2/12~から高知県内でもまん延防止が発令された事で、店内飲食は不可となりテイクアウトのみとなりました。 すぐ隣の漁港で美味しく焼き立てをいただきました。 ちなみに今年初開催されたS-1グランプリの初代チャンピオンに輝いたそうです。

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot a little distance from the store that can fit about three cars. There is a handwritten sign. It's been a while since I last came back. I ordered a sweet and spicy sauce. If it was near my house, it's the kind of flavor I'd want to eat with a beer in hand. (Original) 駐車場は店から少し離れた場所に3台くらい。手書きの立板あり。 久しぶりのリピ。タレは甘めと辛めで注文。 いやー、家の近くにあったらビール片手に飲みながら食べたい味。

(Translated by Google) If you ask whether it's delicious, I'd say it's a bit of a stretch. I don't think it's worth traveling all the way to the end of Shikoku just to eat it. However, the son is very flexible. He is happy to accommodate requests. I've given him a star for his kind personality. Apparently he can also send it frozen to other parts of the country. It's a great place for locals to relax and enjoy a drink while eating it. One piece will fill you up. (Original) 美味しいかと言われたら微妙。 わざわざ四国の端まで食べに来なくても～っと思うぐらい。 ただ、息子さん、かなり柔軟な対応されます。 リクエストに応えてくれる方です。 優しいお人柄に★を付けてます。 冷凍で地方にも送れるそうです。 一杯飲みながら食べる地元の方には憩いの場所ですね。 一枚でおなかいっぱいになりますよ。

(Translated by Google) Yesterday, I had dinner with my husband and his classmates. It is better to make a reservation. The sashimi platter is definitely recommended by Shimizu. I ordered Shimizu's recommended sashimi, Hagatsuo, and tuna. Afterwards, it seems that there was Shimizu mackerel, but I don't like mackerel so 😂☓ The crispy pork salad was also delicious. Shimizu is a rural area where there are no taxis after 6pm. Visitors from outside the prefecture are surprised. Mayor please do something 🙏 It seems that there are substitutes, so please check with each restaurant. (Original) 昨日、主人と主人の同級生と会食。 予約して行ったほうが良いです。 刺し身盛り合わせは、さすが清水のおすすめです。 清水のおすすめ刺し身ハガツオにマグロ頼みました。 後、清水サバあったみたいですが、サバは苦手なので😂☓ 豚肉パリパリサラダも美味しかったです。 清水は18時以降タクシーは無い、田舎です。 県外客からはびっくりされます。市長なんとかしてください🙏 代行があるみたいなので、各飲食店で確認してください。

Very kind staff and excellent (sea) food! Highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) This is a store I always visit when I go back home! Although there are stock availability, Shimizu mackerel is exquisite! ! ! It seems that there are also Kiriai and Nagariko depending on the season. There were also menu items that even children could enjoy, such as omelet rice. (Original) 実家に帰省すれば、必ず利用するお店です！ 仕入れ状況もありますが、清水サバが絶品！！！ キリアイや流れ子も時期によって、あるそうです。 オムライスなど子供でも食べれるメニューもありました。

(Translated by Google) We visited "Hozaki," an izakaya restaurant located in the port town of Tosashimizu, Kochi Prefecture. The interior has a homey atmosphere. There's an aquarium near the counter seats, and the fresh seafood on display is simply breathtaking. The menu is surprisingly diverse, offering everything from Tosa's local cuisine to original, creative dishes. ■Grouper Sashimi We luxuriously enjoyed grouper, known as a luxury fish, as sashimi. The translucent flesh was firm and had a pleasant crunchy texture. The more we chewed, the more the elegant sweetness and umami spread throughout our mouths, making it a perfect match with sake. ■Fried Moray Eel Deep-fried moray eel, a rare ingredient unique to Kochi. With a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, it's almost like chicken. Its mild flavor combined with a unique umami flavor made it addictive. ​■Seared Akadori Chicken A dish made with fresh Akadori chicken, grilled to a fragrant finish. Crispy and fragrant on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. The savory flavor of the chicken oozes out with every bite, offering a deliciousness completely different from charcoal-grilled dishes. ​■Charcoal-Grilled Akadori Chicken This charcoal-grilled Akadori chicken is carefully grilled over charcoal. The savory aroma of the charcoal fire whets the appetite, and you can savor the juicy flavor of the meat. The simple cooking method really brings out the quality of the ingredients. ​■Fluffy Grilled Yam and Crab This dish features grated and grilled yam, creating a delightfully fluffy texture. The gentle flavor of the yam and the savory taste of the crab combine to create a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth dish. ​■Flying Fish Roe Pasta This is an original pasta dish made with Korean noodles. The crunchy texture and saltiness of the flying fish roe blended exquisitely with the pasta, creating a rich flavor. Despite the originality of the menu, I was amazed at how well-made it was. Across the board, the quality of the ingredients in each dish stood out, highlighting the chef's meticulous work. The seafood personally selected by the chef and the various local Kochi dishes were especially delicious, offering exceptional flavors you can only find here. The menu is so extensive that you'll always find something new, and you'll never get bored. However, many dishes are unavailable due to the day's catch. This is also evidence of the restaurant's commitment to freshness. ... (Original) ​高知県土佐清水市、港町に佇む居酒屋「ほざき」を訪問しました。 ​店内は、アットホームな雰囲気。カウンター席の近くには水槽もあり、活きの良い海鮮に圧倒されます。 ​メニューは、土佐の郷土料理から、独創的な創作料理まで、驚きの豊富さです。 ​■クエの刺身 高級魚として知られるクエを、贅沢にもお刺身でいただきました。 透明感のある身は、しっかりと身が引き締まっており、コリコリとした歯ごたえが心地よいです。噛むほどに上品な甘みと旨みが口いっぱいに広がり、日本酒との相性も抜群でした。 ​■うつぼの唐揚げ 高知ならではの珍しい食材、うつぼの唐揚げです。 外はカリカリ、中はふわふわとした食感で、まるで鶏肉のようです。淡白な味わいの中に、独特の旨みがあり、一度食べたらやみつきになる美味しさでした。 ​■あかどりのたたき 新鮮なあかどりを、香ばしく炙った一品。 外はパリッと香ばしく、中はしっとりと柔らかい。噛むたびに鶏肉の旨みがじゅわっと溢れ出し、炭火焼きとはまた違った美味しさが楽しめます。 ​■あかどりの炭火焼き 炭火で丁寧に焼き上げられたあかどりの炭火焼き。 炭火の香ばしい香りが食欲をそそり、ジューシーな肉の旨みが堪能できます。シンプルな調理法だからこそ、素材の良さが際立っていました。 ​■山芋蟹ふわふわ焼き 山芋をすりおろして焼いた、ふわふわとした食感が楽しい一品です。 山芋の優しい風味と、蟹の旨みが合わさり、口の中でとろけるような美味しさでした。 ​■とびっこパスタ 韓国麺を使った創作パスタです。 とびっこのプチプチとした食感と塩気が、パスタと絶妙に絡み合い、濃厚な味わいでした。独創的なメニューでありながら、その完成度の高さに驚かされました。 ​全体を通して、どの料理も素材の良さが際立っており、職人さんの丁寧な仕事ぶりが光っていました。 特に、大将が自ら厳選した魚介や、高知の郷土料理の数々は、ここでしか味わえない格別の美味しさです。 ​メニューが豊富なので、何度訪れても新しい発見があり、飽きることがありません。 ただ、その日の水揚げで食べられないメニューも多いです。それも普段から新鮮さを大切にされている証拠だと思います。 ​土佐清水という場所で、これだけのクオリティの料理と温かいおもてなしを堪能できるのは、非常に価値のある体験でした。

(Translated by Google) My husband took great care of me, and when I met the general for the first time in a long time, I asked him if there were any seats available, even though I knew it was a bit of a stretch, and he gave me an OK 👌, which made me very happy. ``Hozaki'' has a rich menu. Anyway, it's delicious ♡ Women 👩 The employees are also kind and charming, I love them💖 ̖́- (Original) 夫がたいへんお世話になっており、久しぶりに大将に会い、無理を承知で席が空いてないかを尋ねたらOK👌を頂戴できて、たいへん嬉しく思いました。 ｢ほざき｣はメニューも豊富です。 とにかく美味しい♡ 女性👩 従業員さんも優しくて愛嬌もあり大好きです💖 ̖́-‬

(Translated by Google) I was taken here by a friend for the first time, and the food was delicious and went down well with the alcohol. It seems to be a popular restaurant, and was full of customers on the day, so luckily my friend had made a reservation, and although the staff seemed busy, they responded quickly and it was a satisfying dinner. There were also fish that I wanted to try, but since they were from the sea and I accepted that it couldn't be helped if there was no fishing, I wasn't bothered. Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m (Original) 友人に連れられ初めてお伺いしましたが料理も美味しくてお酒が進みました。 人気店みたいで当日はお客さんがいっぱいで友人が予約していて助かりましたが、従業員さんも忙しそうにバタバタしていましたがそれなりに対応も早く満足の夕食でした。 また食べてみたい魚が無かったりしましたが、海の物であり漁が無ければ仕方ないことと割り切っていたので困惑することもありませんでした。 ご馳走さまでしたm(_ _)m

(Translated by Google) I happened to come across this restaurant while touring around 10am and decided to stop in. I took a double take as I was surprised to see an okonomiyaki restaurant open at this time in the morning, then made a U-turn. The menu includes okonomiyaki, perayaki, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, and yakisoba yakiudon. The prices are also cheap for today, which is a relief. I ordered a mix of okonomiyaki. The okonomiyaki was cooked well and just the way I like it, so it was delicious. The proprietress was friendly and I was able to eat in a comfortable atmosphere. Next time I'll go for Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki or perayaki. (Original) 10時前後にツーリング途中偶然見かけて入店。午前中のこんな時間にお好み焼き屋さんが営業中だったので思わず2度見してUターン。 お好み焼き、ぺら焼き、広島風お好み焼き、焼きそば焼きうどんのメニュー。価格も今どきにしては安くて助かる。お好み焼きのミックスを注文。しっかり焼いてくれているお好み焼きでとても好みの焼き方で美味しい。店の女将さんも気さくに話しかけてもらいとで雰囲気良く居心地良く食事が出来ました。 次は広島風お好み焼きかぺら焼きを食べに行きます。

(Translated by Google) The restaurant was bright and clean. The Hiroshima-style ramen was beautifully prepared and brought to us, and it was delicious. The prices were also very reasonable, so if I lived nearby I'd go there often (lol) (Original) 店内も明るく清潔感ありました。 きれいに仕上げて持ってきてくれる広島風、大変美味しくいただきました。 お値段もとてもリーズナブルで、近所なら通うレベル(笑)

(Translated by Google) It was my first time eating Perayaki. It's chewy and filled with lots of chikuwa and green onions. They cook it for you so there's no way to go wrong! I recommend the sweet sauce. In this day and age, the most expensive item is 650 yen, with the average price being around 500 yen. It's so cheap that I feel like it doesn't need to be that cheap, but I guess locals spend their money on alcohol... (Original) 初めてぺら焼きを食べました。 モチモチでチクワとネギが大量に入ってます。 焼いてくれるので失敗する可能性なし！ ソースは甘いソースがオススメ。 このご時世に一番高いメニューで650円、平均500円ほどの価格設定。そんなに安くしなくてもと思うくらいで安いけど地元民はお金はお酒飲むのに安く済むのだろうな、、、

(Translated by Google) Clean environment, cheap food, good food, and friendly owner (Original) 環境整潔 食物便宜 好食 老闆很熱情

(Translated by Google) The service was prompt and efficient, and the food was delicious. (Original) てきぱきした接客で気持ちよかったです。味もばっちり。

(Translated by Google) Prices have increased slightly depending on the product since 2025. However, they are still very reasonable. They also offer delivery, so it's best to come with plenty of time. If you come around 11am, you can get a seat right away. (Original) 2025年から価格が商品によって、少し値上がりしています。それでも良心的な価格です。 デリバリーもしているお店なので、時間には余裕をもっていった方がいいと思います。11時くらい入店だったら、すぐに座れます。

(Translated by Google) I had the shrimp okonomiyaki. The plump shrimp was delicious. The okonomiyaki was reasonably priced and the portions were decent. The owner was a warm person who seemed like a local. However, there weren't many plump shrimp and a dog barked out of the back door of the kitchen (which is usually closed?). The owner let the dog in right away so I think it was fine, but I was a little worried about hygiene.😅 (Original) 私はお好み焼きのエビをいただきました。 ぷりっぷりなエビが美味しかったです。 お好み焼きはリーズナブルで量もそれなりあって 店主さんは地元の方って感じの温かい人でした。 ただ、ぷりっぷりなエビが少なかったのと 厨房の奥の扉(普段は閉めている？)から ワンちゃんが吠えて出てきました。 店主さんもすぐにワンちゃんを入れていたので大丈夫だとは思いますが、少しだけ衛生的に心配になりました😅

空港管制官,Air Traffic Control(ATC) tower staff is sooooo nice,so kind,very cheerful,professional and clear to understand. especially for private jet pilots or private helicopter pilots, we often experience difficulty to repeat ATC phrase because of too fast speaking w uncleared voice. unlike other airports' ATC, Kouchi Airport ATC is the best. as for the airport terminal, not so many shops or res though, easy to walk around.

There is a sign on the piller,, but I did not see it. The desk clerk was great and directed me to the check-in counter.

It's not as lively as other international airports with malls and all that, but Kochi Ryoma Airport serves its purpose. It has enough restaurants and omiyage stores, many seats available to rest on, and of course clean and comfortable automatic bathrooms. Also, there are displays for Kochi's popular places where you can take photos and make you feel like you've already toured the place.

Pleasant journey, thank you Kochi Airport.

Small, mostly domestic airport serving south west Shikoku Island. Most of the flights are in and out Tokyo and Osaka, with a few others to places such as Nagoya. Good thing is that don't need to allow very much time to get from curbside to gate.

Small airport in Kochi City. You can access the city from a bus right outside the airport.

Usually not too busy. It is very near to the Faculty of Agriculture and Marine Science of Kochi University, about 5 minutes by walk. It will take about 30 minutes to reach in the Kochi city from here. Bus is available to go Kochi city and it costs about 700 yen. There are not any convenient store or super shop available at least 5 km around the airport. Please buy your necesssy snacks or drinks from the airport. There are no international flights from here. Flights in all prefectures of Japan is available, it is quite difficult to contact by English.
