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

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.

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.

Too far!! But Unspeakable beauty.

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

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.

Panoramic view at the viewpoint. There is a trekking trail to the lighthouse. Convenient free parking.

It's a good stop to stretch your leg after a long journey

The food in the restaurant here is really good, and as much as possible is made with local ingredients. The service is also incredibly fast, which makes it a great spot for a work lunch. The menu has pictures for everything, so this is a great place to go even if you don't speak much Japanese.

It's a typical rest station... There's a toilet, snacks and souvenirs (among other things).

It's got everything you need, It's got a functioning toilet 👍🏾

Really good ice cream!!

Just a good place for rest

(Translated by Google) It's a pretty interesting roadside station. There was a corner with figurines on display, and I think it was Kaiyodo, a famous workshop. Is it near here? They also sold steamed buns made with Manchuken's famous janmen noodles. I didn't eat it because I'm going to Manchuken, but it looks pretty good. (Original) かなり面白い道の駅です。 フィギュアが飾ってあるコーナーがあり、海洋堂だったと思いますが有名な工房ですよね。この近くにあるのかな？ あと満洲軒の有名なジャン麺を具にした肉まんを売っていました。 これから満洲軒に行くので食べませんでしたが、なかなか良いですね。

Tiny little hobby museum, rare location, not recommended if you are not fans

A great museum, no english but that's okay. There's a lot to see!

A fascinating little museum with movie props and collectibles.

So cool Museum of Kappa!!!

Fun and interesting

(Translated by Google) I heard about it at a roadside station on New Year's Day and decided to go there. I asked the receptionist why it was in this location and the mystery was solved. I asked an older person to explain it to me in detail. thank you very much. Apparently the founder's father is from this area. The current president is Kuroshio Town. I also received flyers for Kaiyodo Hobby Centers throughout Kansai, so I plan to go to all of them. I think everyone from children to adults will have a lot of fun as there are some nostalgic things. It was nice to see Eva's scenes recreated with figures. Kaiyodo's models are truly exquisite and can be enjoyed just by looking at them. Wow lol There's so much more than just anime and figures. There's also an introduction to the creator, so hey. death. I was impressed by the amazing technology. I was disappointed that Kaiyodo Kappakan was closed, but I'm looking forward to coming back again. I also went to Umanosuke Shrine, which I heard about at the reception, but it's better not to take a regular car (it's more impossible than not). I went there because I really like roads. (Compact car 4WD) When you enter the museum, you can get coins from the rattle at the entrance. You can also buy gacha gacha with cash at the museum shop. There is also a currency exchange machine which is convenient. Normally, my partner would get mad if I did it while I was going to the bathroom, but this time I was able to do it without any hesitation. I tried it twice and was able to stop it... but that's a shame. I bought some stickers, but I would like them to make kanji stickers as well. I sometimes see Tamiya stickers on cars and motorcycles, but I'd like to put one with Kaiyodo's kanji on it. I would definitely buy it if it were available. Thank you very much. If you like it, it will take some time to tour, and since it is located deep in the mountains, I think it would be a good idea to pack some sweets in your car. It was convenient to be able to use various types of electronic money for admission fees. It was good. (Original) お正月に道の駅で知って絶対に行くと決めて来ました。 なぜこの場所なのか受付で聞いて謎が解けました。年配の方で詳しく教えてもらいました。ありがとうございました。 創業者の父親がこの地の出身だそうです。現社長は黒潮町。 関西各地にある海洋堂ホビー館のチラシも貰えたので全部行くつもりです。 子供から大人まで懐かしいものもあるのでとても楽しめると思います。エヴァの場面がフィギュアで再現されてたり良かったです。 海洋堂のモデルは本当に精密精巧で見てるだけで楽しめます。 わぁーってなりますw アニメやフィギュアだけでなくほんとに色々あります。 制作者の紹介もあるのでへぇー。デス。すごい技術だなと感心しました。 海洋堂カッパ館が休館してたので残念でしたがもう一度来れるので楽しみにします。 受付で聞いた馬之助神社にも行っきましたが普通車では絶対やめた方(やめた方とゆーより無理。)が良いですヨ。ワタスは酷道好きなので行きましたが。(コンパクトカーの四駆) 入館すると入口の所にあるガチャガチャのコインが貰えます。 ミュージアムショップにも現金でガチャガチャができます。両替機もあって便利。 普段ガチャガチャすると相方に怒られるのでトイレ行ってる隙にやるのですが今回は堂々とできました。2回やって止められましたが…残念。 ステッカーも買いましたが漢字のステッカーも作って欲しいです。 たまに車やバイクにタミヤのステッカー貼ってるの見ますが、海洋堂の漢字のやつ貼りたいです。 あったら絶対買う。 よろくお願いします。 好きな人は見学に時間がかかるので場所的山奥なのでお菓子など車に積んでおくと良いと思います。 入場料に電子マネー各種使えました便利。良かったです。

(Translated by Google) HOBBY building in the mountains. Although you will inevitably have to go by car, there is a large parking lot in front of the building, and you can enter the building immediately after getting off your car. The inside was filled with figurines that gave a sense of Kaiyodo's history, and I was able to forget the time and have fun. The store has a wide selection of products, and I think it's a fun place to visit no matter how many times you visit. (Original) 山の中にあるHOBBY館。 必然的に車で行くことになりますが、建物の前に広い駐車場があり、車を降りてすぐに建物に入る事ができます。 中は海洋堂の歴史を感じられるフィギュアで埋め尽くされ、時間を忘れて楽しむ事ができましした。 売店の品揃えも充実していますし、何度訪れても楽しい場所だと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was located as we went further and further into the mountains. There is parking along the road, but there is also a large parking lot at the bottom of the hill. There are a lot of figures, so are there nostalgic characters or the latest ones? There were a lot of characters on display that I didn't understand at all. I think this is an irresistible collection for those who like it. I also saw a car with a license plate outside of Shikoku. Souvenirs range in price from a few hundred yen to tens of thousands of yen. It was fun to see a lot of things. (Original) どんどん山の中に入って行ったところにありました。パーキングは道ぞいにもありますが、坂を下ったところに広い駐車場もあります。たくさんのフィギュアがあるということで、懐かしいキャラや最新？のまったくわからないキャラとかが、いっぱい展示されていました。好きな人はにはたまらないコレクションかと思います。四国外の県外ナンバーの車も見かけました。お土産類は数百円から数万円と様々。色々見れて楽しかったですよ。

四万十町窪川からほど違い札所です。本堂内部の天井には一般から集められた絵画が埋め込まれていて圧巻です。宿坊もあります。 (Translated by Google) It is a temple located quite far from Kubokawa in Shimanto Town. The ceiling inside the main hall is filled with paintings collected from the general public, making it an impressive sight. There is also a guesthouse.

Lovely templed filled with art and even a tuktuk of all things. You can stay the night “shukubo” if you make reservations. Not every day you get to stay at a temple so why not give it a shot? The staff is super friendly and the head priest is a character in the best of ways. Definitely coming back.

Beautiful temple set against the backdrop of a wooded hillside. Lovely acer to the side of the taishidou.

1978年に新築された本堂の天井に画家や一般市民が描いた575枚の天井絵が飾ってあります。 他にもアートな作品があるお寺です。 (Translated by Google) The ceiling of the main hall, which was newly built in 1978, is decorated with 575 ceiling paintings drawn by artists and ordinary citizens. This temple also has other works of art.

You can stay in Iwamotoji Temple and experience "shukubo". It's foreigner friendly and they have all instructions in English. We drove going to this area and parking is not an issue. I also enjoyed just walking around and reflecting a little bit. Follow Instagram: Japan.47prefectures for more adventures and recommendations in Japan

My favourite temple on shikoku I've visited so far for simple reasons, I really likes the random beautiful colours just around the area the English writing around the place was really cool aswell! The people here where also very friendly!

The write up on the internet doesn't do this temple justice. Definitely worth a visit (and don't forget to look up as they've collected hundreds of small paintings from across Japan and decorated the ceiling of the main temple).

Funky art temple on the Shikoku 88. The resident monk showed us around and explained some of the art

People probably see it as a small simple temple, but it was one of my favorites. You get the feeling it is very much part of the community. The paintings on the ceiling are fascinating. The 6am prayers with the monk were like a rock concert as he was so talented at singing and drumming. The shukubo was not the best or the worst, pretty good value for money. Also if you are a Spanish speaker there is a lady there that lived in Latin America for 20 years and loves speaking Spanish.

Probably the most beautiful temple with unusual artwork with the most beautiful story.

こいのぼりの川渡し、四万十川に、こいのぼりが泳いで〜いる感じで思わず立ち寄りました。空もようは…ですが、風の音、香りや川の流れ〜的な優雅さを感じとれました。 (Translated by Google) I couldn't help but stop by the carp streamer crossing, the Shimanto River, where I could see carp streamers swimming. Although the sky was cloudy, I could feel the sound of the wind, the scent, and the elegance of the flowing river.

たくさんの鯉のぼりが空に泳ぐ様は雄大です。 四万十町（窪川）から四万十川沿いの道をしばらく走ります。 個人的にとても好きな道です。 窓を開けて四万十川の風を受けながらドライブするのは気持ちがいいです。 (Translated by Google) The sight of so many carp streamers swimming in the sky is majestic. From Shimanto Town (Kubokawa), we drive along the road along the Shimanto River for a while. It's a path I personally like very much. It feels great to drive with the windows open and feel the breeze from the Shimanto River.

(Translated by Google) I am looking forward to the carp streamer that starts in front of Golden Week every year. The park is spacious with a basketball court. (Original) 毎年GW前から始まるのこいのぼりの川渡しが楽しみです。公園はバスケットコートもあり広々としています。

(Translated by Google) 500 carp streamers hang over the Shimanto River. Powerful sky, spectacular scenery. The colorful carp streamers on the green mountains are soothing. (Original) 500匹のこいのぼりが四万十川にかかる。 迫力満天、圧巻な景色。 緑の山々に、色とりどりのこいのぼり達、癒やされます。

(Translated by Google) Every year from mid-April to mid-May, 500 carp streamers are hung here to cross the river, divided into two lines. The scene is quite spectacular. There is a parking lot next to the park. The park itself is a cement floor with no shade, so you may need to prepare it yourself. Mats and sunshades are provided. There are public toilets and small shops nearby, where you can enjoy the carp streamers up close. (Original) 每年4月中旬至5月中旬會在此掛上500條鯉魚旗渡河，分為兩條線，場面相當壯觀，公園旁有停車場，公園本身為水泥地且無樹蔭遮蔽，可能需要自行準備墊子及遮陽用品，附近有公共廁所及小賣店，可來此近距離欣賞鯉魚旗的景象

雨の中、こいのぼり公園へ行って来ました。 雨の日なりに良かったです。 晴れた日に観たら、こいのぼりが鮮明で美しいと思います。山にかけたロープが思った以上に高かったので、素敵でした。 (Translated by Google) I went to the carp streamer park in the rain. It was nice on a rainy day. If you look at it on a sunny day, the carp streamers will be clear and beautiful. It was wonderful because the rope we hung up the mountain was higher than I expected.

大きいこいのぼりがある公園です🎏 どうやって掛けたのか不思議🤔 とにかく広い公園で、子供たちがかけまわってました。自然の中を泳ぐこいのぼりが美しかったです！ (Translated by Google) It's a park with big carp streamers 🎏 I wonder how you hung it 🤔 Anyway, it was a big park, and kids were running around. The carp streamers swimming in nature were beautiful!

お酒屋さんの駐車場から見させていただきました。 風にたなびいている沢山の鯉のぼりを見て、我が家の使っていない鯉のぼりも揚げてほしくなりました。 (Translated by Google) I watched it from the parking lot of a liquor store. Seeing so many carp streamers waving in the wind, I wanted to fly up the carp streamers that we don't use at home.

圧巻の光景です。たまたま旅行中の通りすがりでしたが、思わず車を停めました。 (Translated by Google) It's an amazing sight. I happened to be passing by while traveling, and I couldn't help but stop my car.

名前の通り鯉のぼり 山から鯉のぼりが大量に吊るされておりなかなかです。 写真に撮るには難しいとは思います。 駐車場は道路から公園内に入ってあるので、道路付近の駐車場と間違えないように注意 (Translated by Google) As the name suggests, carp streamers There are a lot of carp streamers hanging from the mountain, which is quite a sight. I think it's difficult to photograph. The parking lot is located inside the park from the road, so be careful not to confuse it with the parking lot near the road.

青い大空に沢山の鯉のぼり　豪快ですね。　四万十ドラマさんの駐車場にはくれぐれも停めません様に。直ぐ下に専用駐車場有りますよ。23.4.22 (Translated by Google) Lots of carp streamers in the blue sky. It's so exciting. Please do not park in Shimanto Drama's parking lot. There is a private parking lot directly below. 23.4.22
