During my visit, I had the opportunity to climb up and get a closer look at the Sakamoto Ryoma statue for only 100 yen. Although the climb was somewhat unstable, it was well worth it as it provided a fantastic view of the sea from the top. Overall, it was a great experience.

月の名所として有名な高知県桂浜、ここには坂本龍馬の銅像が太平洋を望んで立っています。 坂本龍馬は司馬遼太郎氏の小説「竜馬がゆく」の主人公とされて以来、国民的人気を誇り、現在も年間100万人以上の方が龍馬像に会いに来ていると言われています。 1928年（昭和3年）に建立された坂本龍馬の銅像は、高さ8mの台座の上に立っており、この地を訪れた龍馬ファンはその堂々たる龍馬像を見上げ、「龍馬に会えた」という感動を覚えます。 (Translated by Google) Katsurahama, Kochi Prefecture, famous for its moonscape, has a bronze statue of Ryoma Sakamoto facing the Pacific Ocean. Since Ryoma Sakamoto was the main character in Ryotaro Shiba's novel "Ryoma ga Yuku", he has been a national favorite. The bronze statue of Ryoma Sakamoto, erected in 1928 (Showa 3), stands on a pedestal with a height of 8m. I remember the impression.

Must visit venue! Katsurahama!! Compact but amazing sights to walk around. Easy and quick by rent-a-car.

One of the most scenic sites on my list. absolute pure joy.

It’s so big, but too large to to take a picture all at once😅

2022年10月日本一周中に訪問🏍️ 近くの無料キャンプ場から橋を渡り歩いて訪問🚶‍♂️ (けっこう時間かかりました😅) やっぱり高知といったら龍馬 龍馬と言ったら桂浜でしょ‼️ というわけで観光しました←おのぼりさん 坂本龍馬像は思ったよりも大きくて見ごたえがありました😃 せっかくなので龍馬ポーズで観光客のおっちゃんに頼んで写真を撮ってもらいました✌️ 100円課金すれば足場のような塔を登り近くで拝むことができるらしい だが、100円の価値があるとはと思えなかったので今回はパスしました 例えるならば、富士山は登るんじゃなくて眺めるものと同じ精神ですね(分かりにくい？) (Translated by Google) Visited around Japan in October 2022🏍️ Walk across the bridge from a nearby free campsite and visit🚶‍♂️ (It took quite some time 😅) After all, when you think of Kochi, you think of Ryoma. If you say Ryoma, it's Katsurahama! ️ So I went sightseeing ← Mr. Onobori The statue of Ryoma Sakamoto was bigger than I expected and was worth seeing. Since it's a big deal, I asked a tourist's old man to take a picture in Ryoma's pose ✌️ If you pay 100 yen, you can climb the scaffold-like tower and worship nearby. However, I didn't think it was worth 100 yen, so I passed it this time. For example, Mt. Fuji is the same spirit as what you see instead of climbing it (difficult to understand?)

On March 27, 2023, my wife and I drove here to see the Statue. Apart from its elevation, the Statue isn’t big. We were disappointed. Anyhow, I captured a cinematic moment.

Wow big statues here

Kochi Prefecture in Japan is famous for a samurai namely Sakamoto Ryoma. He was the most influencial and popular historical figure in Japan. Throughout the Kochi Prefecture you can find a numbers of statues of him. Sakamoto Ryoma Statue in Katsurahama is the biggest one.

Ryoma-sama's statue at Katsurahama is hugeeee! And it is also surrounded with flowers. There are lots of tourist who wants to take turns for a photo, unfortunately it rained when we came but of course we still made sure to take a photo. (Will add photos soon)

If you know Ryoma, or are interested in this samurai, you must visit this place along with the museum nearby. The samurai who played a quite an important roll in Japan's history used to look at the pacific ocean and think about the future of the world and Japan.

Most famous place in Shikoku. Sakamoto Ruoma is most important people during the last Edo period.

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.

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

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for a break and was told that I could eat straw-grilled bonito! I ate it! The performance was amazing as they grilled it right in front of me! That's what it is! The finish is also very nice. It is good manners to eat it with salt. I want Kochi's bonito to be eaten with salt instead of ponzu sauce. It was really delicious! ! (Original) 休憩に立ち寄ったのですが、カツオの藁焼きが食べられるということで！食べてしまいました～！目の前で藁で炙ってくださって、パフォーマンスが凄い！といったところです！ 仕上がりもとてもいい。 やはり塩で食べるのがマナーでしょう。 高知のカツオはポン酢じゃなくて塩で食べて欲しい。本当においしかったです！！

(Translated by Google) A roadside station in Susaki City. There are many souvenirs, but some vegetables are also for sale. Depending on the time, there is a bonito searing demonstration in the back. You can eat it on the spot. (Original) 須崎市にある道の駅。 土産物が多いですが、一部野菜も販売しています。 奥のほうで時間によってはカツオのタタキ実演もやっていて その場で食べられます。

(Translated by Google) This is a roadside station where you can experience straw-grilled bonito. The bonito is grilled on the spot, and you can immediately enjoy the seared bonito. There was no rice provided, so I had it with the takikomi rice sold at JA next door. You can bring your own! Any leftovers can be packed up. I went alone, but the store staff took photos and videos for me. (Original) カツオのわら焼き体験ができる道の駅です。 その場で焼かせてもらい、すぐにたたきのカツオを頂けます。 ご飯類の提供はないので、隣のJAさんで売っている炊き込みご飯と一緒に頂きました。持ち込みOK！ 余った分はパック詰めをしてもらえます。 一人で行ったのですが店員さんが写真や動画を撮ってくれました。

(Translated by Google) For 1,750 yen plus 300 yen for half a bonito, you can experience grilling the bonito using straw. The fresh bonito had the aroma and flavor of straw, and even my son, who doesn't usually eat seared bonito, thought it was delicious. I gave it a 4 star because it was difficult to find a place to eat when it was crowded. You can also take it home. (Original) 鰹半身1,750円に＋300円で鰹の藁焼き体験ができます。 新鮮な鰹に藁の香りと風味、普段は鰹のタタキを食べない息子も美味しいと食べてました。 混雑時は食べる場所確保が難しかったので★4にしました。 持ち帰りもOKです。

(Translated by Google) Whenever I visit Susaki and want to eat nabeyaki ramen, I always stop by. There are plenty of souvenirs available, and you can also eat nabeyaki ramen at the Toretei restaurant on the 2nd floor. And you can't miss Kochi's famous ice cream 🍨 Even though it's refreshing, it's still full of flavor! It's very delicious😋 (Original) 鍋焼きラーメンが食べたくて須崎を訪れた際は必ず立ち寄ります。 お土産は充実していますし、2Fのレストラン とれた亭では鍋焼きラーメンも食べることができます。 そして、外せないのが高知名物アイスクリン🍨サッパリしていても味はしっかり！とても美味しいです😋

(Translated by Google) I work nearby and use this place for lunch and breaks. We had a set menu of nabeyaki ramen and Tosadon at the restaurant on the second floor. The seared bonito set meal seems to be a holiday-only menu, so unfortunately I wasn't able to try it. The souvenir shop on the first floor has a wide selection of products. (Original) 近くで仕事があり、昼食と休憩に利用。 ２階レストランにて鍋焼きラーメンと土佐丼のセットメニューをいただきました。鰹のたたき定食は休日限定メニューのようで、残念ながら食べられず。 １階お土産売店は品揃えが豊富です。

(Translated by Google) This is a roadside station where you can admire life-sized Nanachi and eat bonito so delicious that you won't be able to go back. The restaurant opens from 10am, but you can eat bonito at Tada Suisan inside the roadside station from 9am. We also have a wide selection of Shinjo-kun goods and Kochi sake. (Original) 等身大ナナチを拝めて、後戻りできない程うまいカツオを食べらる道の駅です。 レストランは10時からですが、道の駅内の多田水産さんは9時からカツオ食べることができます。 しんじょう君グッズや高知の日本酒も豊富に揃えられています。

(Translated by Google) This is the ruins of the Tosa domain's coastal fortress, which is now a park. The stone wall remains relatively beautiful. (Original) 現在は公園となっている、土佐藩の海防要塞跡です。 石垣が割と綺麗に残っています。

(Translated by Google) It's said to be the remains of a gun battery, but it's hard to imagine. It's also a pity that there is no parking lot. (Original) 砲台跡とのことですが、なかなか想像しづらいです😅　駐車場がないのも残念です。

(Translated by Google) This is the remains of the Tosa clan's battery. There are no cannons. (Original) 土佐藩の砲台跡です。大砲はありません。

(Translated by Google) It is also a place that symbolizes Susaki at the end of the Edo period, and I think it is the pride of Susaki. (Original) 幕末の須崎を象徴する場所でもあり、須崎の誇りではないかと思うからです。

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 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。

(Translated by Google) It was a calm day with no wind, but I lost a lot of balls and confidence in the narrow spaces (lol) (Original) 当日は風がなく穏やかな1日でしたが、狭くボールと自信をたくさん無くしました（笑）

(Translated by Google) It's tricky, narrow, and has many ups and downs. That's why it's such an interesting golf course. There are many local people. (Original) トリッキーで狭く、アップダウンが多いです。だから面白いゴルフ場です。地元の方が多いです。

(Translated by Google) There is a rumor on the street that it is easier to get the best OB in Japan, but I personally think it is easier to get a good score if you attack with controlled shots. It's an easy course because it's not long. However, when the wind is strong, a nice shot may become OB. (Original) 日本一OBが出やすいと巷の噂ですが、自分的にはコントロールショットで攻めれば良いスコアになりやすと思います。 距離が無い分、楽なコースです。 ただ、風の強い時はナイスショットがOBになる時もあります。

(Translated by Google) A course where balls often disappear. Small but interesting. (Original) 玉がよく無くなるコース。狭いけどおもしろい。

(Translated by Google) This is a limited express stop on the JR Dosan Line. There is an island-style one-sided, two-track platform on a slightly elevated site adjacent to the downtown area of ​​Kure, which flourished as a port town. It is a major station on the Dosan Line, where limited express trains and sightseeing trains also stop, but it is unmanned and gives a quiet impression. Kure Taishocho Market, a famous tourist destination, is within walking distance. (Original) JR土讃線の特急停車駅です。 港町として栄えた久礼の市街地に隣接した小高い場所に、島式1面2線のホームがあります。特急や観光列車も停車する土讃線の主要駅ですが、無人化しており閑散とした印象です。観光地として有名な久礼大正町市場は徒歩圏内にあります。

(Translated by Google) Get off at the nearest station to Kure Taishocho Market. Although the station was a limited express stop, there was no station staff, so I boarded the limited express bound for Kochi. (Original) 久礼大正町市場の最寄り駅のため下車。 特急停車駅であるが駅員不在のため高知行き特急にそのまま乗車しました。

(Translated by Google) I visited you on a bicycle pilgrimage. Limited express trains also stop at this Dosan Line station. What I think of when I think of Tosakure Station is the manga ``Tosa no Ipponri.'' This is the scene where Junpei, the main character, meets Yachiyo, who is wearing a sailor suit. Yachiyo was a beautiful woman. (Original) 自転車遍路でお邪魔しました。 土讃線の駅で、特急も停車します。 土佐久礼駅で僕が思い浮かべるのは、漫画「土佐の一本釣り」です。 主人公の純平とセーラー服姿の八千代が出会うシーンですね。 八千代は美人さんでしたね。

(Translated by Google) JR Shikoku Station. Directly managed station staffing has been abolished and the station is now unstaffed. A simple outsourced station where counter operations are performed by a subcontractor only on weekday mornings. All trains, including express trains, stop here. The wooden station building is atmospheric. There is also a free parking lot in front of the station. (Original) JR四国の駅。直営の駅員の配置は廃止され無人駅。平日の午前中だけ窓口業務が委託先により行われる簡易委託駅。特急以下すべての列車が停車する。木造の駅舎が風情がある。駅前には無料の駐車場もある。
