The Ryoma’s Legend TV drama starring Fukuyama Masaharu is a huge hit right now—and his hometown, Kochi Prefecture in southern Shikoku, is actively promoting tourism. On December 16, the Kochi Prefecture Tourism Promotion Division specially held a tourism briefing in Taiwan, hoping Taiwanese people will get to know more about Kochi Prefecture. In addition to Sakamoto Ryoma, the area’s famous local cuisine is also waiting for you to try out.
On December 16, the Kochi Prefecture Tourism Promotion Division specially held a tourism briefing in Taiwan, hoping to help more people discover the beauty of Kochi Prefecture.
When it comes to Kochi Prefecture, many may not be very familiar with it. But thanks to this year’s Japanese drama Ryoma’s Legend, its profile has gradually risen. In fact, Kochi Prefecture has been selected as one of Japan’s top prefectures with the most local delicacies. Bonito is a well-known local seafood, and especially grilled bonito belly, which is a popular dish. Be sure to visit the local markets or restaurants to enjoy it. The Ohashi Street in the area, nicknamed the “Kitchen of Tosa,” is beloved by locals and offers a wealth of seafood and fruits. Fans of Ryoma’s Legend can head to Katsurahama to see the statue of Sakamoto Ryoma or check out the Ryoma History Museum in Kōnan City, where lifelike wax figures are on display.
The Ryoma Birthplace Memorial Hall, resembling a home from the Edo period, focuses on shaping Ryoma’s personality during his childhood and introduces the daily life of ordinary citizens in Kochi City in the mid-19th century.
In addition, the seascapes of Kochi Prefecture are also incredibly beautiful. The Ashizuri Cape and Muroto Cape Lighthouse, famous for their early spring camellia festivals, are also renowned scenic spots. If you enjoy river cruising, you can take a pleasure boat to cruise down the Shimanto River.
