Katsurahama Beach
©AFLO
A place of scenic beauty symbolic of Kochi. The coastline curves out in to the distance.The thick green pine trees in the background together with the multi-colored pebbles on the shore and the azure blue sea, create a harmony like that of a miniature garden.
It is well-known as an excellent place for moon gazing since the old days.
The cape,on the eastern side of the beach, has a bronze statue of Sakamoto Ryoma, a patriot in the closing days of the Shogunate, looking down over the Pacific Ocean. The Katsurahama Aquarium and the Sakamoto Ryoma Memorial Museum are also located here.
