What To Expect
Katsurahama Beach
Katsurahama is one of Kochi’s most famous scenic spots, known for its sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and its strong waves that make swimming unsafe but create a dramatic coastline. It is also home to the iconic statue of Sakamoto Ryoma, a legendary samurai and reformer of the late Edo period, making it a popular place to enjoy both natural beauty and history.
Ryoma Sakamoto Bronze Statue
Standing proudly at Katsurahama Beach, this bronze statue honors Sakamoto Ryoma, a visionary samurai and key figure in Japan’s Meiji Restoration. Facing the Pacific Ocean, the statue symbolizes his forward-looking spirit and remains one of Kochi’s most iconic landmarks, attracting many visitors who come to pay tribute and take photos.
