2025 Susaki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

📍Kuwatayama Roughly halfway up Banjamori, the "Yukiwari Sakura" (snow-breaking cherry tree) blooms, famous for its beautiful deep pink flowers. Its official name is "Tsubakikanzakura" (camellia winter cherry tree). This cherry tree is very rare, blooming during the cold season when snow still remains, from mid-February to mid-March, and there are nearly 1,000 of them in the entire Kuwatayama area. Although it is called "Yukiwari Sakura" locally, its official name is "Tsubakikanzakura" (camellia winter cherry tree), and it is believed to be a hybrid of Shinamizakura and Kanzakura or Kanhizakura. It is said that it was grafted onto a rootstock given to it by Matsuyama City about 70 years ago. #0yentravelFebruary2025

#FreeHotelStay #Kochi #DomesticTravel About 40 minutes by car from the tourist spot, Kurei Taishocho Market, we next visited Otonashi Shrine, which has a lovely name⛩️ It is also known as "Tosa's Miyajima" because the shrine and approach, which are important cultural properties, are built facing the sea, and it seems to be the most powerful spot in Kochi👀✨ It was very windy because it was right next to the sea, but the dignified silence combined with the solemn atmosphere really got to me~☺️🫧 3579 Otonashi, Uranouchi Higashibun, Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture 785-0163

DAY 16: Today's cycling journey can be said to be over mountains and across rivers. The weather was gloomy. I kept praying to Kobo Daishi to protect me from rain. After leaving the city of Kochi, we drove along National Highway 56 towards Shimanto City. This journey of more than 100 kilometers was like riding on the Northern Yi Highway. The title of "Kochi Training Center" is well deserved. Along the way, I also saw several hiking pilgrims. Although it seemed that I was only accompanied by my own shadow, I never felt lonely during the hiking journey because there were two of us walking together. I admired them from the bottom of my heart. At the end of today's trip, I was able to complete the only two single-day rides of over 100 kilometers in the Shikoku Pilgrimage.

#familytrips2024 It's a spectacular view. You can see the Pacific Ocean. There are a lot of winding roads to get there, and it seems like a lot of local young people come here to run. From the parking lot you get a great view of the ocean. Also the drive to here as you head towards Shoryu-ji (#36) is really stunning on a nice sunny day. One of Kochi Prefecture's bike touring spots. The view from the parking lot is good, but the view from the observation deck is also the best. The sea view on a sunny day will soothe you.
