Visit the Akatsuchi Pass in Sakawa, Kochi Prefecture, where Tosa clan patriots, including Tadayasu Hamada (later Mitsuaki Tanaka), gathered in 1864 before leaving their clan. A stone monument marks the historic site where these five men embarked on their journey to Choshu, overcoming challenging terrain. The site is located near the Akatsuchi Tunnel on National Route 33, accessible by a 10-minute car ride or a 30-minute walk from JR Nishi-Sakawa Station. It's a place where you can feel the strong will and history of these patriots.
