Sakamoto Ryoma Statue

Overview

Visit the iconic Sakamoto Ryoma Statue in Katsurahama Park, Kochi. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean from Ryuto Cape, this 13.5-meter monument was erected in 1928 thanks to local youth fundraising efforts. It's a must-see for history buffs and offers a great photo opportunity. Consider visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds and parking fees. During special events, you can even ascend a temporary observation deck to see the view from Ryoma's perspective. The statue is accessible via a short walk from the Katsurahama bus stop, though the path involves some uphill slopes and stairs.
