Sukumo to Cape Ashizuri
  • To get to Cape Ashizuri from Sukumo you can easily reach by Kochi Seinan Kotsu Bus departing at 8:00 a.m. bound for Shimizu Plaza Pal.
  • I suggest staying in Nakamura station area than Sukumo station area because public transportation is more frequent intervals. For more information, please visit Shimanto City Tourism Association. My friend recommends to stay at Nagomiyado Anjuan.
    In addition, Kochi Seinan Kotsu provides Nakamura Machi Bus (available within Nakamura downtown area and daytime only, 200JPY, booking call to 0880-34-1269) as demand responsive transport.
