Tosa Town, located in the central part of Shikoku within the Reihoku region, is a nature-rich mountain town surrounded by the magnificent Shikoku Mountains, where the beautiful waterscapes of the giant "Lake Sameura" (Sameura Dam)—boasting the largest water storage in western Japan—expand. Located upstream of the Yoshino River, original landscapes of traditional Japanese agriculture are still carefully protected today, such as the beautiful "Aikawa Terraced Fields" utilizing pure water nurtured by rich forests. Furthermore, gastronomic charms are fully packed, featuring the branded "Tosa Akaushi" beef raised with this pure water and crisp air, and long-established breweries crafting the premium sake "Keigetsu." It is an ideal relaxation area for nature-loving international travelers wanting to completely forget city hustle and leisurely enjoy canoeing, SUP, and rustic Satoyama seasons along the grand lakeside.
