Konan City, located in the mid-eastern part of Kochi Prefecture overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is a lively city where warm southern climates and beautiful seas, mountains, and rivers are all compactly gathered. Marine sports are thriving along the coastline where the rich Kuroshio Current crashes, while idyllic rural landscapes expand along the Monobe River and the untouched nature of Mt. Sanbo. It also houses "Ekingura," which exhibits numerous shocking folding screen paintings by Ekin, a genius artist of the Edo period, allowing visitors to touch an eerie yet beautiful artistic culture expressing traditional Japanese ghost stories and history. Being a treasure trove of gastronomy featuring specialty juicy Yamakita mikan citrus fruits and fresh dorome (raw whitebait), it is an area where you can casually experience deep Tosa charms while enjoying cycling.
