Saijo City (※Kihoku Town / ※Susaki City), located in the central part of Kochi Prefecture, embraces the beautiful rias coastline of Susaki Bay and is a lively coastal port town surrounded by rich fishing grounds and magnificent mountains. Walking the town reveals a pleasant scent of tide drifting alongside idyllic fishing village landscapes expanding throughout. The premier gourmet specialty of Susaki is the nationwide famous "Nabeyaki Ramen," whose exquisite flavors of rich soy-sauce based soup served hot inside clay pots alongside thin noodles completely captivate international noodle fans. Furthermore, the pure Shinto River (Shinjo River)—where the Japanese river otter was last sighted—flows through, with marine activities such as sea kayaking and SUP being highly substantial along its beautiful coastline. It is a city where you can simultaneously enjoy ocean blessings and unique local culture.
