Sukumo City, located at the southwestern tip of Kochi Prefecture and serving as a maritime gateway leading to Oita Prefecture and Kyushu, is an idyllic and lively coastal city surrounded by rich Sukumo Bay blessings and beautiful mountains. Sukumo Bay boasts an incredibly diverse marine ecosystem praised as a fish cradle, drawing international active anglers and divers as a premier sacred spot for fishing and diving in Japan. Furthermore, the beauty of the "Daruma Sunset," a mystical spectacular natural phenomenon seen in early winter mornings where the setting sun distorts into a shape like a daruma doll, is breathtakingly romantic. Retaining areas where traditional old streetscapes line the town center, alongside historical legacies like "Enko-ji Temple"—the 39th temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, it stands packed with exquisite gastronomy like fresh kibinago (silver stripe herring) to deeply heal your soul.
