Ryoma Rekishi-kan (Historical Museum)
26 historically famous scenes of Ryoma Sakamoto's life -- from
his birth until his death by assassination along with Shintaro
Nakaoka, his sworn friend, in Kyoto -- are depicted by 150
wax dolls. Each doll is so realistic it seems as if he or she is
about to speak to you. You can enjoy time travel to the
closing days of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Whale Watching
Whale Watching
Okata-cho, famous as a town for whale watching, is about a 2.5-hour
drive along National Road 56 from Kochi City. On a small pleasure fishing boat
you can enjoy watching several 13-meter-long nitari whales swimming
about 1 to 2 kilometers from the shore.
The best season for whale watching is from April to October.
Especially on fair days during April, May, July, and August,
you have a better than 80% probability of seeing whales.
> From Kochi Station take the Tosa Kuroshio Railway for 2 hours
to Tosa Irino Station. It's another 5 to 10 minutes by cab
to each of the four harbors to catch whale-watching boats.
