2025 Tsuno Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

📍Katsura Tea Fields May is the season when Tsuno-cho, the town of tea, shines. It's the season for new tea! The tea fields stand out even more against the fresh greenery. The scenery of the tea being harvested is also very beautiful. Starting from the roadside station Fusegasaka, we take a leisurely tour along the old national highway. We pass through roads with almost no traffic (※We will drive a little bit on the national highway at the end.) so you can feel like you're bathing in the forest and feel relaxed! You can enjoy the scenery of the tea fields that stretch out as far as the eye can see. 📍Manten no Hoshi This is the main store of "Manten no Hoshi" in Tsuno-cho, overlooking the popular Shimanto River. We sell the leftovers from the attached factory as outlet sweets at a discount from the regular price. In addition, on the day of roasting at the factory, the store becomes a relaxing space filled with a fragrant aroma, so please stop by. 📍Yusan Shimanto Seiran no Sato This is a small hotel quietly located facing the upper reaches of the Shimanto River. I was impressed by the minimalist and stylish design of both the interior and exterior. It uses a lot of wood, so it blends in beautifully with the surrounding environment. I could feel the uncompromising attention to detail in the amenities and interior, and it was a very comfortable inn. There was a place where you could enjoy the Shimanto River just a short walk away, and I relaxed with my feet in the river. I could see the Shima River from the balcony of my room and the bath, which was very relaxing🖼✨️

📍Tengu Plateau, Kochi Prefecture The Shikoku Karst spreads along the ridge on the border between Ehime and Kochi prefectures. The view from the highlands at an altitude of 1,000m to 1,500m is spectacular, and Prefectural Route 383 (Shikoku Karst Park Longitudinal Line), which runs across this karst plateau, is a great driving and touring route. A vast grassland dotted with white limestone rocks unique to karst, and the ridges of mountains stretching out in the distance. Let's go on a spectacular drive to enjoy a 360-degree panorama. #0 Yen Trip January 2025

Lake Hakuryu is a hidden spot at the foot of the Shikoku Karst. Kochi Prefecture has many natural spots with beautiful water colors, and this is one of them. It is quite far from Kochi city, so it is a recommended spot for those who are going to Shikoku Karst or Yusuhara Town. The entrance is a little hard to find, but the building next to a big raccoon is the landmark. If you go down from the side, the lake will appear. There are also carp in the lake, which is also nice! There is also food, so you can enjoy feeding them. [Lake Hakuryu] 785-0505 Yoshinoko, Tsuno-cho, Takaoka-gun, Kochi Prefecture #DomesticTravelLogLine#KochiTrip #KochiTourism
