Get in

By train

Kubokawa is the terminus of the JR Dosan Line from Kochi, Takamatsu and Okayama. It is also the starting point of the Tosa Kuroshio private railway, which crosses overland past Cape Ashizuri to Sukumo.

Get around

Kubokawa is small enough to cover on foot.

See

• Most of Kubokawa's few visitors are here to see the nearby Shimanto River (???? Shimant?-gawa), the longest in Shikoku and Japan's last undammed river of any size.

Do

• If just looking at a river seems a little dull, do what the Japanese do and go fishing. With no dams in the way, there are 94 separate species in the river, the most of any Japanese river.

Buy

Eat

The local specialty is katsuo no tataki, bonito quickly grilled under high heat so the surface is cooked but the inside is still raw.

Drink

Sleep

• Iwamotoji Youth Hostel (??????????). Tel. 0880-22-0376, 1 (http://www.jyh.or.jp/english/shikoku/iwamoto/). Almost reason enough to spend the night in town, Iwamotoji is temple number 37 on the 88 Temple Pilgrimage circuit and its pilgrims' lodge doubles as a youth hostel. Run by a friendly bunch of nuns, a night in a classical tatami room inside the temple will cost you ¥3360.

Get out

• Cape Ashizuri, the southernmost point of Shikoku, is several hours down twisty roads from here.
