Local Supporter FAQ

What are your recommended spots in the Kochi area?: This is Katsurahama Park. Beyond just walking along the sandy beach and gazing at the beautiful sea and sky, it is a place where you can enjoy a variety of things, including the Ryuo Cape power spot with its two shrines, the Ryoma Statue, Katsurahama Aquarium, and the Umi no Terrace.
The Umi no Terrace features restaurants and souvenir shops where you can eat seared bonito (katsuo no tataki) and ice crin, as well as purchase Kochi-produced goods and local sake.
With plenty of space to relax freely, you can take your time while enjoying your sightseeing.

Please secretly tell us some hidden gems that only a local would know.: This is "NICO CAFE," a donut shop that offers both takeout and eat-in options.
The donut dough is made with eggs and milk from Kochi Prefecture, giving it a light texture that makes you want to eat one after another. I especially cannot forget the deliciousness and excitement I felt when I first ate their yuzu donut, to the point where I now time my visits to the shop specifically for when they are on the menu! I also recommend their fresh donuts filled with whipped cream.

What is a trip that remains in your memory?: I first went to Disney with friends for our college graduation trip. I had always liked Disney, but I never really had the chance to visit, and I remember how every view and space I saw felt like pure happiness. Since I started working, I have made it a point to go to Disney at least three times a year as a reward to myself to recharge my happiness. It is a place of memories that is also linked to my current work motivation.

How do you spend your days off?: On my days off, I like to do nothing and spend time relaxing at home. I go to the supermarket to buy groceries and prepare meals for my bento boxes in advance. Sometimes I take my camera out to take photos or bring a book to go read somewhere, but home is where I feel most at ease.

Is there anything you always bring with you when you travel?: I bring a book with me. I usually don't have enough time, so the books I want to read just keep piling up. I make sure to read them during my travels, whether on the plane, on the train, or while spending time relaxing at the hotel.
