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

Ugurushima Island is located off the coast of Sukumo City, Kochi Prefecture. It is a hidden island that can only be reached by regular ferry from the mainland, and is known only to those in the know. 🛥️ There are no traffic lights or convenience stores on the island. But instead, you will find incredibly clear waters and relaxed island time. It is also known as a great place for fishing and diving lovers, and colorful fish and coral are right there. 🪸🐠 The village is very small, and the people on the island are surprisingly friendly. Just by stepping off the harbor, you will be enveloped in a warm feeling that makes you feel like you have "come home." You can experience a **"trip that feels like you are part of daily life"** that you cannot experience in tourist spots. We spent the whole time spearfishing and boat fishing. 🎣 We even caught a bonito! ! It was really, really delicious, and it was an unforgettable trip. There is nothing, but there is everything. I would recommend this island to those who are looking for such a trip, as a detox island for the mind.

The monks immediately donated it to the temple and changed the mountain name and temple name to "Akagameyama Enkoji" (^ ^) [Location] 390 Nakayama, Hirata-cho, Sukumo-shi, Kochi Prefecture [Access] Bus stop Terayamaguchi / 13 minutes walk from Kochi Southwestern Transportation Bus stop Higashi Oshinogawa / 19 minutes walk from Kochi Southwestern Transportation Bus stop Terao / 19 minutes walk from Kochi Southwestern Transportation #0 yen trip January 2025
