Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

At the eastern edge of Kochi, Toyo pairs the surf at Ikumi with the seaside around Shirahama. Watch the coast, then explore local produce at the roadside station. Swimming and surfing use different areas; check local signs and sea conditions first.

This guide covers places within Toyo, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
