Kochi Roads of Shikoku

Trail to Kashinishi Coast

This 9.8 km route starts at Kashinoura and extends to Urajiri, offering two paths: a shorter mountain route and a coastal route, allowing visitors to enjoy both the sea and the mountains. Along the way, Kashinishi Coast, designated as a marine park, is a popular diving spot where visitors can admire stunning coral reefs up close. In the summer, the area bustles with beachgoers and campers. Offshore, Benten Island, shaped by wave erosion, is famous for its sea caves and serves as a striking local landmark.
