What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Ashizuri–Uwakai National Park combines Pacific headlands, sheltered Uwa Sea coves and forested valleys in southwestern Shikoku.
Spanning parts of Kochi and Ehime, the park contrasts the exposed shores around Cape Ashizuri with intricate bays and island views farther north. Tatsukushi's sculpted coastal rocks and warm-water marine life add another dimension to its scenery. Coastal viewpoints and inland walks offer different ways to explore.

How do I visit?
Admission
This record covers the whole national park, with multiple areas and access points. Plan a duration for a chosen trail, viewpoint or facility. Opening schedules, charges and reservation requirements vary by route, operator and season; there is no single rule for the entire park.
Know before you go
Choose a coastal viewpoint or inland walk separately from a boat outing, and check weather and local routes. The city's 7 October 2026 notice confirms Cape Ashizuri's main observation deck closed from 2 October at 17:00; use the signed Tengu-no-Hana detour. An early reopening date is not yet announced. Avoid collapsed sections of the Tatsukushi path. The Ashizuri Underwater Observatory ended operations on 30 September 2026, so do not plan a visit there; these restrictions do not close the whole park.
