Located in the southernmost part of Shikoku, Tosashimizu City, Kochi Prefecture, which has been known as a scenic and scenic place for a long time. A new adventure museum will be born in this area overlooking the magnificent Pacific Ocean known as Cape Ashizuri. It is the new Ashizuri Kaikan “SATOUMI” that will open in the Tatsukushi area, one of the tourist bases, on Saturday, July 18th.
Tatsukushi Bay is adjacent to Cape Ashizuri, where Kuroshio first docks on the Japanese archipelago. We will exhibit a realistic Ashizuri ecosystem with 15,000 items of about 350 species of rich sea life. In the Tatsukushi Bay large aquarium, which boasts a water volume of 430 tons, the underwater scenery of tropical coral communities such as coconut coral communities is reproduced. We will also display the Japanese shark, which is rarely bred nationwide.

Inside the SATOUMI building, we have developed a story from mountains to mountain streams, shallow water in the bay, and the deep sea. From the second floor, we designed the aquarium inside the building and Tatsukushi Bay to be visible as one. You can observe the creatures that live in the bay rich in the Kuroshio current. At Tatsukushi Marine Park around SATOUMI, you can enjoy various leisure activities all season.

■A holiday unique to Kochi with your own charm! “Your new holiday.”
In Kochi Prefecture, in addition to the “food” and “history” that have been refined up to now, we will fully enjoy the charm of this prefecture by showing the charm of nature & experience including various charms of the mountainous area The tourism campaign “Ryoma Holidays-Nature & Experience Campaign” to be held is being held from February 2019.
From February 2020, the second year of the campaign, we are developing a new promotion concept, “Your new holiday.” We are proposing ways to spend holidays unique to Kochi.
[“Your new holiday” concept]
Kochi has a “new holiday” that is not on the calendar.
On the day of a big tree I met during trekking, I felt the strength of life.
Returning to his childhood, Kawaday was hooked on draining.
It’s a seaside sunset where I was just watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
Next, why not find your own holiday in Kochi?
Your new holiday.
▶ Producing a special version poster to commemorate the grand opening of the new Ashizuri Kaikan “SATOUMI”
This time, as a special version commemorating the grand opening of the new Ashizuri Kaikan “SATOUMI”, we created a new poster by using Mr. Eisaku Kubonouchi, a manga artist/artist from Kochi City, for the poster design.
This poster will be distributed to SATOUMI and tourist facilities in the western part of the prefecture.
[Comment from Mr. Eisaku Kubonouchi]
One of the things that came to my mind when I made posters was the story of a woman who left Kochi for college or employment. On the beach in Kochi that I visited with my boyfriend for the first time in a long time, the beautiful light and sound of the waves melt something that was being repaired in urban life. The moment when the gentle sea breeze shook her hair, the Tosa dialect that came out naturally while looking back at him is “Knowing? Real me”. You can find dramas and memories of visitors. I hope you can feel such an image from the poster.
