Katsurahama Ryuogu Shrine
Kochi Prefecture · Japan
Katsurahama is a scenic beach a little outside of Kochi City center. Due to the strong current, swimming is prohibited but fortunately there are other things to do in the area. One of the main sites is the Sakamoto Ryoma museum. Sakamoto, a Kochi native, was part of the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate. One of his main achievements was helping to create an alliance between two hostile clans, Choshu (present day Yamagata) and Satsuma (Kagoshima). When the end of the shogunate was imminent, he also helped with the negotiations of the shogun's resignation. If that's not enough, he is considered the father of the Japanese imperial navy, and his ideas were influential in the new parliamentary system, which he unfortunately did not live to see. In short, he is an important figure in Japanese history, and the museum details his life and legacy.
