It is said that the Tosa military commander who unified the four countries during the Warring States Period, Before going out into battle, the chief minister of our clan, Yuan Qin, would always come to pray for luck. Off the main road, a simple and quiet shrine.

It is said that this is the shrine where Chosokabe Motochika prayed for victory. As a nearby public transportation, a bus comes about once an hour. It is a bit far from Chosokabe Motochika's grave, and the statue is a 5-7 minute walk.

This is Yahata-sama ⛩️, which is close to Katsurahama. A famous Sengoku warlord from Tosa who conquered Shikoku ✨ This is Hachiman Shrine where Motochika Chosokabe is said to have prayed for victory in his first battle 🙏 It has a nice atmosphere, is a quiet place, and is also famous as a magnificent dragonfly-style shrine. When I put my hands together, I felt a lot better 😊 After visiting Kaitsumi Shrine⛩️ (Ryuogu Shrine) in Katsurahama, stop by Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine and you will receive the goshuin stamp of Kaitsumi Shrine⛩️. But please note that you will not be able to receive it unless you are really interested😅 There is also a statue of Motochika Chosokabe nearby, so be sure to check it out✨ Mr. Hachiman makes me feel very calm.

This is a shrine where Chosokabe Motochika is said to have visited when he went to war. It is a shrine with a calm atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery. A bronze statue of Motochika Chosokabe stands along the long approach. It's very brave and cool.
