Kuroshio

Among Kochi Prefecture’s municipalities, Kuroshio stands out for its long Pacific shoreline along Tosa Bay. The town spans the former Ōgata and Saga areas in southwestern Shikoku, with the Kuroshio Current shaping the waters beyond its coast. Irino Beach is home to the Sunabi Museum, an outdoor cultural project that treats the beach itself as a gallery; its annual T-shirt Art Exhibition displays submitted designs on lines across the sand. Fishing communities remain part of local life, while coastal disaster preparedness is an important public concern. Formed in 2006 through the merger of Ōgata and Saga, Kuroshio pairs a far-reaching seafront with a distinctly local cultural identity.
