Otoyo

Among the towns of Kochi Prefecture, Otoyo stands out for its deep mountain setting along the Yoshino River. This inland community lies in the Shikoku Mountains, where the river valley has long provided a route across the island; National Route 32 and the JR Dosan Line follow its course through the area. Otoyo is home to the Sugino Ōsugi, an ancient Japanese cedar designated a Special Natural Monument of Japan. The great tree is a local emblem, while heavily wooded slopes and narrow valley settlements define much of the town’s character.
