Among the coastal towns of Kochi Prefecture, Otsuki stands out for its indented shore between Sukumo Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The town occupies the southwestern edge of Shikoku, where wooded slopes descend toward small coves and offshore islands. Kashiwajima, linked to the mainland by a bridge, belongs to Otsuki and is widely known in Japan as a destination for scuba diving. Much of the surrounding coast lies within Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park, which extends across Kochi and Ehime prefectures. Otsuki reflects the maritime character of far southwestern Kochi, well away from the prefecture’s larger urban centres.
