Getting Around the Tosa Reihoku Area
Public transportation in the Tosa Reihoku area—such as trains and buses—is limited and not suitable for flexible travel. The most convenient way to explore the region is by rental car or bicycle.
Please note that the area is mountainous, with many steep hills and narrow roads. We recommend renting a compact car rather than a large vehicle. If you are not confident in your driving skills, it may be best to avoid driving in this area.
Mountain roads can be narrow and uneven—drive with care.
Bicycle Rental Service
Please note that some roads are narrow and hilly. We recommend wearing a helmet and using caution, especially on mountain roads.
Rent a bicycle and discover the natural beauty of Tosa Reihoku at your own pace.
For recommended cycling routes, visit the Japan Eco Track website.
