Kochi Prefectural Sakamoto Ryoma Memorial Museum

高知県立坂本龍馬記念館

Kochi · Shikoku

The Kochi Prefectural Sakamoto Ryoma Memorial Museum is a history museum on the Urado headland above Katsurahama, devoted to the Tosa samurai Sakamoto Ryoma and the closing years of the Edo period. Its holdings include Ryoma's letters and documents of his Kaientai trading company, shown alongside material on the castaway-interpreter John Manjiro. The museum is open every day of the year.

Why we picked it

The Ryoma statue on the beach below is photographed constantly; the museum that explains who he was is a five-minute walk uphill and far quieter.
