What Kind of Place is Tatsukushi?

Tosashimizu City, located in Kochi Prefecture, is the southernmost town in Shikoku and home to the nationally renowned Cape Ashizuri.
This area is said to be the first place in Japan to be visited by the Kuroshio Current, which brings an abundance of migratory fish, vibrant tropical species, and an astonishing 107
species of coral to these nutrient-rich waters.
Our diving center is located in an area called Tatsukushi, famous for its striking rock formations. Shaped over time by the accumulation of sandstone, mudstone, and the forces of nature, these formations extend southwest, creating a breathtaking underwater landscape.
Tatsukushi was designated as Japan’s first underwater park in 1970.
Two years later, the region became part of Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park, ensuring the preservation of its pristine marine beauty.
