Kuroshio Honjin: the inn of bonito
Kuroshio Honjin is located in Nakatosa-cho, Kochi Prefecture, found on the Pacific-facing side of Japan's smallest main island, Shikoku. 50 kilometers west of Kochi City, Nakatosa-cho's town is famous for pole-and-line bonito fishing.
In March, 2011, the Nakatosa Interchange opened on the Kochi Expressway-Kochi Prefectural Highway, allowing for smoother access to Kuroshio Honjin.
