no Western Kochi beaches???
Some of the best surf beaches in Kochi (in Japan even) are located in western Kochi, but nothing west of Kochi city is included. A lot of Japanese make the trip down to Ohki beach, near Ashizuri cape (the southern tip of Shikoku) the beach has good camping, friendly locals, a nice onsen and very decent waves.

Ikumi Surf
Just went surfing in Ikumi about 3 days prior to typhoon hitting and the swell was huge! Camped in a tent that was hotter than hell though, but the incoming typhoon meant that on 400 meters of beach it was just me, ma mates, and around 10 other people. If you can get yourself to Tokushima, then the train down the coast is really simple and the walk afterwards not too long. Well worth it.

Niyodo river location
You have put Niyodo on your map next to Aki. It is infact closer to Kochi city located 5kms west of Kochi, about 35kms west of where your map locates it.

Teaching English in Japan
Hi,

I was thinking of doing the same, Teach english in Japan. Try to log in some water time too. What is the h20 temp like and when is the best season for waves etc. Anyone out there with some insight?

You've seen nothing until you come here mate. My Japanese friends come back from the gold coast saying it was nice to surf without crowds!!!
