Day 13 in Japan-Katsura hama & Ryoma in Kochi

Last day in Kochi, we needed to go to Katsura beach where Ryoma Sakamoto loved and the place has his statue. We bought some danish including a hat bread and brought them to our bus to Katsura Beach. They also has colorful street cars for downtown trip. I used to ride this type of street car with Mom when I was a kid.
高知、最後の日ですから、桂浜には行っておかないと。朝食に帽子パンなどを買い込みバスで行きました。高知にはまだ路面電車があって、子供の頃ママと乗った別府のそれを思い出します。

The beach was beautiful but would have been much better if it was a warm sunny day. We walked fast to see his statue, ran into the Ryoma Museum. The highlight in this museum was the screen with blood spots which was from Ryoma when he was killed. Ohhhhhhh...scary....
桂浜は美しかったけれど、冷たい雨が降っていなければさぞよかったでしょうね。早足で歩き龍馬の像を見て竜馬美術館に逃げ込みました。ここで一番すごかったのは龍馬が殺されたときにあった血の付いた屏風、もちろん龍馬の血ですよ。うわー、怖いなあ。

When we came back to the Kochi Station, there was a pavilion showing Ryoma and they had a place you can BE Ryoma. Made Steven great Ryoma. (Note:He is putting his right hand in the Kimono. This is Ryoma's signature pause.)
高知駅に戻って竜馬のパビリオンを訪問。龍馬になれるコーナーではStevenが挑戦しました。中々いけるでしょ。（注：右手を懐に入れているところが龍馬っぽいでしょ。）

See, it was the same pause with real Ryoma.
ほら、本物の龍馬と同じポーズでしょ。
