Sukumo
7.0
High score (8-10)
Sukumo is the southwestern-most port city on Shikoku and the embarkation point for ferries to Saganoseki in Oita on Kyushu, giving it more outside transit contact than pure rural Kochi towns. The commercial fishing port keeps some economic activity and the ferry connection creates a small transit population. More functional than most of western Kochi's smaller towns.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Sukumo has a ferry connection to Kyushu and a commercial fishing port that give it slightly more outside contact than the fully landlocked rural towns around it. The city has a small downtown with limited but real commercial infrastructure. A foreign man here registers as unusual in a city that has at least some experience with transit visitors.
Lower score (below 6)
Sukumo is a remote port city at Shikoku's southwestern corner where the main social draw is the ferry terminal and the fishing docks. The downtown is thin and the entertainment options are minimal. A foreign man here is isolated in ways that the ferry connection does little to offset — you're still in a small, conservative coastal community far from anything.
