Tosa, Administrative division in Kōchi Prefecture, Japan

Tosa extends across 91.50 square kilometers between the Shikoku Mountains in the north and the Pacific Ocean in the south, with the Niyodo River flowing through.

The area transformed from a village to a town in 1899 and received city status in 1959, marking substantial administrative changes in the Kōchi region.

The district preserves two temples of the Shikoku Pilgrimage route: Kiyotaki-ji, number 35, and Shōryū-ji, number 36, representing religious heritage.

The region maintains nine elementary schools, three middle schools, and two high schools, along with the Kochi Professional University of Rehabilitation.

The rich subsoil water from the Niyodo River supports both agricultural production and paper manufacturing industries in the region.
