Then explore Kochi Castle, one of Japan’s few original castles. Its preserved wooden interiors and hilltop views offer a rare, authentic glimpse into samurai-era Japan.

What To Expect
Cape Muroto
Cape Muroto offers a breathtaking encounter with nature’s raw power, where steep cliffs meet the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Unlike more manicured coastal spots, Muroto retains a rugged, untouched beauty shaped by volcanic activity, with uniquely weathered rock formations and dramatic sea views. This area is also part of a UNESCO Global Geopark, allowing visitors to explore geological wonders alongside spiritual sites like the secluded Hotsumisakiji Temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage route. The remote, windswept landscape and sense of spiritual solitude make a visit to Cape Muroto not just scenic, but deeply memorable and unlike any other stop in Japan.
Hirome Ichiba
Hirome Market offers a lively and unforgettable glimpse into Kochi’s vibrant local culture, setting it apart from more traditional or tourist-oriented markets in Japan. Unlike orderly food courts or department store basements, this bustling hall brings together over 60 stalls where locals and travelers share communal tables, creating a relaxed, festive atmosphere. Visitors can sample Kochi’s famous dishes like seared bonito (katsuo no tataki) prepared on the spot, accompanied by local sake. The open, unpretentious setting encourages conversation and spontaneous encounters, making the experience as much about people as it is about food—a warm memory that lingers well beyond the meal.
