Discover the best of Kochi in a compact, full-day tour that weaves together nature, history, and local charm. Start at Cape Muroto, where dramatic cliffs and vast ocean views reveal the raw power of the Pacific. As part of a UNESCO Global Geopark, its volcanic landscapes and quiet temple offer a memorable, almost spiritual experience.

Return to the city for lunch at Hirome Market, where the lively, communal atmosphere invites spontaneous encounters and a real taste of local life. 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. Finish at Katsurahama, a beautiful beach known for its crashing waves and the iconic statue of Sakamoto Ryoma—a striking place where nature and history meet.

What To Expect

Chikurinji Temple

Chikurin-ji Temple, located on Mount Godai in Kochi, is one of the 88 temples on the famous Shikoku Pilgrimage. Founded in the 8th century by the Buddhist monk Gyoki, it is known for its beautiful five-story pagoda, tranquil garden, and impressive collection of Buddhist statues. The temple grounds offer scenic views of Kochi City and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. Visitors can stroll through its moss-covered paths, admire seasonal flowers, and experience the deep spirituality that has attracted pilgrims for over a thousand years, making it a cultural and historical gem of Kochi.

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.

    The guide (Kazu-san) was cheerful, knowledgeable and kind. The views in the mountains were breathtaking and the history of both the island and Kochi city brought everything to life. Would certainly recommend for a private tour!!
