Kochi Castle
Kochi Castle is one of the few original castles in Japan with its main keep, palace, and gates still intact. Built in the early 17th century, it served as the seat of the Yamauchi lords and offers panoramic views of the city. Walking through its wooden interiors and climbing the stone steps feels like stepping back into the time of the samurai. Furthermore, the castle grounds include a well-preserved gate complex that is equally impressive.
Hirome Ichiba
Hirome Market is a lively food court and local hangout where you can sample a wide variety of Kochi’s regional dishes all in one place. From freshly seared katsuo no tataki to local sake and street food, it’s a perfect spot to experience Kochi’s unique food culture. Simply grab a seat, order from different stalls, and enjoy the festive, communal atmosphere that makes this market unlike any other in Japan.
