This tour is designed for the travelers who visit Kochi by cruise ship. We will pick you up at Kochi Shin Port or hotels near the port.
Kochi is a smart, compact city with a deserved reputation for enjoying a good time. The castle here is largely undamaged and remains a fine example of Japanese architecture. Excellent access to Muroto-Misaki, Ashizuri-misaki and the Iya Valley, and easy day trips to caves, beaches and mountains make Kōchi a perfect base for travels around the island.
Let us know what you would like to experience and we will customize a six-hour tour that's best for you!

We had a very good tour in Kochi. The castle was very impressive but lots of stairs. It was worth the effort. Nori was very informed of Kochi.

Lovely tour of the Ryogado Caves and the Hirome Market! Tour guide was very sweet and informative. The market is adjacent to a fun shopping street as well which our teen girls enjoyed!

We were three couples on a cruise round the South of Japan and we spent a day in Kochi with our guide Yoshi in early April. I had been in communication with him before our trip asking if he could arrange a tea ceremony for us which he did at Kochi castle museum; an experience we all thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately it rained heavily for most of the day but we enjoyed the castle the blossom there, and the views from the top. Lunch took rather longer than it might have with translation difficulties ordering a gluten free meal, so we only had a short visit to Makino Gardens, which would have been beautiful in good weather. Thanks to Yoshi for a very pleasant day.

Our guide, Koba picked us up at the cruise terminal for a private tour in Kochi. He showed us the highlights of Kochi and explained us a lot about the history, a tasty lunch, no rush, exactly as we hoped to be. We had a beautiful day thanks to his great guiding. Do you go to Kochi, we really recommend Koba!
