Cape Muroto
Murotomisakicho, , Muroto, Japan, 781-7101Cape 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.2 hours 30 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
Hirome Ichiba
2-3-1 Obiyamachi, , Kochi, Japan, 780-0841Hirome 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.3 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location3
Kochi Castle
1-2-1 Marunouchi, , Kochi, Japan, 780-0850Kochi Castle stands out among Japan’s castles as one of the few original structures to have survived since the Edo period, with its main keep, watchtowers, and connecting corridors all intact. Unlike many reconstructed castles, visitors here can walk through authentic wooden interiors and climb steep stairs once used by feudal lords. The castle's hilltop location offers sweeping views of the city, making the journey to the top both historically immersive and visually rewarding. Its compact yet complete layout makes it easy to grasp the daily life and defense strategy of a real samurai domain, leaving a vivid impression that lingers long after your visit.1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location4
Katsurahama is one of Kochi’s most iconic scenic destinations, offering a striking contrast between the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean and the calm beauty of pine-lined walking paths. What sets it apart from other coastal spots in Japan is its deep connection to history—most notably the towering statue of Sakamoto Ryoma, a local hero who helped shape modern Japan. Visitors can enjoy panoramic ocean views, explore the Sakamoto Ryoma Memorial Museum, and take in the unique atmosphere that blends natural grandeur with a strong sense of place and identity, leaving a lasting impression long after the visit ends.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
