Kochi, Japan | An in-depth guide to a hidden gem

| An in-depth guide to a hidden gem. Dear friends👫, today I want to share with you a charming hidden gem in Japan - Kochi. There are so many surprises here, so hurry up and save this guide👇 Must-see attractions 1. Kochi Castle🌟 As the only castle in Japan with a complete main keep, it was built in the early 17th century and is an important castle of the Edo period. The castle tower perfectly showcases the traditional Japanese castle architecture style. Climb to the top floor and enjoy the stunning view of Kochi City. The museum inside the castle displays historical artifacts, bringing the construction process and war history of Kochi Castle to life. 2. Katsurahama Park🌊 A landmark attraction in Kochi, facing the Pacific Ocean, it is incredibly romantic. The famous Ryuzu Cape and Sakamoto Ryoma statue are located here. The Goshiki Terrace and Katsurahama Aquarium are also great for taking photos. The park has excellent commercial facilities and rest areas, so you won't have to worry about food and drink when you're tired. 3. Godaisan🌳 A perfect blend of nature and history. Chikurinji Temple is tranquil and serene, while the botanical garden is full of life. Strolling through, you can enjoy the beauty of nature and the rich cultural heritage. 4. Hirome Market🍱 A lively market where you can buy many local specialties and delicacies. Be sure to try the katsuo no tataki and seafood rice bowl, as the delicious flavors will explode on your taste buds. 5. Kagamigawa Promenade and Godaisan Park🌿 A beautiful natural park with few people, perfect for walking and taking photos. Here, you can quietly enjoy the tranquility of nature, as if time has slowed down. Convenient transportation Kochi City has very convenient transportation🚇. From the JR station, you can take a bus or tram directly to various attractions. For example, there is a direct bus to Katsurahama Park every hour. If you want to save some money, you can get off at the Hashikawa 5-chome Station and transfer to the tram, which is also very convenient. Quality accommodation I highly recommend staying at the OMO7 Kochi Hotel🏨 in the city center. It is located at Harimayabashi, making it convenient to take a bus or the Tosa Electric Railway. The hotel has a simple and cozy design, with spacious rooms and great city views. The most surprising thing is the hot spring. After soaking in the hot spring at night, you can join the Yosakoi Festival, which is incredibly relaxing. Kochi is truly a place worth visiting, so hurry up and plan your trip💕
