[2025 Kochi Hotels] Travel Guide for Hotel Town Center (Updated Jul)

DAY 15: Walking in Kochi City Kochi Castle has a history of more than 400 years. It is one of the 12 existing wooden castle towers, the only castle with the Honmaru Palace intact, and one of the three major night castles in Japan. Today happened to be Sunday, and the streets were full of tourists. It was the busiest day of my trip to Shikoku. Although the cherry blossoms along the way have gradually withered, it will be the season for azaleas to bloom. P.S.: Mrs. Han also went to the Spring Travel Fair today and booked a short trip to Hong Kong and Macau in June 😘 Attractions: Holiday Market, Kochi Castle Tower, Hiroto Market, Sakamoto Ryoma Birth Memorial Hall, Obiyamachi Ichiban-gai Shopping Street Accommodation: Hotel Town Center, Kochi Today's cycling distance: 0 km Cumulative cycling mileage: 919 km #Japan #FourCountries #Shikoku Pilgrimage #Shikoku Pilgrimage #Seto Inland Sea #Shikokudisease #Tokushima #Awa Spiritual Field #Kochi #Tosa Sacred Ground #Ehime #Sanuki Sacred Ground #Kagawa #Iyo Sacred Ground #BicycleTravel #Two people walking together #Kobodashi #Namo Master Universal Illumination Vajra #Shikoku Pilgrimage 88 #Gohenro #Shimanami Kaido #Shodoshima #Setonaikai National Park #Don't ask me how much the trip costs #Ask yourself how many years of youth you have left #japan #tokushima #kochi #ehime #takematsu

DAY 14: Zhulin Temple is located on the top of Mount Wutai, overlooking the entire city of Kochi. The temple is very well maintained, antique and beautiful, so it is also one of the attractions arranged by tour groups. There are Shancai Tongzi and the cute fortune-bringing statue in the temple. Cats, the towering five-story pagoda and the bamboo forest complement each other. From the accommodation, take the 30th to 36th bus, which just goes around the city of Kochi.

DAY 13: Today we will start the "Kochi Training Center" We set out from our accommodation at 5am and rode 47km to our first stop. The most Misaki Temple - the true end of the world Then follow National Highway 55 Cycling along the Pacific Highway Until we entered the outskirts of Kochi, we saw green farmland again. The most familiar scenery on the pilgrimage route～ The endless Pacific Ocean meets the lush green countryside. Today's total riding distance is about 154 kilometers, from sunrise to sunset, which is the longest distance in my planned itinerary. If I were to walk all the way, it would take at least 5-6 days to complete. The journey is also very demanding on the pilgrims' physical strength. There are not many supply points and accommodation along the way, so be sure to plan well before the journey.
