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.
