2025 Aki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

📍Iokido, Kochi Prefecture Iokido is located on the road just outside the city center, heading east along National Route 55 in Aki City. Stepping out of the concrete road, you will see a view that makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time to tens of thousands of years ago. This cave is a natural sea cave formed by wave erosion when the surrounding area was the sea, and is about 5m high, 4m wide, and 40m long. At the back of the cave is a valley, and water that is usually enough to soak your feet flows out. You can also see shell fossils on the walls of the cave. *We recommend wearing easy-to-move-in sneakers or hiking boots when walking around (long boots are useful during long periods of rain or the day after heavy rain). Sandals are not recommended in the summer as there is a possibility of encountering vipers. #0yentravelJanuary2025

A lover's sanctuary in Aki City, Kochi Prefecture, is located next to the Daisendo Station. There are Iogi Port and Daisen Cape here, as well as a natural trail where you can enjoy the sea view. If you go there at sunset, you can take pictures of the setting sun. It's very romantic. However, the shops at the Daisendo Station are closed, so you can't replenish supplies or have a cup of coffee to enjoy the sunset! #2024TravelReview

The natural cave "Iogi Cave" next to Iogi Station has an excellent ecology and gurgling streams. It was almost dark on the day I visited, and I was the only one along the road. I walked to the narrowest part and turned back, which was a pity! Kochi Prefecture should attach great importance to this scenic spot. The cave is well preserved, there is no garbage at all, and there is a large free parking lot in addition to free admission! #2024TravelReview
