At the Mercure Hotel where I stayed on this trip to Kochi, the "Bamboo Lantern Night" was being held, and I was able to enjoy the fantastic lighting of the bamboo lanterns on a winter night 🌟 Bamboo once supported Geisei Village's main industry, but now it has become a problem called "bamboo damage," so this event was planned to utilize such bamboo 🎋 This year, it was only until January 13th, so it's already over, but I'm glad I was able to enjoy the winter scenery of Geisei Village 🌛🩰 Nishibun, Geiseimura Akigun, ２９９５ Ko, Kochi Prefecture 781-5703 #0 yen trip January 2025 #Domestic travel #Kochi

I stayed at Mercure Kochi Tosa Resort & Spa 🕊️ The highlight of this hotel is its all-inclusive service, allowing guests to freely use the lounge space located on the lobby floor behind the front desk 🌟 When I visited after checking in, I found that there was unlimited access to alcoholic beverages, including beer and a wide variety of sake, as well as snacks like gummies and chocolates. They also had local specialties from Kochi, such as Imo Kenpi (sweet potato sticks) and Millet Biscuits 💎 Although the seating was limited and it was always crowded, it was great to be able to use it for free 😌

Kotogahama is a beautiful sandy beach located about 5 minutes by car from the Mercure Kochi Tosa Resort & Spa where we stayed during our trip to Kochi. The scenery is so beautiful that it has been selected as one of the "100 Best White Sand and Green Pine Beaches in Japan," and the observation deck was refreshing and really pleasant. It's a hidden spot, so it's nice that there aren't many people. There is also a free parking lot, and there are so many cars that you can easily park on weekdays. The beach is said to be 4km long, and it's refreshing on a nice day. 781-5701 Geisei Village, Aki District, Kochi Prefecture #Seasonal places in Japan #Kochi #Domestic travel

I stayed at the Mercure Kochi Tosa Resort & Spa during my trip to Kochi💎 It is located about 20-30 minutes by car from Kochi Airport🌿 Although the rebranded open gave a new and clean impression on the official website, the actual guest rooms were quite old...😅 There is a hot spring, so I didn't use it, but the bathroom in the guest room is a unit bath🫧 The view overlooking the sea was wonderful🌞 Nishibun, Geiseimura Akigun, 2995 Ko, Kochi Prefecture 781-5703 Check-in/out 15:00-10:00

Kochi Kochishi Sea House It’s so nice to enjoy the unbeatable view of the Pacific Ocean while dining! This shop is located on the coast of Kochi, about 40 minutes’ drive from downtown Kochi. The store opens at 11 o'clock but there are people queuing around 10:30! (I went there on Sunday noon) It is recommended to come early because if the restaurant is full, you will need to wait for a table to be turned over. In addition, the scenery on the second floor is much better than that on the first floor~~ Before I went there, I defined it as a restaurant with a view, but I was very satisfied with the meal I had that day. The three of us ordered Italian noodles with very unique sauces. I finally fell in love with the bacon Italian noodles ordered next to it. The sauce was delicious. It tastes like fried cheese, super rich and delicious! The afternoon tea shop also sells desserts. If you don’t want to eat a full meal, you can choose to come in the afternoon. I can only say that this view is really an unbeatable sea view, and the view is very wide, which is very suitable for playing around for a while. Just search Sea House on Google and you will find it. #KochiTravel #GirlsSoloTravel #KochiTourism #DopamineTravel #100TravelWays #PacificView

SEA HOUSE is a popular seaside cafe located about 30 minutes by car from Kochi city. It's stylish and recommended for dates and couples' trips. The cafe looks like it juts out into the sea, and it looks stylish even from the road. The interior is stylish as expected, and you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the Pacific Ocean. It makes you feel like you're in a cafe in Shonan. (Of course, the sea is cleaner in Kochi.) The sea is right in front of you, the building is nice, the scenery is beautiful, and the food is delicious. Overall, I was very satisfied! I went a little after lunchtime on the weekend, but there were about 10 groups waiting. Even when a seat became available, it took a while for us to be seated, so the wait was a little long, which was a bit of a problem, but the atmosphere was great! On this day, I ate angel shrimp and clam tomato cream pasta, which was piping hot, had lots of seafood on top, and was well seasoned and delicious! There were lots of clams!

From Shikoku, we went from Awajishima to Tokushima, then to Kochi Prefecture! ①Harimaya Bridge ②Katsurahama - Sakamoto Ryoma Statue - ③Eating local delicacies ①Hariyama Bridge It's a small bridge that stands alone in the middle of the city, and has a presence similar to Sapporo's clock tower! But you can feel the history of how merchants made it possible for each other to get around. 30 minutes is enough for sightseeing. ②Katsurahama We spent time looking at the Sakamoto Ryoma statue and gazing at the sea. This place is also not too big, so an hour is enough even if you take your time! The souvenir shop was newly opened, stylish and popular, so it gets crowded during the peak season! It may take the longest time to shop here! ③Eating delicious food When you think of Kochi, you think of bonito! Eating bonito tataki with large grains of salt was incredibly delicious! Other than that, the bonito sashimi and whale sashimi were also surprisingly delicious! Doro-me, a young fish from Kochi, is also delicious, like raw shirasu! As long as you don't mind the bitterness. Souvenirs ・Yasu emerald melon ・Okashi Hana to Koishite The food was delicious~ I want to go again~ Hotel Royal Hotel Tosa Address: 2995 Nishibun-ko, Geisei-mura, Aki-gun, Kochi Prefecture 781-5703 Atmosphere/Facilities: Onsen Recommended point: Buffet Average price: 25,000-30,000 Budget per person: 15,000 Evaluation: It's mostly self-service, so it feels a bit pricey, but the food is delicious and there's a hot spring, so I'm satisfied! #KochiPrefecture #HarimayaBridge #Katsurahama #Bonito #Melon
