TRAVEL GUIDE

Kochi

Castle markets, the Shimanto River and the Pacific coast

Discover Kochi Castle and the food stalls of Hirome Market, then consider a separate trip west toward the Shimanto River or Cape Ashizuri. The prefecture’s Pacific coastline is extensive, and river-country attractions are far from the city. Build the itinerary around one area and verify onward transport.
