Les incontournables à Kochi

Kochi Essentials

Kochi features one of Japan’s twelve original surviving castle towers, providing a rare look at authentic Edo-period defense architecture. The city’s spiritual heritage is represented by four significant stops on the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, including the hilltop Chikurin-ji and the maritime-focused Zenjibu-ji. Cultural history is centered at the Sakamoto Ryoma Memorial Museum near Katsurahama Beach, while the Godaisan Observatory and the central wholesale market offer panoramic city views and access to the region's famous seared bonito.
