Kochi Prefecture's Absolute Essentials

Kochi Prefecture on Shikoku Island preserves an authentic feudal atmosphere at Kochi Castle, one of only twelve Japanese castles with an original wooden keep. The region is deeply connected to samurai Sakamoto Ryoma and serves as a major segment of the 88 Temple Pilgrimage, housing sites like the forest-bound Chikurin-ji. Natural landmarks include the rugged cliffs of Cape Muroto and the Mediterranean-style Monet’s Garden in Kitagawa. Engineering highlights like the Tei Port Drawbridge and the highly-rated Noichi Zoological Park round out the prefecture's diverse landscape.
