Latest Kochi hotel reviews
Rabbityama Says: Katsurahama is a coastal beach area, but swimming is not the reason people visit. Actually, swimming is prohibited, because the currents are too strong. Instead, people come for the scenic view of the water and coast. It's well-known for its beauty and even though Japan has...
Rabbityama Says: Kochi Castle as you see it today dates back to 1748, making it one of the few original castles in Japan. It is particularly great because all of the structures are original and intact, which is not the case for most of the other original castles. Kochi Castle belonged to the...
Rabbityama Says: Harimayabashi Bridge is esentially just a small red bridge but the story associated with it is what makes it a nice attraction. It is said that long ago a monk from Godaisan fell in love with a woman, which was strictly forbidden for holy men. They kept their relationship a...
daggamamma Says: We just got back from our 3-week trip to Japan. Of course we had a great time checking out temples in Kyoto and all that Japanese stuff. However the best thing we did on our trip was Rafting in Shikoku. It was such a beautiful place and the river was absolutely awesome. We...

Kochi is famous for Katzuo sashimi
R.Dettmann Says: You just have to try katzuo sashimi. Katzuo is bonito. Kochi is famous for this fish. You'll get it quite cheap here as well. The sashimi is thinly sliced fresh raw fish. The special thing about the sashimi in Kochi is, that it is smoked from the outside. It tasts awesome....
Rabbityama Says: Kochi is one of Shikoku's largest cities, so it is well connected within Shikoku as well as to the mainland by train.Kochi Station is its main station. From Matsuyama and Takamatsu, Tadaotsu Station is a common place to change trains to head to Kochi. From the mainland,...

trvladct Says: Kochi women are said to have 8 balls. (I believe the men have the normal amount) Its because of their strength. Even today when many japanese wives stay at home, Kochi women are known to have an outside job. They are a force to be reckoned with!
R.Dettmann Says: Mastiff dogs which weight up to 90kg fight each other. They are ranked equally like sumo wrestlers. I'm not sure if Token is a tourist trap, because you get lots of action for your money, but I just felt sorry for the poor dogs. It was hard to watch the whole fight. No dog...
R.Dettmann Says: Kochi is well known for Token. If you go to Katsura-hama area you can watch a dog fight. It will cost you around 20 Euro for the dog fight and a dance performance afterwards. You will also be able to see the long tailed roosters.
kiwigal_1 Says: If you plan on doing a lot of train travel when you are in Japan then I suggest that you decline from bringing large, heavy suitcases. Most train stations in Japan have huge staircases (often no lift) so lugging a big suitcase is not an easy task. I suggest a good backpack...
