Looking for a beautiful place to visit in Japan? Interested in Nature & Outdoor activities? Good food & Hospitality?
Then KOCHI is the place to go!
Hi, my name is Sakurako. I come from Kochi. I would like to introduce you to my hometown.
When you hear the word "JAPAN", what comes first to your mind? Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Bullet-train, Sushi etc? Well, there are much more to explore in rural Japan. Kochi is often called the "the true INAKA" (countryside) - where you can experience abundance of nature, truly great traditional and modern cuisine.
KOCHI is located in Southwest of Japan on island of Shikoku with population of ca. 760,000. Just 40 min. away from Osaka & 75 min. away from Tokyo by air.
