Itinéraire
Connu comme "le meilleur château sur la Nankaido (route)", est un symbole de la ville de Kochi. Il n’ya actuellement au Japon que 12 châteaux de la période pré-Edo, mais le château de Kochi est l’un des plus précieux. La tour principale actuelle a été reconstruite en août 1747. La principale caractéristique du château de Kochi est la cohésion totale du groupe de bâtiments principal, avec les ponts de Tenshu, Goten et Corridor, qui sont tous complètement présents avec le mur de pierre, etc. Le belvédère au dernier étage de la tour du château surplombe la ville de Kochi.
Grand hall avec des stands de nourriture d'environ 40 restaurants différents, ainsi que des magasins de souvenirs et autres magasins. Peut-être apprécierez-vous certains des célèbres «Katsuo Tataki», qui sont des poissons bonito brûlés. Il est recommandé d'y mettre du sel et de l'ail tranché avant de le déguster. Profitez des aliments locaux uniques à Kochi.
Le jardin botanique Makino, situé au sommet de Godaiyama, dans l'État de Kochi, a été ouvert en 1958 pour rendre hommage aux réalisations du docteur Tomitaro Makino, le "père de la taxonomie des plantes japonaises" de la préfecture de Kochi. Environ 3 000 hectares, y compris des plantes sauvages apparentées au médecin, colorent les quatre saisons dans les 6 hectares environ du jardin, ce qui en fait l’un des principaux jardins botaniques intégrés du Japon, où vous pourrez ressentir le plaisir de rencontrer des plantes dans la nature.
La prospérité grandit à cause de la dévotion du seigneur de Tosa et des moines disciples se rassemblèrent pour devenir le centre de la culture de Tosa en tant que temple d'étude. Beaucoup d'œuvres d'une grande importance ont vu le jour et il existe un Bouddha «secret» qui n'est montré au public qu'une fois tous les 50 ans. De plus, la pagode à cinq étages construite dans l'enceinte est la seule dans la préfecture de Kochi, et la tour contient des stupas sollicités de Bodh Gaya, en Inde.

Le port de Kochi n'est pas proche de la ville centrale de Kochi, donc si vous êtes le client de croisière, nous nous retrouverons à Harimayabashi Tourist Bus Terminal, c'est un arrêt de navette du port de Kochi. Vous pouvez y accéder facilement en navette.

We stopped in Kochi on a cruise and wanted to use a private guide instead of a large shore excursion through the cruise line. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Mitsue. She was knowledgeable and really took the time to understand our group’s interests and needs. And she was wonderful when one of our older family members was feeling unwell due to unseasonable heat in finding alternatives for us. We would enjoy seeing more of Kochi with Mitsue again!
Dear Brian, Thank you for another review! We're so happy that you were satisfied with our tour with Mitsue. We are very much looking forward to your next visit! Best reards, Kyoko
We had a wonderful tour of the Kochi Castle, botanical gardens, and Hirome market. Peach was our tour guide and is wonderful! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful day in Kochi with our delightful expert guide Mitsue. She was kind, knowledgeable, and related well to everyone in our party across age groups. Most importantly she was flexible. It was unseasonably warm weather and when one of our older family members became fatigued, Mitsue was prompt in offering solutions and getting them to an air conditioned space where they could recharge - while ensuring the other members of our party saw the key landmarks. We will absolutely love to tour Kochi again with Mitsue!
Dear Brian, Thank you very much for booking our Kochi Highlights Tour and for sharing your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Mitsue’s kindness, expertise, and thoughtful flexibility helped your whole family enjoy the day comfortably, even in the warm weather. It’s great to know she could support your older family member while still guiding the rest of the group to Kochi’s key landmarks. We truly appreciate your warm words and would be thrilled to welcome you again for another tour! Best regards, Kyoko
Our guide Peach very kindly met us at the port so that we did not have to take a paid shuttle into town. She was very enthusiastic about her city and its beautiful sites, and took many posed pictures of us so that she could send us a photo album. We especially enjoyed the Makino Botanical Garden dedicated to the man who devoted his entire life to advancing botany in Japan and the world. Visiting Kochi castle was strenuous for us due to the many stairs. Younger/more fit travelers would have no trouble.
Dear Judith, Thank you very much for booking our Kochi Highlights Tour and for sharing your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that Peach’s warm hospitality made your day so special. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you again on a future visit! Best regards, Kyoko
Kumiko was a great tour guide. I would recommend it. She was flexible with the tour because of my surgery. She gave great alternative options. Kochi castle was beautiful and we loved learning about the culture.

I had a most excellent tour of Kochi with Hdemi! She is so kind an knowledgeable about the history and customs of the area! She tailored the tour to my interests and I thoroughly enjoyed her company! I highly recommend this tour!! It was well organized and timed to avoid the crowds which I very much appreciated. We visited Kochi Castle which was very beautiful! Demi explained the history of the castle and that it is an important pilgrimage for people today. We explored the Hirome Market and Hdemi helped me pick some local delicious vegetarian food for my lunch. We traveled to the Makino Botanic Garden which is located on top of a mountain with spectacular views! We saw many rare and exotic blooms. We then visited the Chikurinji Temple as well. It was a lovely day! Demi gave us a parting gift and I will treasure the memory of this day❤️
Dear Carol, Thank you so much for another review! We greatly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of guiding you on more adventures in the future. Best regards, Kyoko
