    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kochi Kochi-shi Takajomachi 1-3-35
    This building constructed by the Tosa Domain's 16th feudal lord Yamanouchi Toyonori in 1665. It's a nationally designated Important Cultural Property. A two-story building with 31-meter beams and 4.5-meter crossbeams, it was part of the suburban residence of the feudal lord Yamauchi Yodo in the late Edo period. The villa acted as a guard station for foot soldiers who served as security guards. Modern tenement-style housing on this scale is rarely seen in Japan and is of great value.

Kochi Areas

around-area-map

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
