The most popular item at this market is the local specialty, Kokerazushi dish. In this Toyo Town, it has been customary to celebrate events with sawachi cuisine, food served on an elaborate large deli platters, and the first item placed on the platter was always kokerazushi.

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.
