  • Cape Ashizuri Nature Trail
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kochi Tosashimizu-shi Ashizurimisaki
    This hiking trail is about 2,000 meters long. The surroundings are overgrown with camellia, and the trail can feel like walking through a camellia tunnel. The peak season is from late January through the end of February, when the flowers are in beautiful bloom. You can also find unusual connections to Kobo Daishi and Kongofukuji Temple. Cape Ashizuri is said to have 21 mysterious wonders, and this trail features seven including the “hole to hell” and Daishi no Tsumegaki Ishi, a rock that is said to have been inscribed by Kobo Daishi using his fingernails.

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.
