    A park on a small hill in Aki. It is a well-known azalea spot with about 15,000 of them blooming every April.

The tourist association holds its Azalea Festival every year from late March to early May. The vibrant park has plum and cherry trees, wisteria, irises, and other flowering plants all blooming in succession with various events held on weekends.

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.
