行程

elcome to a side of Japan few travelers ever get to see. Your journey begins in the hidden mountain village of Besshi, a breathtakingly beautiful community tucked away in Niyodogawa. Beautiful in every season, with weeping cherry blossoms in spring, cascading water in the gorge in summer, fiery red foliage in autumn and the amazing procession of festival goers in winter. On this tour, you will walk the very route used for the festival's sacred portable shrine procession, guiding you through the heart of the village straight to the ancient Akiba Shrine. Maybe you have seen shrines before, but this time a local guide will walk you from front to back and explain the meaning of the various intricate carvings and paintings. Learn about the shrine, the festival, and experience the true meaning held within.

About Kochi

Kochi, on the Pacific coast of Shikoku, is a castle town known for seared bonito, a long Sunday market and its ties to the hero Sakamoto Ryoma.

Kochi stands on the southern coast of Shikoku, facing the Pacific, with mountains rising immediately behind. Kochi Castle, in the middle of the city, keeps its original wooden keep from the 18th century, one of the few left in Japan, and from the top there are views over the rooftops. Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai who helped bring down the shogunate in the 1860s, was born here, and his statue looks out over the ocean at Katsurahama beach.
