For the adventurous traveler looking for a less-traveled Japan that is much unchanged from decades past, eastern Kochi is a delight.
Marvel at the vast expanse and changing moods of the Pacific Ocean that crashes into the Muroto Peninsular. Get a sense of the commitment required to complete the Shikoku Pilgrimage by trekking the Muruto Sanzan, three pilgrimage temples clustered on the peninsular, and visit important sites associated with Kukai, the Buddhist saint with whom the pilgrimage is closely linked. Away from the coast, good-natured locals share culinary skills passed down through generations with a smile.
