I had the most memorable experience at this local market, thanks to my friend who brought me here. It’s the kind of place you’d probably miss if you weren’t with someone who knows the area—but once you're in, it feels like stepping into the heart of the community. The market was alive with color, scent, and energy. From the friendly vendors to the vibrant stalls selling everything from handmade goods to seasonal produce, it was a real cultural treat. The highlight for me was trying the regional specialty foods. My friend guided me through what to try, and I got to taste some incredible dishes I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. The flavors were so rich and unique—clearly made with local ingredients and a lot of love. It was the kind of food experience that makes you feel deeply connected to a place. Whether you're a foodie, a traveler looking for an authentic experience, or just someone who enjoys soaking in the atmosphere of local life, I can't recommend this market enough. It’s not just about shopping—it’s a sensory journey that stays with you long after you leave.

Many car parking lot around the market. A lot of seats are available inside the market with the air conditioning, you can buy anything you like, share and enjoy fresh sashimi, katsuo tataki, etc.

The main shop that sells the bonito fish with rice and bonito sushi was delicious. But this market during weekend is packed with people hard to get a seat. Its frustrating when some local japanese seems racist and only offer their seat to their own people. But thankfully towards the end there was a helpful japanese lady that saw us holding the tray helplessly for almost 20mins and she came to us and ask us to her seat as she is leaving. In short, this market has variety of food but amount of crowd during weekend and certain racist japanese kills of the mood. Do go there during weekdays for better experience.

Many shops inside, we were there around 6pm, many locals and tourist too. Inside don’t allow bringing food or drinks from the outside. You have to find a table first and then you can buy from different shops. We saw many tables bought the grill katsuo no tataki. It’s grilled on the outside and raw in the inside. So we bought one to tried. Usually my husband is a fan of all fish but here he say it’s ok only 😯. Many sushi choices and they have beer too. I tried their fried chicken but it was cold and abit hard. I think familymart even taste better. 🫣 But it was a great experience if you like this kind of vibe. Oh , they have a parking of their own because I think they have a sign saying if you spend an account then you can get free parking.

Hirome Market in Kochi is a lively and vibrant spot with an amazing variety of fresh food. The sashimi is incredibly fresh with many options to choose from. You’ll also find tasty fried chicken and beef, perfect with a cold beer or some smooth sake. The atmosphere is casual, friendly, and full of energy—great for solo travelers or groups looking to experience local flavors in a fun setting. Highly recommended for food lovers!

Very good oden at Hirome Market. Full of people lining up for flash roasted tuna.

Quite interesting with performances of Yosakoi festival. Nice covered Street to walk and shop.

Has wide of information about the Kochi Castle's history. Also a few artifacts of the person that ruled the area.

500 💹 entrance fee gets you access to all 3 floors of the museum. There's a hands on gallery where you can experience dressing up in samurai helmet and robes, and also try your hand at creating a portrait by layering 5 different stamps. Meant for kids, but still had fun nonetheless. The audio guide is free and provides a detailed explanation of the various artifacts in the gallery. Information is contextualized for non-Japanese visitors and it was helpful to learn about Kochi's history.

This rating is based on a non-Japanese visitor’s oerspective. I would give the building that houses this museum 4 stars due to its beautiful design which incorporates local materials (wood in particular) and motifs throughout - though this could be more clearly explained. The exhibits are mostly artifacts from the Yamanouchi clan who occupied neighboring Kochi Castle from the early 17th century. There are many important historical documents on display, the significance of which is unfortunately lost on the casual visitor. There are some visually appealing artifacts - the samurai helmets based upon animal forms are particularly - on display, but the exhibition is probably best suited to those with a strong interest in Japanese history. I recommend viewing the videos available BEFORE going around the exhibits and to use foreign language the audio guide available (¥1000 deposit). Admission to the 1st and 2nd floors is free - the museum shop has some nice stuff in it, but the 2f cafe is kind of “old school”. The view of the castle from the 3rd floor gallery (admission free required) is nice, but it’s difficult to avoid reflection from the glass windows and is not that much better than the view from the castle steps.

Beautiful, state-of-the-arts museum. You can enjoy Sakamoto Ryoma latte art in the cafe on the second floor while taking in the view of the castle. The museum itself has lots of interesting cultural and military artifacts. There is some English though I wish there were more. Many of the captions are addressed to child audiences though, so if you can read some Japanese you will be able to follow along well enough. The museum also offers some nicely done history videos, many of which have English subtitles. I saw the staff disinfecting surfaces and they take your temperature when you enter so you can enter without worrying too much about the coronavirus.

Nice, brand new museum. Audio guide and some explanations in English, which is most appreciated. However, the collection is pretty small for the fee. Please note that combined tickets museum/castle are available at the museum. When we visited, only the permanent collection consisting mainly of maps and books/scrolls were on display. The special exhibition was closed so I can't comment on this.

I was a little bit disappointed by the museum as it's a spacious building, but the exhibits are only on the 3rd floor. What was on display was very good quality, but considering the number of artefacts in they say are in the museums collection I was hoping to see more on display.

It's a small museum, but very nice to see the history. You can also make a cool postcard stamp to remember your visit.

It’s pretty but super far!!! Went twice and with different weather (rainy and sunny) and it was total hell! You gotta climb the hill and then lots and lots of stairs. Also, inside you must go barefoot and the stairs are impossible to climb safely, they’re tiny, horizontal and it’s specially dangerous because it’s packed. You must avoid if you have children, are older and/or are fat cause it’s truly impossible and inaccessible.

Beautiful castle and grounds that you walk through to get to the main building. It is very well preserved and stepping in you can really feel the history in the floor boards.

An excellent example of a 17th Century Japanese castle and fortifications. Steep climb and stairs to get the castle and plenty of view points over the city . Once inside there are steep stairs to the top but fantastic views over the city . The history is explained at many locations throughout the grounds and on the way up the castle

The icon of Kochi - Kochi Castle is recognized as one of the national buildings in Japan. The castle was rebuilt a few hundred years ago as the original building was destroyed by war. - There are multiple levels in the castle keep, and there are introductions about everything of the castle including it’s history, how it was built, special features to aid battles, as well as other castles in Japan. - You are advised to climb up to the top level of the castle keep through the steep stairs to enjoy a magnificent 360-degree view of Kochi city.

Simply gorgeous castle, we didn't go inside (we had already climbed up and down Osaka Castle's 7 flights, and several temples by that time), but the surrounding grounds around the wall were enough for me and my husband. Please note, you don't need the same birdseye Pic for fb/IG as thousands of others to post. Take the road less traveled and see a quieter version of an historic site. Beside most - not all - castles are replicas, so you're not standing in the footsteps of those passed. There are so many nooks of beauty in Japan, enjoy your own tailored experience!

OMG This is utterly stunning to visit. From entry to exit it is phenomenal. An onsite into the era. Take your time, try to be here early in the day as the castle gets small as you climb higher.

We visited Kochi castle whilst on vacation work family. Beware, there are many steps to get up to the summit. Before you go inside you must remove your shoes, they gave a shoe storage area. Then equally challenging steps inside the castle. To get up to the top floors the steps are at least double to triple a normal step. So cool to see when you reach the top though! There are also cool models and artifacts as you go up each floor.

Interesting castle to visit. You can walk around the grounds and inside the castle. When I went it cost 850 YEN to go inside the castle - only about $5 US with the current exchange rate.

Went to the castle , if you have any mobility issues this will not be the best place for you . It’s a steep climb to the castle and then when in the steps are very steep . Really warm when we were there . Lots to see in the castle and great info boards . Views are great from the top

It's a rare Japanese 'castle' built in the early 1600s. On a hill, the walk up could be challenging for less mobile types as there are many steps. There are ramps as well, but I didn't use them. You have to remove your shoes to walk the main building, but to see a place actually built as seen in movies was fascinating. There are great views of the city from the very top. But, if the steps outside are too much, don't try it.I thought it was worth the trip.

Right next to a popular walking shopping street. Easy to find and a can't miss attraction in Kochi. The castle, the articulated cut pine trees and bushes are an awe feeling to look at.

This was awesome loved it. Beautiful castle amazing inside

One of the most beautiful castles of Japan. Very nicely kept in original state. From the top of the castle you have a great view over the city. Have an icecream in the courtyard from the old lady that makes the icecream herself.

One of the great castle we’ve been in Japan aside from what we saw in Sendai and Osaka. It’s got more of its original materials plus you can enjoy the very top floor and it’s awesome view especially during fall.

20250323 We came here due to recommendation from event booth in local travel exhibition. It was the first time we tried a half cooked sashimi. Quite funny taste. Just the over busy day made it hard to enjoy more.

Mr A was slightly apprehensive but persuaded him to give another local market a go! Atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were very helpful. Although not on show, when you get to the counter they bring out an English translation of the menu. WS fun watching behind the counter and also the automatic lager dispensers! Recommend you get there early for lunch - we arrived around 11am - one area was really full but we managed to get seats in another. Another tip - if you’re lucky enough to find seat (or if you’re early and it looks like seats won’t be a problem) ensure you put a hat or something on the table place where you plan to sit - thus worked a treat and was what locals were doing. We went for the fried Eels, fried seaweed and of course the legendary Seared Bonito (fish of Mackerel and Tuna family). It was yummy, Mr A even said do too! 😁🙌

We went at dinner time and it was very crowded and took us a while to get a table. Other than that, the seared bonito is delicious and the smokiness paired with salt elevates the taste. Imoten is tasty too.

Incredible katsuo!! They braise the meat right in front of you, which is very fun to watch. The location is fun, at the very center of the busy market. I got the sauce and salt set, which lets you try both flavors. Both the sauce and salt were delicious, but I preferred the salt. After you're done eating, just leave the trays and dishes at the table and the staff will clear them away.

Very nice to visit and here you can take the signature 饺子 and 烤鱼！

Great place for some cheap local eats definitely coming back here for more!

Yeah nah, we had the bonito tataki set. It was entertaining to watch it being prepped and cooked, it was nicely presented, but the best was yet to come - the eating. Fantastic falls short of describing the eating experience.

Restaurant that has a selection of local specialty dishes and drinks available. Staff speak limited English, but they have an English menu and were able to offer some good recommendations. Pricing is on the high side.

Is one of famous sushi restaurants in Kochi,delicious and fresh all the sashimi,great taste

Good food but quite expensive

Great place. Good food.

Delicious

so disappointed.

Very accommodating staff. The quality of the gods was awesome for the price!

Easy to get to and from the beach by bus about 1 and hour. Costing ¥800 from the station. Bus number S3 from the station or on route . A pleasant little place but I was expecting to go for a swim but swimming is not aloud. There are walks around and some history plus some souvenir shops and restaurants.

A beautiful beach but please note you cannot swim here! Visited on a hot & sunny day in May. Great to walk around & look at the attractions of the area & plenty food options too. Easily spent half a day here :)

Best experience ever. The beach is simply gorgeous. A must if you are in Kochi.

Nice beach, but not for swimming. I was surprised to read that on the board. Anyway, you can wash your feet after tracking, which I did.:)

The sea was an incredibly deep blue, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It reminded me of the classic “Japan Blue” color. Absolutely stunning!

I came here to see the commemorative statue of Sakamoto Ryoma and the museum dedicated to him. The beach is free and so is the statue. The beach itself is amazingly clean and you can see and hear the crashing waves clearly. There is also a short cut through the forest to reach the museum. If you are coming via My-U Bus and prefer walking down slopes than up, then you might want to drop at the museum first, visit it and make your way down.

Took the My-Yu bus bus there. The one day pass costs 1000yen and the beach is the last stop. Lots of visitors . Great to gaze at the Pacific ocean while walking on the beach. After that we went to have a view of Sakamoto Ryoma, rather majestic and authoritative. There are gift shops and snack shops to visit. If you are interested, you can also visit the aquarium.

During my visit, I had the opportunity to climb up and get a closer look at the Sakamoto Ryoma statue for only 100 yen. Although the climb was somewhat unstable, it was well worth it as it provided a fantastic view of the sea from the top. Overall, it was a great experience.

This place has a wonderful scenery! If you plan to go there better if you go early . It has a free bus/taxi ride and an amazing beach.

On March 27, 2023, my wife and I drove here to see the Statue. Apart from its elevation, the Statue isn’t big. We were disappointed. Anyhow, I captured a cinematic moment.

Must visit venue! Katsurahama!! Compact but amazing sights to walk around. Easy and quick by rent-a-car.

Kochi Prefecture in Japan is famous for a samurai namely Sakamoto Ryoma. He was the most influencial and popular historical figure in Japan. Throughout the Kochi Prefecture you can find a numbers of statues of him. Sakamoto Ryoma Statue in Katsurahama is the biggest one.

Beautiful big statue.

I was really happy to see the statue of the great Sakamoto Ryoma.

You can feed to sea turtles, penguins, otardiiae, fishes, etc, if you visit the aquarium in proper time.

Located next to the ocean and many other attractions but isn’t as big as many other aquariums but is still a nice experience overall

It amazing place,relaxing places,no.1 sightseeing in Kochi ken

I am shocked that people still go to watch the dolphin shows. It is not right to take these intelligent, kind and beautiful creatures from where they belong and put them in small tanks, starve them so they would do the tricks and enterentain the public. I've seen how these guys clean the tanks, and they empty them completely to clean them while the dolphins are gasping! This is not right on so many levels! Please do not buy the tickets to the dolphins' shows!

Dolphins are truly gentle creatures. They are sentient social animals with consciousness probably like ours. How happy would they be living in captivity? Dolphins in aquarium is like a person in prison! 😕😕😕

The aquarium is small and a little bit dirty. The place does not have air conditioning. Also 1200¥ entrance fee for such a small aquarium is too much.

Small aquarium. There is no English guide. But it’s worth to visit their kind employees. I’ll miss kenta gun.

Very beautiful and calm, one of my favorite temples so far. And the pretty Japanese garden that is on temple grounds was absolutely worth a visit.

There is a special exhibition of paintings to celebrate the 1300th anniversary of the Temple. The sound system is bearly audible, perhaps to enjoy only in solitude. The little garden nearly looks like a painting, too. The Temple itself has nice setting. A pity the great Buddha images were cordoned off so one can only seen them from quite a distance. The other Buddha images are outdoor, and one can see them closely.

A beautiful temple with a stunning garden setting. Well worth the visit

About 30-min bus ride from Kochi station, the place has the unique ambiance of a Japanese Buddhist temple that is pleasantly quiet and calm. If you plan to use My Yu Bus ticket (a day ticket for Yu Bus and Kochi tram), it is definitely worth coming up here after exploring Kochi city area.

We took the My-Yu bus to visit this Temple 31 of the Shikoku 88 temples pilgrimage tour. Impressive, awesome temple. Do not miss the 5 story pagoda.

Great temple to visit, the temple grounds are serene and beautiful. Even though we visited Kochi for just a day and a half, I was very happy that we came out to Chikurin-ji. Good to combine with the botanical garden that exceeded our expectations as well

Beautiful grounds with very little foot traffic which makes getting pictures very easy. The pagoda is located on a hill to the east of Kochi. The road up is by way of a narrow, winding road. It is one way which makes it less stressful. There is parking on the down slope after the observation deck parking area so there isn’t really a need to walk down to the pagoda from there.

The actual best restaurant to try bonito in Kochi, Highly recommend it :)))

I love the fact that we get to pick the fish skewer and grill it ourselves. Meal is simple, with or without set. Fresh bonito fish with either wasabi or salt. Simple yet good. The souvenir shop nearby is good as well, you get to sample food before buying them.

We arrived in Kochi by cruise and was recommended to try the Katsuo Tataki, and was not disappointed. It was a fun experience to cook the fish over the open fire, (well directed by the chef there). And the taste was amazing, the searing process really bringing a great dimension to the flavour. They catered well for my kids, which has been a consistent plus in our time in Japan.

Make your bonito seared on fire, with some help by the staff, bonito plate only or with rice and miso soup combo. It was really good! Fresh and soft. Garnish with onions and garlic went well but best taste simply with a pinch of salt.

This was so cool, get to sear your own katsuo here. You get a big block, they tell you what to do. There's a board on the wall that has English and the directions to you are pretty minimal (hold it here, turn it over, etc) and pretty easy to understand by hand movements so you don't have to know Japanese. Then they serve it with garnishes, I opted for garnishes only and it came to under $9 which is an incredible bargain. The only knock on this place is there is no direct bus or train here so you'll have to take a taxi or walk a bit to a bus stop.

This place serves excellent tataki and the experience cooking our own tataki was a complete joy. Go there early because there will be a line. Bon appetite!

Very unique experience with reasonable price! Must go for ones who are visiting Kochi. There are also a good market right beside it.

Huge menu and good portion sizes. Little pricy but your paying for quantity and quality.

(Translated by Google) It's a rather stylish restaurant that mainly serves pasta, but they serve more than just pasta. The interior is spacious and there are plenty of seats, so you can enjoy your meal at your own pace. However, since it's a popular restaurant, there may be a wait depending on the time of day, such as on holidays. There is a wide variety of dishes, and they are all delicious. (Original) パスタがメインのちょとオシャレなお店になりますがパスタだけではないです。 店内も広く席数もあり、ゆっくり食事ができます。ただ人気店なので休日など時間帯によっては待ち時間があります。 品数も豊富でどれも美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) I had breakfast at Pasta Cafe Hachinomori in Houei-cho, Kochi City. As rumored to be a popular restaurant with lines forming before it even opens, the moment I entered I was enveloped in the aroma of home-roasted coffee, which made me feel very happy. This time I ordered a set of mentaiko mayo toast and a fried egg. The aroma of the seaweed, the umami of the mentaiko mayo, and the mellowness of the yolk were exquisite, and even the accompanying soup and small pasta were carefully prepared. The interior of the restaurant has a warm atmosphere that matches the brick exterior, making it a great place to spend a relaxing morning. They also sell coffee beans, so you can enjoy the taste of Hachinomori at home, which is a nice perk. This is a restaurant that will satisfy both your heart and stomach in the morning, making it one you'll want to visit again and again. (Original) 高知市宝永町にある「パスタカフェ 八乃森」さんでモーニングをいただきました。 開店前から行列ができる人気店という噂通り、入店した瞬間から自家焙煎コーヒーの香りに包まれ、とても幸せな気分になります。 今回は明太マヨトーストと目玉焼きのセットを注文。海苔の香りと明太マヨの旨味、黄身のまろやかさが絶妙で、付け合わせのスープや小パスタまで丁寧に作られていました。 店内はレンガ造りの外観に合う温もりのある雰囲気で、ゆったりと朝の時間を過ごせます。 コーヒー豆の販売もあるので、自宅でも八乃森の味を楽しめるのが嬉しいポイント。 朝から心もお腹も満たされる、何度でも通いたくなるお店です。

(Translated by Google) I visited for dinner and ordered the "Chicken Steak with Ponzu Vegetables & Mushroom and Bacon Japanese-Style Pasta Set." Wow, it was a huge portion! It was a relief since I was starving. However, the pasta noodles seemed a bit powdery—it didn't have the smooth, chewy texture I was hoping for. The pizza dough also felt a bit sticky, rather than crispy. The seasoning itself was delicious, but the chicken steak, on the other hand, was fragrant, juicy, and very satisfying. The coffee and strawberry ice cream after the meal were a subtle but satisfying combination that complemented each other perfectly. 🍓 The restaurant's interior is a warm, log cabin-style dining room. Several chefs skillfully prepare dishes in the open kitchen, and the finished dishes are brought to the table one after another. 👨‍🍳 The sofa seats, where Western pop music plays, were comfortable and I enjoyed a relaxing time. The clientele is primarily middle-aged to senior citizens, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Payment methods accepted are credit card, PayPay, and Rakuten Pay. The restaurant is very clean, and the restrooms are comfortable Western-style toilets. While the pasta is a bit disappointing, it's rare to find a restaurant where you can enjoy a pasta, pizza, and meat set for under 2,000 yen. For those who value value, dinner at Pasta Cafe Hachinomori is definitely worth considering. October 2025 (Original) 夕食時に訪れ「若鶏ステーキのポン酢野菜 & キノコとベーコンの和風パスタセット」を注文。おー、すっごいボリューム！はらぺこなので助かります。ただ、パスタの麺がやや粉っぽいような…求めたいつるっとした弾力が感じられません。ピザ生地もカラッと焼き上がっている感じではなく、少しべたべたしている印象。味付け自体は美味しいのですが…一方の若鶏ステーキは香ばしくジューシーで満足度高め。食後のコーヒーといちごアイスもささやかながら、お互いを活かし合う心地よい組み合わせでした🍓。 店内は温もり宿るログハウス風のダイニング。オープンキッチンでは数人のシェフが手際よく調理を進め、出来上がった料理が次々とテーブルへ運ばれていきます👨‍🍳。洋楽ポップスが流れるソファ席は居心地が良く、ゆったりとした時間を過ごせました。客層はミドル世代からシニア層が中心で、落ち着いた雰囲気です。 支払い方法はクレジットカードやPayPay、楽天ペイが利用可能です。清潔感は十分あり、お手洗いは快適な洋式トイレです。 パスタに少し惜しさはあるものの、パスタ・ピザ・お肉のセットを2000円以下で楽しめるお店はなかなか貴重💴。コスパ重視派には「パスタカフェ 八乃森」のディナー、十分に検討する価値ありだと思います。2025年10月

(Translated by Google) They open at 8am and I went for breakfast. I was traveling and found this place online, but when I arrived 10 minutes early there were already about 10 people in line. Once they opened, I was seated smoothly and my order was also smooth. It's such good value for money that I don't even think I'd wait in line. There was a wide variety of menu items with different combinations, and the food was delicious. (Original) 8時オープンでモーニングを利用しました。旅行で行ってネットで見つけていきましたが、10分前に着いてもう10人くらい並んでいました。開店後はスムーズに席にとうしてもらって注文もスムーズ。これは並んでくるなと思うようなコスパの良さです。組み合わせ違いでメニューの種類も多く、味も良かったです。

(Translated by Google) I went for breakfast for the first time in a few years. I ordered the basil toast breakfast. It came with soup, pasta, salad, etc. The portion was small, but I think it was quite reasonable. The coffee tasted average. It took less than five minutes to be served. One thing that bothered me was the dim lighting inside the restaurant. It wasn't so bad around the entrance, but there were no seats available, so I was shown to a room in the back. As other people have written, the attitude of the staff was not great. It was disappointing in many ways. (Original) 数年ぶりにモーニングに行きました。 バジル？トーストモーニングにしました。 スープ、パスタ、サラダなどが付いています。 ボリュームは少なめですが、わりとリーズナブルだとは思います。 コーヒーの味は普通。 提供時間は5分かからないくらいでした。 気になったのが、店内の照明の暗さ。 入り口周辺はそうでもないですが、席が空いていないので、奥の部屋へ案内されました。 店員さんの態度というのも他の方が書かれているように良いものではないですね。 色々と残念でした。

tosa geisya style! Asia NO1 hard core OZASHIKI. oriental &　original! Top of top drunks!

(Translated by Google) Thank you for your help in filming a travel program in Thailand. We were able to record scenes of gorgeous geisha dances and tatami play scenes. You can experience the depth of Japanese culture through traditional games and interactions. I think the elegant appearance and traditional culture of geishas was very interesting for the viewers. (Original) タイの旅番組のロケでお世話になりました。華やかな芸妓さんの舞踊やお座敷遊びのシーンを収録することができました。 伝統的な遊びや交流の様子を通じて、日本の文化の奥深さを体験することが出来ます。芸妓さんの優雅な姿と伝統的な文化は、視聴者の皆様にとっても大変興味深い内容だったかと思います。

(Translated by Google) I had lunch with the "Hamanagaka Kagura Gozen". It was a pleasure to slowly enjoy the delicious food during the lunch break, and I was satisfied with every dish. The staff were very kind and tried to interact with me, thiugh I couldn’t communicate in Japanese, so there wasn’t much conversation. Last year, I had a "Sabachi Ryori" dinner for single person. Although I couldn't experience cultural activities like the "Zashiki Yu" due to my lack of Japanese, I had made a reservation with a Nakai who spoke excellent English, so I was able to enjoy my dinner. Some might think the price is high, but from my personal experience, there isn’t much difference compared to Hirome Market (my appetite isn’t very large). However, the food here is more delicate. I would like to have lunch here at least once every time I visit Kochi. (Since I don’t drink alcohol, I can’t comment on the drinks.) This time, I enjoyed the Hamanagahana Kagura Gozen for lunch. It was a lot of fun to sit back and enjoy delicious food during my lunch break, and everything was very satisfying. The staff were very kind and tried to interact with me, but unfortunately I couldn't speak much Japanese, so I couldn't have much conversation with them. Last year, when I had dinner for one person, I was unable to experience culture such as tatami play because I didn't understand Japanese, but I had made a reservation with a Nakai who was fluent in English, so we had fun chatting with each other during the meal. I was able to eat while I was there. Some people may think that the prices are high, but from my personal point of view, I don't feel there is a big difference compared to Hirome Market (I don't eat much). However, this is a sophisticated dish. If time permits, I would like to eat here at least once every time I come to Kochi. (I don't drink alcohol, so I can't comment on alcohol.) (Original) I had lunch with the "濱長花神楽御膳". It was a pleasure to slowly enjoy the delicious food during the lunch break, and I was satisfied with every dish. The staff were very kind and tried to interact with me, thiugh I couldn’t communicate in Japanese, so there wasn’t much conversation. Last year, I had a "皿鉢料理" dinner for single person. Although I couldn't experience cultural activities like the "座敷遊" due to my lack of Japanese, I had made a reservation with a Nakai who spoke excellent English, so I was able to enjoy my dinner. Some might think the price is high, but from my personal experience, there isn’t much difference compared to Hirome Market (my appetite isn’t very large). However, the food here is more delicate. I would like to have lunch here at least once every time I visit Kochi. (Since I don’t drink alcohol, I can’t comment on the drinks.) 今回は昼食で濱長花神楽御膳を楽しみました。昼休みの時間にゆっくりと美味しい料理を味わえるのはとても楽しいことで、どれも満足のいくものでした。 スタッフの方々はとても親切に接してくださり、私と積極的に交流しようとしてくれましたが、残念ながら日本語が話せないため、あまり多くの会話はできませんでした。 昨年、ディナーで楽しんだ一人用の皿鉢料理では、日本語が分からず座敷遊びなどの文化を体験できませんでしたが、英語が堪能な仲居さんに予約をしていたので、食事中は楽しく会話しながら食事をすることができました。 価格が高めだと思う方もいるかもしれませんが、個人的な観点では、ひろめ市場と比べて特に大きな差は感じません（私の食量はあまり多くないので）。 ただ、こちらは精緻な料理です。 もし時間が許すなら、毎回高知に来た際には、少なくとも一度はここで食事をしたいと思っています。 （私はお酒を飲まないので、お酒についてはコメントできません。）

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I've been there, but the restaurant is no longer as busy as it once was, and is now dominated by silence, which makes it all the more enjoyable. I'm glad that the quality of the food has improved compared to before and is now at a level that makes it reasonable for the price. The proprietress, who has been working hard for a long time, has finally taken over as president, and I can feel that her desire to do her best has been conveyed to other employees.The quality of the service has also improved compared to before. For example, Mr. Nakai's style of dressing has become more sophisticated, even with his obi. This time, I didn't ask for a shamisen, but you can also invite geishas, ​​so I hope they do their best to make it one of the few places where you can have fun in style. (Original) 久しぶりに訪れたが、かつての賑わいがなく静寂が支配する料亭となり、それはそれで味わい深い。 料理の質は以前よりも良化して、値段に納得できるレベルになったのは嬉しい。 ずっと苦労してきた女将がようやく社長に就任して、頑張っていこうという気持ちが他の従業員に伝わっているのを感じるサービスもまた以前よりも質か向上している。例えば中居さんの帯一つとっても着こなしが洗練されてきた。 今回は、三味線をお願いしなかったが、芸妓さんも呼べるので粋に遊べる数少ない場所として頑張ってほしい

(Translated by Google) This is probably my third time here, and at first I thought it would be a bit difficult to get into because of the atmosphere, but I was satisfied with the price and the price. I think lunch is extremely cost-effective. Thank you for the feast. (Original) 三回目になるかな、最初は雰囲気的に敷居が高いイメージでしたが 値段とも そんな事もなく 満足しました。 昼のランチ めちゃめちゃ費用対効果高いと思います。 ごちそう様でした。

(Translated by Google) I came to Kochi from Osaka and had a delicious meal at Hamanaga-san. I had reserved a seat on the 3rd floor, but I was allowed to have just one drink on the terrace on the 1st floor while looking at Kagami River. I went during Golden Week in May, so the weather was nice and I was seated on the terrace with a nice atmosphere. We were able to enjoy our meal very much as the food and drinks were served according to our wishes. I was able to try seared bonito, utsubo dishes, and chambara shellfish specialties unique to Kochi Prefecture, and the taste was completely different from anything else. This time, I talked with the landlady and the geisha while drinking sake. He was a very friendly person and time passed very quickly. I will stop by again when I go to Kochi Prefecture. (Original) 大阪から高知にきて濱長さんで美味しいご飯を食べました。 3階で席を予約させてもらっていましたが、1階のテラスで鏡川を見ながら1杯だけ飲ませてもらいました。5月のGWに行ったので気候も良く、雰囲気の良いテラス席でした。 お食事でも私たちの希望に沿った料理、お酒を出していただきとても堪能させてもらいました。 高知県ならではの鰹のたたき・うつぼ料理・チャンバラ貝の特産品を食べれて他と味が全く違うものでした。 今回は女将さんや芸妓さんとも日本酒を飲みながらお話をしました。とても気さくな方で時間が経つのがとても早かったです。 高知県に行った際はまた寄らせていただきます。

(Translated by Google) When I come to Kochi, I come here thinking of sabachi cuisine. A long-established restaurant that has been passed down through the generations of a large proprietress, a proprietress, and a young proprietress. I was impressed by the dishes and the way the bonito was shaped! We had a great time watching Kochi geisha dances, playing tatami rooms, hashiken, chrysanthemum flowers, Berobero no Kami, etc.!! (Original) 高知に来たら皿鉢料理と思いこちらに 大女将、女将、若女将と受け継がれた老舗の料亭 料理も皿鉢料理と鰹の姿造りに感動！ 高知芸者の踊りとお座敷遊び、ハシケン、菊の花、ベロベロの神様などなど、楽しく過ごさせていただきました!!

It is only the red bridge in the way toward the popular castle and park. Beautiful setting and Japanese style display for great photo opp.

ppl surprised the red bridge is really small than expected. ANPANMAN stone sculpture can be found nearby the bridge.

Stop by for a quick photo. Popular landmark

It's a nice iconic bridge. It's old if you will see the floor bridge but I believe they're taking good care of it coz it won't last like that prettily until today. Easy to visit coz it's in the center of the town. Accessible to everyone. And since I visited during spring, it has pretty flowers everywhere! It's so nice!

A small cute red bridge near the shopping arcade. You’ll see a statute about the love story between a monk and a woman.

Harimayabashi is right nearby a hotel. It makes you ignoring easily that place. However, the water along the stream is clear enough and small stones wrapped by green sheet. Beautiful!

It's a small bridge that has historical importance to it. Also a popular meeting spot for the locals.

A small museum about Sakamoto Ryoma. It is interesting because it includes information about his family, which is not often mentioned when you hear about this historical figures. All information is in Japanese only though.

There is a free audio guide and storage service (hand carry luggages only) for foreign visitors. The 4D theatre inside the museum is quite interesting. Sadly, most of the illustrations are in Japanese only. Visitors should have some basic history knowledge before coming to this museum. It’s comics & book corner is lovely though.

This museum is so cool! I love all the features! And it has English feature for foreign tourists too! Love it so much and very educational ^^

A few free parking spaces available. The 4 faced theatre is interest

The Sakamoto Ryoma's Hometown Museum was informative, and the presentations, while focused on Ryoma's life and experiences, were diverse in content and style. We made heavy use of the free English language audio tour, without which we would not have learned nearly as much.

Lovely little museum with a gift shop with tons of funny Ryoma paraphernalia. There are two floors of exhibits and lots of animated/audio exhibits. Good for all ages but children will probably especially enjoy many of the exhibits. There seems to be an English guide but not much in the museum itself.

Good place to know more about the influential Japanese 坂本龍馬

A department store selling retail products and goods. Visit the floor for the Luck Rack where they have discounted clothing, purses, jewelry and miscellaneous items. Unfortunately at this section there are no tax free purchases.

Short day port stop on the Norwegian Jewel. Fun walking on our own after a shuttle bus to city for $15. Very clean and safe city.

There are food options in the basement such as Paul Bocuse and DONQ bakeries, with their lovely soft breads. There is also an orange jello and drink stall a few steps away, with a wide variety of orange types. The unagi store seems popular while the tempura and sushi stalls are pretty good. On the 5th floor, there is a Man Unagi store which is really good. There are also discounted goods on the same floor such as Levis jeans and other apparel and some cookware and plateware.

This is a very nice department store in Kochi. Beware the high prices, but everything is really lovely inside. The staff were so kind that they walked us downstairs, through the building, across the street and around the corner to show us to an ATM we had asked directions to, and they got nothing out of it. That's just amazing service, and applaud them.

We found a stray kitten near the station. The staff at the pet store gave us an old cage for free to carry him in. Thank you for giving this little cat a chance at life!

Kochi is a very laidback prefecture in Japan, though they have Daimaru mall with great staff.

I like Daimaru ,expensive but great quality,there are food event sometimes,from different places.everything is Quality.

After the mall’s expansion, AEON mall Kochi is the biggest shopping mall in Shikoku. What used to be the “Picnic Court” is now called “Food Forest”— where you can choose from various food stalls and more seats are available for more comfortable dining experience.

Very big mall to shopping, at least 2 hours spent here. Visit: 21.3.25

It’s Sunday, 6/22/2025, at 1:30PM and everyone in town gathers here to eat. Many food options are available. All the moms seem to be feeding their kids McDonald’s foods though.

Aeon Mall in Kochi, Japan, is a great place to spend a day out. It's like its own little town with shops, places to eat, and things to do. The atmosphere is nice and modern, so it's a good spot to hang out and explore. You'll find all kinds of stores there – from clothing shops to electronics stores and places to buy household stuff. And if you get hungry, they've got plenty of restaurants and food courts with all sorts of options. The best part is that there's stuff to do for everyone. You can catch a movie, play some games, or let the kids run around in the play areas. It's a fun place to go with friends or family. So if you're in Kochi and looking for something to do, definitely check out Aeon Mall. It's a cool spot to spend some time and see what's happening.

I like kochi super market food is fresh can choose a lot of products and price affordable too

One stop shopping. Our friend in daily life.

Even just the supermarket is impressive - multi-levels, huge selection, and some really good prices. It's like a Walmart, except far higher quality goods. Wonderful produce with a wide selection and particularly fine delicious fruits.

A nice take on a traditional Irish pub. Excellent local craft beer selection. The Irish stew wasn't very authentic, and having pizza on the menu was an interesting take. But the Shephard's Pie was fantastic and very authentic. Being inside the shopping "mall" hurt the experience a bit.

You can get the best Czech beer here! Great place to enjoy the time with your friends. :)

Happy hour till 7pm. 20% discount for some beers.

Food is great, beer selection is pretty good. Laid back place for conversation, not sports or music

Wouldn’t order food but good to come for the 5-7pm happy hour of 20% off all drinks and they have a good selection of beers.

Good place, great drink and food selection. Price is reasonable. Staff is friendly and kind.

Fantastic food with a friendly staff that is accommodating and knowing all about the beers.

Meal set was amazing, we had the sashimi set. Fish was especially fresh. Service was excellent. A great place to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend.

Not bad👍🏻

A elegant place where can enjoy Japanese Kaiseki seafood cuisine (especially bonito).

Great local food! Obviously don't miss the "Wooden" fish 鰹木魚 special The Kansai style 鯖sushi is also very special The fried chicken leg is very good!

Excellent food. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Wonderful set course Japanese meal beautifully

Fisch very fresh, very good

We made a reservation for lunch. The taste is fine. But it seems that there is only 1 senior lady serving the whole restaurant. After lunch, we tried to get reimbursed for our parking ticket as mentioned on the website but the lady refused to do so as we accidentally parked at the cooperative parking space and so it can’t be reimbursed.

Amazing traditional Japanese cuisine

(Translated by Google) I visited with my family for lunch. Cook in a dish bowl. We invited the parents of a first-time high school student from outside the prefecture to have dinner with seven of us. The request was for a meal unique to Kochi, so the guests were very pleased with the plate filled with seafood and mountain delicacies. When making a reservation, we were able to consult with you regarding your dietary preferences. We also talked about the 155-year-old historical shop and the rooms. Thank you, Chairman. The food was shared with us and we were treated with great hospitality. I was very satisfied with what I saw, ate, and felt. I was able to take the sake thief that they prepared for me as a souvenir. thank you very much. Thank you. (Original) 家族で、お昼に伺いました。 皿鉢でおきゃく。 県外から初来高の嫁ぎ先の両親をお招きして７人で会食しました。 高知ならではの食事と言うリクエストでしたので、海の幸、山の幸盛りだくさんの皿鉢はとても喜んでいただきました。 予約の際、お料理の希望など相談も受け付けてもらいました。 創業１５５年の歴史あるお店、お部屋の説明などお話しもしていただきました。会長さまありがとうございます。 お料理も取り分けていただき、素晴らしい接遇です。 見て食べて、感じて、大満足でした。 用意してくださった、酒盗もお土産にできました。ありがとうございました。 感謝です。

(Translated by Google) We were a group of five men and dined here while sightseeing in Kochi. We accidentally booked a table for four instead of five, but the staff kindly accommodated us at short notice. It was completely our fault, and the staff seemed apologetic. We are truly grateful to them. The food was absolutely delicious. We had heard good things about the place, but each and every dish exceeded our expectations, leaving us with nothing but "delicious." We ordered the ¥12,000 course, plus beer and sake. When we ran out of drinks, a kimono-clad waitress refilled our cups. Apparently, it's the Kochi way to pour for the waitress and drink with them. One or two waitresses were available for our group of five, and the talkative young waitress, Ms. T, kept the atmosphere lively with a sense of humor. We were usually with a group of people who like to drink at a leisurely pace, but the atmosphere was so enjoyable that the drinks tasted amazing and we emptied the whole bottle in one go. Still, for just under 20,000 yen per person, we felt it was an incredible deal to be able to enjoy pleasant conversation with beautiful staff as they poured us drinks and eat delicious food. It seems like a prestigious restaurant, but they treated us just as well despite our casual attire. I slightly regretted not wearing a collar, but the staff said it didn't matter. If you're visiting Takamatsu city for sightseeing or have a company kaiseki dinner, I highly recommend making a reservation here. I was very satisfied with the quality of the food compared to the price, the service of the staff, and the appearance of the restaurant. It's a wonderful memory from my trip to Kochi. Thank you. (Original) 男5人旅で、高知観光の際にこちらに利用させていただきました。こちらの間違いで5人予約するべきところを4人で予約してしまったのに、お店の方がご親切に急遽、5人分の席を用意して下さりました。完全にこちらの落ち度なのに、お店の方がむしろ申し訳なさそうにしておりました。お店の方には感謝しかございません。 とにかくお料理が美味で、事前情報で評判は聞いておりましたが、想像を超えてくる1品1品の料理に「美味しい」としか言葉が出ませんでした。 値段に関しては1万2000円のコースを頼み、そこからビールや日本酒料金がプラスされます。 飲み物が無くなると、着物を着た店員さんが杯に注いでくれます。店員さんにも注いで一緒に飲むのが高知流らしいです。5人に対して1名から2名の方が対応してくれるのですが、口が達者な若い女性店員Tさんがその場を面白おかしく盛り上げてくれました。いつもはゆっくり飲むメンツでしたが、すごく楽しい空間だったのでお酒もとても美味しく感じ、グイグイ瓶が空になりました。 それでも1人2万円弱で綺麗な店員さんと楽しく会話しながらお酒を注いでもらい、美味しい料理を食べられるのは破格だなと感じます。 格式高いお店のようですが、ラフな格好で赴いても変わらぬ対応をして下さりました。できれば襟のある服装で行けばよかったと少し後悔してましたが、お店の方は気にしてないとおっしゃってくださりました。 高松市街に観光で訪れた際や会社での会席がある際は是非1度予約してみてほしいです。 値段に対するお料理のレベルも店員さんの対応もお店の外観も全て大満足でした。 高知観光が素敵な思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) I was finally able to go to Tokugetsuro, a prestigious restaurant in Kochi that I had been curious about since I had been to Kochi many times, for the first time. The young husband and his acquaintances asked for it, and the wonderful plate dishes came out with a ton of gusto, and they danced with joy. It's even more amazing since it serves 8 people. The bonito is seared with salt. The tuna is medium fatty. The sea bream had plenty of sole and was so delicious. Dorome can be eaten raw, and the homemade Shuto is not too salty and is extremely delicious. Mr. Nakai will serve you a variety of dishes served in elaborate bowls. On the other hand, Mr. Nakai and his friends shared the drinks as well. I see, is that so? Eight of us ate too much and had a great time playing chrysanthemums. In fact, I realized once again that this type of play is what has enlivened Kochi's culture. I'll definitely come again~ I'm looking forward to it. (Original) 何度も高知に行ってて気になってた高知の名門料亭、言わずと知れた得月楼にようやく、初めて行けた。 若旦那と知り合いがお願いして素晴らしい皿鉢料理がドドーンと豪快に出てきて狂喜乱舞。8人分なので尚更凄い。 カツオは塩たたき。マグロは中トロ。鯛が平目が存分にあって美味すぎる。 ドロメがぬたで食べられたり、自家製の酒盗が塩辛くなくて超絶美味い。 手の込んだ皿鉢に盛られた数々の料理は中居さんが取り分けてくれる。 その一方で中居さん達もお酒をお裾分けで飲んじゃうというでき方。なるほど、そういうことか。 8人でたらふく食べ過ぎて菊の花をやって大盛り上がり。いやはややはりこんな遊びが高知の文化を盛り上げてきたのだとあらためて実感。 また必ずくるぞ〜　楽しみ。

You don't get to choose a ramen flavor here, just the size. This is the charm of this place though, and what they do have, they do well. The portions are large for Japanese size, and is within 2 minutes distance from Kochi station, so location is convenient as well. The good prep was quick, and is easy to visit alone, in a rush, or even if you want to relax someplace. The restaurant is small, though, so it is not recommended for larger parties.

I have to give credit to the shop that offers only one dish - claypot ramen - and you have 3 portion sizes ro choose plus 3 sizes of plain rice. As far as the taste is concerned, the noodle was great but the soup was too salty for my taste though it went well with the rice. I was told Japanese ramen soup is generally salty. There was a fresh egg, a bit of vegetable, very thin slices of fish paste and some small pieces of chicken meat that were very tough. Good for a quick meal in a chilly day.

Simple meal but extremely tasty. This is the local Kochi dish. Soup was great and noodles were cooked to al dante. I love it. It is so good that I ate it twice in three days. The claypot was served piping hot. Unforgettable.

Very simple menu. If you are looking for a local Kochi experience, you can consider this. Be prepared to eat a lot of noodles and/or rice but not much meat or veggie

We are no Ramen experts at all but it was the best Ramen soup we have had so far during our journey in Japan. It tasted very delicious. Thank you for this amazing meal !

Nice simple local restaurant. They serve only 鍋焼きラメン (Nabeyaki ramen) the local 'soul food' of Kochi. Delicious, quick and friendly service. On a side note this is one of the few nabeyaki ramen shops that open in the evening. For some reason a lot of the other ones I've searched for around close at 3pm??

Quick service, good hospitality and welcoming atmosphere.
