A one-day plan to enjoy Kochi 🚗🌿

Introducing a one-day sightseeing plan to fully enjoy Kochi!

① Takahi Submerged Bridge (📷1-2)
The uppermost submerged bridge on the Shimanto River✨
A hidden gem of a submerged bridge where time passes slowly and with few tourists!
Cars are not allowed on the submerged bridge⚠️
There are restrooms and parking for several cars🚗

② Shikoku Karst (📷3-10)
A karst plateau stretching along the border between Kochi and Ehime prefectures,
one of Japan's three major karst regions✨

The views from the high altitudes of 1,000-1,500m above sea level are spectacular!!

The landscape of white limestone rocks, green grasslands, and grazing cows has been dubbed the "Switzerland of Japan"😌

Shikoku Karst is home to a small kitchen car cafe, "Karst Coffee,"
and sipping coffee while gazing at the magnificent mountains is exceptional!

By the way, it was really hard to put the cow cookies on! 🐄

⏰ Karst Coffee Business Hours
Mon-Fri 11:00-16:00 Sat, Sun, and Holidays 10:00-16:30
Closed December-March

Flowing almost through the center of Kochi Prefecture, the Niyodo River has repeatedly been selected as one of the rivers with the best water quality by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. Its beautiful blue waters and clarity have earned it the nickname "Niyodo Blue." 🫧
