Begin your private shore excursion with pickup directly from Kochi Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with other travelers, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

Begin at Katsurahama Beach, known for its beautiful coastline and connection to Sakamoto Ryoma. Continue to Kochi Castle, one of Japan’s few castles with both its original keep and main palace still standing. Then visit Hirome Market, a lively local market where you can enjoy Kochi specialties and local food.
If time permits, continue to the Godaisan area for panoramic views and a visit to historic Chikurinji Temple.

The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.
