Things to see and do Kōchi

Ryuga Cave is famous for its stalactites and stalagmites. It is one of the three largest in Japan. The circuit is one kilometer long and you will have to climb stairs and go through wet tunnels. The show is grandiose and the rooms are illuminated with multiple lights. An amphora seems to have been covered by sediments for more than 500 years and gives rise to all sorts of legends, such as that of a hermit monk who stayed there. At the end of your journey, you will find a museum.

This waterfall, located at the Niyodo River, attracts thousands of Japanese tourists every year. The blue of the water changes its hue according to the different rays of the sun, which would give, to this waterfall, an extremely romantic aspect. To get there, you will have to take a vertical path that is quite steep. The best time to enjoy the place is around noon. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear and clothing, for your own safety and comfort. Swimming is not allowed.

No need to go to Okinawa to enjoy beautiful beaches in Japan. Katsurahama is the proof. This pretty white sand beach, surrounded by many pine trees, will delight the amateurs. From the beach, you can also, from time to time, see fishing boats and fishermen coming back to the port with their nets full of fish. The place is highly recommended for contemplating the full moon. There is a cute little shrine at the tip of the beach. From here there is a beautiful view of the sea and the horizon.
