This experience was hard to put into words. We were in Japan from America for two weeks of business and managed to squeak in some sight-seeing. About half that time was in Kochi, which was enchanting, to say the least. Our host surprised us with an arrangement of the temple monks giving us a private and personalized traditional prayer ceremony in the temple. They even allowed us to have it filmed. The experience was so ... I really don't have the words ... personal, I suppose, that we have yet to post the video. We travel the world and have never had an experience like this that brought us so close to another culture. My advice is simple: Go there. Do it. You will never forget it. We are looking forward to returning to experience Chikurinji Temple again soon! Dan Shinder CEO Drum Talk TV

The Kochi Sunday Market is a must if in the area. I altered my plans for a trip just to make sure I would be in Kochi on a Sunday. Prior to going, I read that the market has been going on for hundreds of years. It starts near the castle on a single road that stretches over a kilometer. I started early here, around 7:30 am and spent a couple hours here walking up and down looking at everything the vendors had to offer. For the most part the market was full of fresh produce. But there were other vendors here selling goods like knives, antiques, plants, etc. There were a few food vendors here as well, I tried the tempura sweet potatoes and went back for seconds, they were great! Markets, are a great way to immerse yourself in local cultures and the Kochi Market should not be missed.

Tosa Terrace not only has sightseeing pamphlets - it also has a business center and provides accommodation information. The building is also a good venue to relax as there are cedar, hinokia cypress, and Tosa shikui plants inside.

I've been here in the afternoon, after visiting Kochi Castle (just few minutes walking from it). This shopping arcade has a lot of different shops, cafes and restaurants. If you're looking for souvenirs, if you want to take a coffee and relax, or if you want to try the famous bonito fish, this is the right place.
