It is home to the Shimanto River, known as the last clear stream of Japan due to its pristine waters. Kochi's rugged coastline along the Pacific Ocean, including the Muroto area, has been designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark. Visitors to Kochi can explore historical sites like Kochi Castle, one of the few remaining original castles in Japan, and enjoy local specialties such as Katsuo no Tataki, a dish made from seared bonito fish.
