2025 Konan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#QuintessaCampaign Dainichi-ji Temple, also known as Kappa Temple, in Kurume Kappa-san welcomes you At this time of year, wind chimes 🎐 and cucumbers are hanging. We also visited the main hall and received a kappa-san stamp. It was a wonderful temple, and they lent out toys so that even small children wouldn't get bored.

#Overseas Travel #Japan #Kochi Prefecture The Kochi Prefecture Noichi Zoological Park in Konan City, Kochi Prefecture, was selected as the number one zoo in Japan by a travel website… Unlike ordinary zoos, this "animal park" in Kochi recreates the natural environment where many animals live, allowing you to freely observe the ecology of the animals in the park.. A great place for parent-child activities, highly recommended place👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 There are more than 100 species of wild animals ✅ There are many facilities in the park, such as restaurants, playgrounds and animal science museums.. A one-day parent-child activity can be arranged at Tateno City Zoo😎😎😎 address 738 Otani, Noichi-cho, Konan City, Kochi Prefecture

[Cottage Seaside Teyui] The moment we entered the room, we were both excited to say that this was our favorite villa ever! ! lol On the first floor, there was a Western-style living room and a twin bedroom. On the second floor, there was a Japanese-style bedroom and another tatami room. And what we were most looking forward to in this villa was the jacuzzi and the view overlooking the ocean. We spent the whole day drinking champagne in this jacuzzi and chatting away. It was the season for stink bugs, so we had a high chance of encountering them, but it was such a wonderful villa with such a beautiful view and jacuzzi that we didn't even notice. There are many bedrooms, so it's a great place for two generations or a group of friends. And yet, you can stay for around 25,000 yen, which is an appeal that other vacation rentals don't have. #luxuryhotel #greatview #coupletrip #valuehotel #kochi #withjacuzzi #gw2022jp

Heading to Kochi Airport from Tokyo. The Haneda-Kochi flight gate was changed to the wing terminal two hours before departure during bus transit. Thank you! 🙏 Lounge access was available as there was enough time. Although the flight departed slightly late, I arrived in Kochi in just over an hour. A taxi ride to the hotel took only 15 minutes and cost around 1,800 yen. The hotel, priced at 9,000 yen per night with two meals included, also features an onsen. If you take a limousine bus and transfer to a train, it costs 1,000 yen but takes an additional hour. In such cases, using a taxi is more reasonable. Interestingly, I received a 4,000 yen coupon card (since it was a weekday) called the Kochi Regional Revitalization Coupon. I planned where to use it for the next day. Lucky me! 🎰 This coupon plan is provided when booking (similar to QUO cards), and the hotel restaurant is one of the places where it can be used. Although I booked the breakfast and dinner plan, the manager kindly gave me the coupon to use elsewhere. After dinner, I spent some time relaxing in the countryside. The onsen here is not open in the early morning, so I planned to visit it during the night. I fell asleep, enjoying the rural atmosphere. The next morning, I woke up at the hotel in Noichi-cho, Konan City, Kochi Prefecture. Although it’s an onsen hotel, the onsen is only open from 10 AM to 11 PM, so there’s no morning onsen. It seems to serve as a public bath for locals. After checking out and having breakfast, I realized I couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi. Then, I discovered I had left my bag in the room after checking out. It had been 40 minutes! 🤣 I got the key again and retrieved my bag. The room was untouched, as cleaning seemed to be done leisurely in this rural area. The view from the window showcased a rural scene with clear views of vinyl greenhouses. I headed to Noichi Station, one of the places where the 4,000 yen coupon card could be used. I bought a One Piece merchandise item. Then, I took the Tosa Kuroshio Railway to Akaoka Station for a brewery tour and purchased two bottles of sake. This brewery was also a participating location for the coupon card, and I used the entire 4,000 yen effectively. 👏👏👏 Nearby, I visited the Ekin Museum, which I had planned to see. The artwork here depicts the Tosa Province of the Edo period, using red as the primary color. After a 45-minute solo tour, I traveled from Akaoka Station to Konan Station. At this unmanned station, a staff member approached to mark the boarding station and destination on the ticket. They manually wrote the date and serial number on paper tickets, which are sold for cash only. The rural private railway ride took 15 minutes and cost 410 yen. 🤣 Previously, when I stayed near Nahari, I used the All Shikoku Rail Pass and didn’t notice these details. From Konan Station to Tokushima Station, I took the JR Limited Express, transferring midway. Previously, I used the rail pass and didn’t pay attention to the fare, but this time, it cost over 5,000 yen. Transportation in Shikoku is quite expensive. In Tokushima, I noticed that the line for Gyoza no Ohsho was longer than for Tokushima ramen shops. ^^ I also had lunch at my favorite Gyoza no Ohsho. The limousine bus to Tokushima Airport costs 600 yen, making it the cheapest among limousine buses. It takes about 35 minutes, but IC cards are not accepted. Tickets must be purchased from vending machines, and seating is unreserved. At both the airport and station, announcements suggest taking a taxi if tickets are sold out. 🤣 At Tokushima Airport, I spent time in the lounge before departing on time without delays. The aircraft was the same new A321 model as the one to Kochi. 👍 During the flight, I enjoyed a beverage service and took a short nap. An announcement mentioned that Mount Fuji was visible. Through the clouds, Mount Fuji appeared. For the remaining 20 minutes before reaching Tokyo, I admired the view of Mount Fuji. I was lucky to capture both the Izu Peninsula and Mount Fuji in one glance. A grandmother seated next to me was moved to tears, saying it was her first time seeing Mount Fuji so clearly at the age of 73. She handed me her phone, and I took several photos for her. She repeatedly thanked me, explaining that she was on her way to her son’s home in Yokohama, carrying various items. Leaving the emotional sight of Mount Fuji behind, we landed at Haneda. While the departure bus wasn’t great, the arrival bus dropped us off right at the exit, which was convenient. I returned to Tokyo after a well-spent 2-day, 1-night trip to Shikoku. Thank you.

🇯🇵 [Kochi Prefecture] Dainichi-ji Temple, the 28th temple of the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage The 28th temple of the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage Dainichi-ji Temple is said to have been founded by Bodhisattva Gyoki at the request of Emperor Shomu about 1,200 years ago, and was later restored by Kukai (Kobo Daishi). The principal image of Dainichi Nyorai is said to have been made by Gyoki, and is a 147cm tall wooden statue of the Bodhisattva Gyoki. Along with the standing statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon, the statue next to it, it is a national important cultural property. In addition, in the inner sanctuary, there is a spring that has never dried up even during droughts and is one of the 40 famous springs of Tosa that has been selected as a spring that cures all diseases.

Kochi Prefecture's "Temuko Port Movable Bridge" is a private attraction I discovered while hiking the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The bridge is about 32 meters long and opens and closes in about 6 minutes after the sound. I was lucky to arrive at 11:55 and observed the front and back. We immediately found the best position for time-lapse recording and waited for the bridge rising show at 12 o'clock. Although there were only four tourists including me, when the opening angle of the bridge pier reached 70 degrees, the four of us exclaimed in surprise. We were so moved! The bridge is raised for 7 hours every day to allow ships to pass through. Those who are interested can refer to the take-off and landing times on the official website! #2024TravelReview

I stayed here as a set with Kochi Kuroshio Country Club Play. Although Ryoma no Yu♨️ has separate entrances for guests staying at the hotel and for those visiting the hot springs, it seems that many locals come just for the hot springs. It's a nice hot spring, but there are a lot of people bathing and the opening hours are short. So I was disappointed that I couldn't take a morning bath. I can't say the food was particularly tasty. There didn't seem to be any local food. The coronavirus countermeasures are solid and the staff are nice. #mountain climbing #great view #luxury hotel #couple trip #food
