With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Nankoku, 20 miles away, has to offer. Kochi Castle, Hirome Market and Kochi City Culture Plaza Karupo alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also probably point you toward Saijo, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Kichijoji Temple. (But we’re also big fans of Asahi Brewery Shikoku and Chofuku-ji Temple.)
