Kochi Prefecture

The terrain of Kochi Prefecture ranges from the Shikoku Mountains in the north to a Pacific coast in the south, giving it a distinctly mountainous and maritime character. Tosa Bay fronts the central coast, while Cape Muroto and Cape Ashizuri mark the prefecture’s eastern and western reaches. The Shimanto River winds through the west, and Kōchi City is home to Kōchi Castle, one of Japan’s twelve castles with an original surviving keep. Local food culture is closely associated with katsuo no tataki, lightly seared bonito.
