What you can expect
Discover Kochi on a private walking tour connecting the city’s lively local streets, food culture, and samurai history.
Meet your guide around Harimaya Bridge and begin your walk through central Kochi. From this well-known city landmark, continue towards Obiyamachi, a covered shopping district filled with local shops, cafés, restaurants, and everyday city life.
Continue through smaller streets and quieter corners before reaching Hirome Market, one of Kochi’s most distinctive gathering places. Explore the lively food hall and learn about local specialities such as katsuo no tataki. Food and drinks are optional and paid separately.
From Hirome Market, continue towards Kochi Castle and step into the city’s samurai past. See the historic Otemon Gate, stone walls, traditional structures, and castle grounds while learning about the former Tosa domain.
Kochi Castle is especially notable for its surviving original main keep and Honmaru palace buildings. Castle interior admission is optional and paid separately. If time allows, guests who wish may enter and explore the traditional wooden interior.
Because this is a private tour, the pace can be adjusted to your group. Spend more time browsing local streets, enjoying the market, taking photos, or exploring the castle area.
The tour finishes around Kochi Castle.
