Board your motorcoach for the approximately 1½-hour drive to the mountainous interior of Shikoku.
Your first destination is Oboke for a scenic boat excursion on the Yoshino River. From here, you'll set out on an approximately 20- to 30-minute float trip. The narrow banks are crowded with maple trees, nut trees and azaleas. The rushing river has formed wildly shaped rocks in the current and along the banks.
After lunch at a local restaurant, board your motorcoach and head to Kochi Castle. Snap some photos of the outside here. Yamanouchi Kazutoyo built the castle following the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. The donjon, or main tower, and the splendid Otemon Gate are original.
Return to the pier in Kochi.
Notes:
Tour requires considerable walking. It is suited to physically fit guests. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel and more than 150 steps at Kochi Castle. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Float trip operates weather permitting, if cancelled an alternative photo stop at Oboke Gorge will be made to take in the views. Unfamiliar accents can be challenging; feel free to ask your guide to repeat or elaborate on information, and to speak more slowly so you can fully comprehend and converse. Tour sequence may vary.
