Board your comfortable coach bound for Katsurahama Beach, one of the most popular spots in Kochi and ranked among the top 100 Japanese beaches. Explore the crescent-shaped beach, framed by rocky capes and Japanese pines, and admire a bronze monument commemorating the samurai Sakamoto Ryoma, who was born in Kochi City. Ryoma, a very popular figure in Japan, was a visionary who worked to modernize (and somewhat Westernize) the country by doing away with feudal structures. Early on, he realized that his beloved country needed to compete industrially and technologically with the rest of the world. He was killed by members of opposing factions on his 31st birthday but is remembered as a harbinger of the new Japan. After stretching your legs with a walk along the beach, cross the charming 65-foot red-arched Harimaya Bridge into a vibrant area bustling with local shops nestled in the heart of Kochi City. Finally, you will visit Kochi Castle Museum of History and photo stop at Kochi castle
