What other travelers are saying about Kochi Castle
One of best Castle ever I visited. Garden in Castle was stunning with sunshine. Castle itself is history but has lot of English explanations like Museum. View of rooftop feel like been Lord of Kochi and quite nice.
Small Castle but take almost 1.5 hours to enjoy.
But rocky but keep in starve and visit Hiromi Market next door.
Kochi Castle is a very cool castle, situated in an elevated location with great views. The architecture is impressive, and the setting adds to its charm. It’s definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in history and enjoying scenic views.
One of my top favourite castle. Relatively small but also the only one in Japan where the original castle tower and main keep remains intact. There's some historical materials and artwork on display to be immerse in the wonders of this amazing castle.
The Kochi Castle is an iconic tourist site with a rich historical history and one which, I found fascinating. The castle is the only one in Japan that possesses the original architecture that one would have seen during the castle’s operational period.
Getting to the top of the castle is no easy task. Those with limited mobility might find the climb rather challenging, but if you’re able to endure the twist & turns and the number steps leading up you’ll be glad you did.
The 360° degree views from atop the castle are simply breathtaking. One can only imagine the events that occurred at and around this castle during the Edo Period.
This is definitely a place to visit should you be in Kochi Japan.
A do not miss landmark if visiting Kochi. If you are physically unable to climb the steps, that is the only excuse to miss. Fantastic views from the top. There is also a museum across the street. A lot of small displays with signs in multiple languages. You had to take your shoes off to enter the castle.
