The cape is the southernmost point of Shikoku and the location of Kongofukuji Temple (Temple 38 of the 88). The clifftop walk on the western side is vertiginous and spectacular. Very remote — plan accommodation in Tosa Shimizu the night before.

Cape Muroto
The remote southern cape where Kobo Daishi (founder of Shingon Buddhism) achieved spiritual awakening in a sea cave at age 24. The exposed volcanic rock formations and crashing Pacific give a genuinely primeval feeling.
Chikurin-ji Temple
One of Kochi's most famous temples and the 31st stop on the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, Chikurin-ji is widely visited for its peaceful mossy grounds, five-storied pagoda, and historic garden. A mainstream spiritual landmark for travelers seeking major cultural heritage close to the city.
Hirome Market
Kochi's beloved covered market — open since 1998 but feels like a 50-year institution. Locals come daily for katsuo no tataki (seared bonito) and sake, sitting elbow-to-elbow at communal tables.
