Kochi, Japan

Kochi is home to almost half of the island of Shikoku's population, and even more of its attractions. Its widespread bus network and historic trams make Kochi a fun and accessible stop for many travelers. Kochi Castle, a remarkably well-preserved castle from feudal times, sits atop a hill downtown, and remnants of another castle can be found near Urado Bay. The city is also home to Makino Botanical Garden and several miles of street markets. If you happen to travel in August, be sure not to miss the city's most famous festival: Yosakoi, which features thousands of dancers performing throughout the city.
