After exploring Kochi Castle, you will visit Yōhōji Temple, which has deep historical ties to Kazutoyo Yamauchi, the feudal lord who constructed the castle.

You can also enjoy a matcha tea experience and a meditation session while overlooking the temple’s garden, which showcases beautiful seasonal scenery throughout the year.
