More about Kochi

Of course the nice weather helped, but I quite liked Kochi. Here are some more pictures of the castle and some of the city.

clipped cypresses and a distant view of the mountains over the wall

This is katsuo tataki, or lightly seared bonito, a delicious specialty of the Kochi area. Worth the trip!

I will post some more about Shikoku in a day or two.
