At the End of the Mirror River<\/h3>\n
\n

An\u00a0MSC cruise\u00a0will take you to\u00a0Kochi<\/strong>, situated in the prefecture of the same name, on the island of Shikoku. You can visit Kochi castle on an excursion; it is one of the twelve Japanese castles to have survived fires, wars and other catastrophes of the post-feudal age.<\/p>\n

It was built between 1601 and 1611. What you can see of the building today however, dates back to 1748, the year in which the castle was rebuilt after a fire. Curiosity: its main tower was not used only for military purposes, but it was also the residence of noble families. Quite unusual, since the nobility would usually reside in other parts of the castle. The wooden interior is typical of the traditional style of the Edo period.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Near Kochi harbour is the picturesque beach of\u00a0Katsurahama<\/strong>. In the local restaurants you can eat Katsuo, a type of tuna which is typical to Japanese waters, cut into slices and lightly grilled on straw fuelled fire which gives it a slightly smoky flavour.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seventy kilometres from Kochi there is an unusual tourist attraction, the ancient\u00a0Kazurabashi Bridge<\/strong>, 45 meters wide and 2 metres<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

wide, it stretches 14 metres above the waters of the river Iya. Today, the bridge \u2013 which is made from Actinidia arguta wood, a kind of vine similar to a kiwi plant \u2013 is reinforced with steel wires. It should not be missed for the surrounding landscape and the brief but thrilling walk it offers.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Closer to Kochi is the wonderful\u00a0Oboke gorge<\/strong>: we cross the river Yoshino on a boat and marvel at how over hundreds of millions of years the river has eroded the rocks of the Shikoku mountains shaping the stone into bizarre shapes.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
