“Wonderful guide to Kochi”
Tomoko We contacted Tomoko to guide us around Kōchi. We wanted to visit this city to see Makino Botanical Garden and some temples and shrines. Tomoko was very well organized. She had detailed schedules of the various means of transportation that we used including walking, taxis and buses. She kept us on our schedule so that we were able to see the sites we were most interested in. Although we went to the Makino Botanical Garden in late October we were delighted to find some plants in bloom. There were many things to see - too many for a short visit - and we would like to spend more time there the next time we visit. We also visited a beautiful Shinto shrine on a promontory at the end of Katsurahama beach and another in town. At the end of our tour she guided us to Hirome Market. She explained how the market worked. We quickly found some delicious things to eat. I particularly wanted to try katsuo on tataki, bonito grilled over straw. I spotted a fellow walking by towards a table with exactly that. My wife was able to ask him where he bought it. He walked me over to the shop and I returned soon afterwards with a splendid serving of grilled tuna. We highly recommend Tomoko as a guide!
