July 31, 2024: Katsurahama Beach, Kochi Castle, Harimaya Bridge, and “katsuo no tataki“ (seared bonito)

July 31, 2024: Visited Kochi to sightsee at Katsurahama Beach, Kochi Castle, and Harimaya Bridge, and to eat “katsuo no tataki“ (seared bonito). I took a round trip from Osaka using a highway bus, completing it within 24 hours. Despite the short duration, I was able to fully enjoy the spontaneous trip.

It was too hot and tiring to visit Katsurahama Beach and Kochi Castle, but the highway bus was comfortable and the seared bonito was very tasty.

I found the mascot character of Kochi, "Berobero no Kamisama." "Berobero" means being completely drunk, and "kamisama" means god. This god appears at banquets to protect drinkers. Kochi has long been famous for its numerous banquets and drinkers.
