Kochi is one of those places where we weren’t motivated enough to visit. Hence, when we saw a mascot convention called Gotouchi Character Festival in Kochi on a weekend, we instantly decided that it was the time to finally visit the prefecture.
Here is our itinerary:
Highlights
- We went there to attend the Gotouchi Character Festival in Susaki, Kochi. It was my first time participating in that kind of event. I feel like this is something that could only happen in Japan, so it’s nice to have this kind of experience.
- There were dancing and talking mascots.
Not-so-highlights
- The weather was cloudy but a little humid. Thankfully, it didn’t rain.
- I had forgotten everything about Kochi Castle. It’s probably the least memorable castle I’ve been to.
- Bringing coins is a must when traveling to Kochi. Outside IC cards don’t work here, so it’s necessary to buy train tickets every time you need to travel.
