The next is about Kochi trip with my friend!
I went to Kochi on August 9th to 15th.
My father's hometown is also Kochi, so I stayed in Kochi-city with my friend on August 9-10 and go to my father's hometown on August 11-15.
It was great!! I went to Kochi so many times but I rarely go to tourism spot. So maybe this is the first time I climbed the Kochi-castle.
There are many histrical spot in Kochi. I think this is one of the reason I like Kochi.
The most famous one is Sakamoto Ryoma. If you go to Kochi, you can see a lot of "Ryoma" !!
We visited many places and ate delicious Kochi food!
This is Harimaya-Bridge. It is famous as the three major "GAKKARI" spot in Japan.
And we also felt GAKKARI! haha...(better than we thought...!)
Katsura-beach(桂浜). Maybe Ryoma saw the same sight.
The Sasimi of bonito(鰹のたたき). It was so good!
The statue of Ryoma. It was bigger than I thought.
Shirasu-don. Goooood!
However, My true purpose of this trip is...Watch Yosakoi dance!
291 teams were participated this year. They danced through the street of everywhere in Kochi-city with beautiful costume and loud music. This is so big festival in Kochi.
This is my favorite team "Obiya-Machisuzi"↓↓
They all use big truck called "Zikata-sya(地方車)" to play music, and singer and music player on this truck.
I was sooooo excited to watch this team.
Japanese famous actress Ryoko Hirosue is from Kochi, and danced with this team every year.
She appeared 2nd days of this festival, so I wasn't able to watch her.
Actually, She wasn't danced this year. But she is so cute↓↓
Yosakoi festival is so exciting! I can't wait to see next Yosakoi festival !
I suggest you to see this festival one time !
