A rider with experience touring around Japan twice shares ten hand-picked touring roads and spots in Kochi Prefecture. From scenic routes along the Pacific coast to winding mountain roads, it's a route guide for fully exploring Kochi in Shikoku.
Kochi is wonderful. Cruising an open road along the Pacific, I feel like all the time I spent planning with a map unfolded pays off. Head into the mountains and there's winding road waiting too. It matters that this was picked by someone who's circled Japan twice — this kind of 'word from someone who's actually ridden it' is something you can trust. Makes me want to build my next trip around this.

Shikoku has few traffic lights so it's easy to ride, which also helps fuel economy on that route.
Whereabouts exactly is this scenic route along the Pacific?
Muroto and Cape Ashizuri are the classic spots, the ocean out there is genuinely massive.
I feel like Ehime's Shimanami is easier to ride than Kochi.
Shimanami has great scenery, but Kochi's mountain roads have denser winding sections.
They call it a top 10, but I can't help wondering if it's just lining up the famous spots.
Just knowing it was picked by someone who's ridden around Japan twice already gives it credibility.
Riding along the Pacific coast in Kochi feels great, makes total sense it's on the list.
