Get ready...warm, sunny days are just around the corner!

As the breeze slowly turns from crisp to comfy, it’s only right to start off the transition of seasons with one of Kochi’s most iconic summer sites. Just as cherry blossoms represent spring in Japan, sunflowers symbolize the energetic summer, and there aren’t many places across the country where you get to witness a sea of these bright yellow flowers collaborate magnificently with an over 100-year-old architectural marvel

Just over an hour drive (or train) from Kochi City in the old samurai town of Aki, is the Nora Dokei (field clock), which was hand built in 1887

No matter how many years pass, the beauty of the Nora Dokei never gets old
