From parfaits, cakes, and cookies to rice cake dumplings (dango) and other traditional Japanese sweets, you will find no shortage of tea-infused desserts in Kochi
Nestled in the beautiful hills near the crystal blue Niyodo River, at Ikegawa Chaen you can enjoy delicious parfaits, roll cakes, tiramisu, pudding, and more, made from Niyodogawa Town’s special locally-grown tea leaves
After hiking through Yasui Gorge, one of the best ways to explore the Niyodo River (often referred to as Japan’s most beautiful river due to its surreal cobalt blue color), or learning how to make traditional Japanese washi paper at Ino-Cho Paper Museum, Ikegawa Chaen is definitely worth a stop to satisfy your sweet tooth
