Aki, the city of timeless beauty

Aki is where you can find traditional samurai residences from the Edo period (1603 – 1868), and the majestic Ioki Cave featuring fern-covered rocky walls that have formed over millions of years. It’s home to the iconic, handmade Nora Dokei (field clock) that has been ticking for over 130 years. From early April, you can enjoy delicious matcha at the 150-year-old former resting place for feudal lords at Uchiharano Park, surrounded by over 15,000 azalea trees

Just an hour drive from Kochi City (or an easy train ride), you can travel hundreds of years back in time. Come visit Aki City where nostalgic old Japan lives on!
