Kitagawa Village, located deeply within the mountain valleys of eastern Kochi Prefecture, is a beautiful mountain village wrapped in rich forests and pure stream blessings, celebrated as the hometown of the great late-Edo hero Nakaoka Shintaro. The greatest surprise of this village is that it houses "The Garden of Claude Monet Marmottan in Kitagawa Village," which is the only garden globally officially permitted to replicate the Giverny gardens loved by the French impressionist master Claude Monet. Meticulous pond scenes of water lilies mirroring beautiful light and water are highly photogenic, drawing art fans from throughout the world. Furthermore, Kitagawa Village stands as a premier production land for "Yuzu" citrus fruits, wrapping the entire village in a rich citrus scent in autumn. Nurtured by idyllic mountain landscapes, top-tier art, and warm local people, it is the ultimate healing nature area.
