Ochi Town, located in the mid-western part of Kochi Prefecture, is an outdoor sacred destination rich in untouched Japanese original landscapes, embraced by the pure stream of the beautiful Niyodo River and the rugged yet rich Shikoku Mountains. Housing "Mt. Yokokura," a botanical sanctuary deeply loved by world-class botanist Dr. Tomitaro Makino where precious fossils from about 400 million years ago are discovered, and the mystical "Hijiri Shrine" standing along a sheer vertical cliff, its hand-constructed dynamic natural environments and mountain faith history thoroughly captivate international travelers. Furthermore, it serves with high convenience as a base for camping, canoeing, and rafting along the calm Niyodo River, packed in recent years with stylish glamping facilities. It is a town where you can be deeply healed by rugged yet gentle great nature's energy and warm local hospitality.
