How to get to Kochi
|
|
All trains from Japan's main island Honshu to Shikoku depart from Okayama and cross the Seto Inland Sea via the Seto-Ohashi Bridge which was completed in 1986.
Between Okayama and Kochi, there are hourly JR limited express trains (tokkyu), which take about two and a half hours and cost 5,790 Yen for the one way trip.
There are also hourly direct trains between Takamatsu and Kochi. In fact, the trains from Okayama and Takamatsu join each other at Utadsu and continue to Kochi together. Likewise, trains departing from Kochi have wagons bound for Okayama and Takamatsu.
