Kochi Castle and Kochi City

Kochijo from the street
This is a view of Kochi Castle that you can see from the Sunday Market street in Kochi City. Kochijo entrance
This is the entrance to the main castle. You have to climb many stone stairs up the big hill to get here. :-)

Kochijo park
Here's a view of the grounds surrounding the castle and the stone stairs you have to climb to reach the castle. This picture was taken from the window at the top of the castle.
This is also the area near the castle, with a view of part of Kochi city.

This is a different view of Kochi city from Kochijo. stuffed rooster
This is a photo of a stuffed ornamental rooster that is one of the symbols of Kochi, and the "mascot" of Nankoku City (the city in which I am living, directly east of Kochi City). Those tails are unbelievably long.
