Chiara Terzuolo has been doing consulting work for Jarman International in Kochi Prefecture on Shikoku island in Western Japan. She writes,
Kochi Prefecture is tucked away in Shikoku, the smallest of all of Japan’s major islands, and is part of the 88 temples Buddhist pilgrimage route that crosses the island.
The sheer diversity of Kochi is rather stunning. You can spend the morning on gorgeous sand beaches, the afternoon by the crystal clear Shimanto River and the evening dining high in the mountains.I love the direct connection between nature and food—as they produce some of the most delicious veggies I have ever tried (not to mention sake!)—and the local’s welcoming spirit towards visitors, influenced by the pilgrimage culture.
