Lunch in downtown Kochi.
The menu was in Japanese. It is a simple menu, and the cost was very reasonable. Nice lunch.

These three statues are in Kochi City. If you take a picture of them, the visitor center gave me a post card. I took my post card and left it behind Ojchan's picture on the wall in Saka. I bet that will be there 30 more years.
Things to do in Kochi
We took sight seeing taxi ride to see the sights of Kochi. It is much better than renting a car. I don't think I ever want to drive in Japan. The driver seemed to have a twitch in his hand. I never really saw him take a bathroom break, but perhaps when we went down to the water fall, or into the shop, he went to the bathroom. Here again the influence of france in the country side of Japan is interesting.
An interesting road side attraction. I am not sure what kind of art it is.
The water fall road. It is so rural Japan to have a vending machine in the middle of no where. There is a security camera, so do not do anything bad.
There is a list of things that you shouldn't do
It needs two signs.
I was impressed with the stairs. Basically they used rebar pounded into the ground as pin piles and then they attached temporary construction stair system. According the driver, ten years ago it was just a dirt path, but then a you tuber came and made it famous, now a lot of people come. This stair was built very quickly, and cheaply. They don't charge for admission, but I assume that the prefecture enjoys the additional tourists visiting.
In front of the waterfall.
The last few steps are on the rocks.
This is a bridge that does not have guard rails, as they allow it to flood over. It is sort of an popular place for tourist to visit.
At the Kamenoi Hotel. It had a very ncie window
