Day 2: Hop-on Bus - Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum - Marathon Village - Belmont MansionBetween the old landmarks and new buildings, Nashville is a perfect destination to explore by hop-on bus.

Kochi, the capital of Kochi Prefecture is located on on the Southern coast of Shikoku island in Japan. Kochi's free and daring characteristics have created generous yet deeply strong residents called "Igosso" or "Hachikin," and the wisdom and activity of the people of Kochi, who are full of ideas, gave birth to special gardening crops and industrial technologies.
Included Shore Excursion: Kochi Castle & Japanese Tea Ceremony - Kochi Castle, one of just twelve Japanese castles to have survived the fires, wars and other catastrophes of the post feudal age, was built between 1601 and 1611, but most of its main buildings date from 1748. The castle buildings have since been designated "important cultural properties", and now house local treasures and historical objects. A unique feature of Kochi's castle is that its main tower (donjon) was not only used for military purposes, but also as a residence. The castle's wooden interior maintains the appearance of its Edo Period origins, and the lookout point from the castle tower's top floor has wonderful views.
Hirome Market is a place for locals and visitors to eat both local cuisine and international flavors. Inside the nostalgia-inspiring market there are approximately 65 street stall-style restaurants, selling fresh fish, meat, unique knick knacks and clothing. With tables throughout, we can get takeout from different restaurants and enjoy a variety of foods.
After our lunch break we visit the Makino Botanical Garden, located at the summit of Godaiyama. About 7,400 acres, including wild plants, color the four seasons in the approximately 14 acres of the garden, making it one of Japan's leading integrated botanical gardens where you can feel the joy of meeting plants in nature.
Next we will visit the famous temple of Tosa, Chikurinji, adjacent to the Makino Botanical Garden. Monk disciples gathered, becoming the center of Tosa culture as a study temple. Many works of great importance have come out of this place, and there is a “secret” Buddha that is only shown to the public once every 50 years. Further, the five-storied pagoda built in the precinct is the only one in Kochi Prefecture, and the tower contains stupas from India.

When built the Kinkakuji temple complex rivaled the sprawling Kyoto Imperial Palace Park, both in terms of the number of structures arrayed across the grounds, and as a political and administrative center.

On the eighth floor, the observation deck offers an amazing panoramic view of the city.
Next, we'll have time on our own to stroll through the Dotonbori district, renowned for its gaudy neon lights, extravagant signage, and the enormous variety of restaurants and bars. Osaka’s obsession with food is often summed up with the expression “kuidaore” which is often interpreted to mean “eat till you drop”.
