Kochi home of token and the long tailed cocks - Kochi

Kochi is the castle town of the biggest prefecture of shikoku. Blessed with a warm southern climate, it is a popular domain for outdor activities like diving, surfing, rafting... But watch the time you'll travel to this region. Kochi is also known for many typhoons. Kochi castle is a must see when visiting this town. It is still a original wooden castle and not made out of concrete reconstruction.

Token - dog fights. You can visit dog fights near Kochi. The Mastiff dogs are really big and weigh up to 90kg. They are ranked like sumo wrestlers. Here a picture of the Yokozuna.

Breeders have coaxed the long tailed roosters to produce feathers up to 10m. For more information about these cocks check this page. If you want to know more about fighting cocks click here.
