Kochi, Japan

Kochi, Japan

Shikoku's Sunday market, running for well over a mile through the center of town, is the largest and oldest street market in Japan, farmers and fishermen selling directly from stalls much as they have for over three hundred years. Bonito, seared over a straw fire and sliced thick, is close to a civic dish here, best eaten with a shot of the region's own sake. Ryoma Sakamoto, one of the key figures in ending Japan's feudal era, was born in this city and is honored with a striking bronze statue overlooking the bay. An unpretentious, proudly local corner of Shikoku.

This was undoubtedly the best trip my wife and I have ever had. Thank you for this amazing experience. Mr & Mrs FilhoBrazil
I hate Commercial Cruises. So I reluctantly signed up for a SeaDream, and after a week on the boat, I could not think of one thing that was not done to perfection. The food was great, the staff was spectacular, and having only 50 couples made this a private yacht cruise. I have signed up for my second cruise, and probably will only Yacht with SeaDream in my future. Pat M.Florida
