All Reviews of Godaisan (Godaisan Park)

On this trip to Kochi, I made a point of visiting Godaisan Park. I drove all the way up the mountain without expecting too much, but once I arrived, I felt it was well worth a visit!

The park is shaded by lush trees, and the grounds are beautifully maintained, making it very pleasant to walk around. What I liked most was that there weren’t many visitors. Without the noise of a busy tourist attraction, it felt more relaxed and peaceful.

From the viewpoint, I could see all of downtown Kochi, Urado Bay, and the mountain ranges in the distance. The view was really great! The blue sky combined with the mountain and ocean scenery made me want to stay a little longer, and I took quite a few photos.

When you come to Kochi, don’t focus only on Katsurahama! Godaisan Park was also a pleasant little surprise on this trip. From here, you can look down on miniature-looking Urado Bay and Katsurahama Beach, and even see the statue of Sakamoto Ryoma in the distance. Although you can drive straight up the mountain, I recommend taking your time walking along the mountain path. The moment I reached the observation deck, the entire view suddenly opened up before me, and I really felt like, “I made the right choice!” The weather was great that day, and the blue sky and magnificent scenery were so beautiful I didn’t want to leave. There weren’t many tourists either, so it unexpectedly became a very relaxing stop on my trip. I’ve heard the night view is even more captivating, so I’ll definitely have to come back next time!
