With the arrival of spring, the sports season begins
March is still chilly days, but around the end of the year it gets warmer little by little along with the cherry blossom front. At Kochi Castle, which has been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Castles, more than 200 cherry trees are in full bloom around Sannomaru, and at the Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden in Godaisan, plants related to the doctor will feel the coming of spring.
In addition, since each sports league begins, such as the open game of professional baseball, the opening of the Shikoku Island League plus, and the opening of the JFL, it is a season when many supporters look forward to the beginning of the season.
If you want to enjoy cherry blossoms, we recommend the Shimanto River Sakura Marathon, which is held in Shimanto-shi every March. A row of cherry trees in full bloom along the road while passing through five sinking bridges. You can feel a pleasant season with the warm cheers of the local people.

Cherry blossoms in full bloom and fresh green season
Spring is a season where you can feel the breath of new life. Kochi has mountains of various sizes, and there are many places where roads are well maintained, so you can easily trek and hike.
Camp
Temperatures that are easy to spend both day and night
Camping has an image of summer, but it is also recommended to spring when the temperature does not rise too much during the day. In Kochi Prefecture, where there are many places with clear air, you can see the full starry sky.

Relaxing run in the soft sunshine
The air is clear and the season is perfect for running. You can also enjoy fresh green scenery in urban areas and flatlands along rivers, or challenge trail runs in mountainous areas.
