Godaisan Park is a beautifully landscaped park near the summit of Mount Godaisan, providing spectacular views of Kochi City. At 146 meters above sea level, Mount Godaisan has long been a sacred site, and its peak is home to Chikurin-ji Temple, the 31st temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Founded by Kūkai, the great Buddhist monk, the temple features a serene atmosphere with centuries-old cedar trees. The park also features the Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden, a tribute to the world-renowned botanist, Dr. Tomitaro Makino. This garden showcases approximately 3,500 plant species, offering a vibrant display of seasonal blooms.
