Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit Kogane Falls and mountain activity facilities separately in Okawa, Kochi. The photograph is a distant view from April 2014. Koganetaki Bridge is listed as closed to vehicles weighing 2 tonnes or more from 9 October 2026; mountain roads also have restrictions, so check the latest notice before departure.

This guide covers places within Okawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
