The 27 best places to go out in Kochi (2024)

You can get all kinds of Kochi’s famous food like bonito, moray, sweet potato sticks, and so much more!Price seemed a bit too much but I guess it’s fair considering it’s popular for tourists and it’s convenient that you can get all you should try in Kochi just in one place.

Great place and vibe BUT it’s sooooo crowded - it would be very difficult to get a table let alone a seat. And then get past the language challenge of ordering!We were going to leave the place- but found some seats at a stall (not listed on google maps) outside the market, in the sheltered but open air. Weather was about 5-7C, it was getting cold - so ramen, rice, fried dumplings and a cold beer!

Great place for down to earth local Kochi food. Not so many tourists. Great variety of hard to find foods. It gets busy, and some of the tables are owned by certain places, so pay attention. All the signs are in Japanese only, so use your Google translate to help read the signs. We purchased food from a variety of stands, but we had to purchase our drinks from the owner of the table. No big deal, it's just worth mentioning.

2024.4.30.Tuesday.初突撃前日に調べて鯖の刺身を食べたいと思い午後1時頃に入場残念ながら食べれず取り敢えず呑む。GWの合間の平日ながら人は多い地元の人より地方からの人やと会話でわかる期待していた市場コスパを比較すると円ドルベース160円を付けている直後の円安ドル高状態なのでインバウンド設定なのか強気設定でコスパは低い。キャンピングカーを近くのパーキングで停めているので戻って昼寝午後8時に再び入場昼間と違い活気あると感じるが結局推しの佐賀明神丸さんの塩鰹タタキで締めくくる家族で塩鰹タタキを食べるなら道の駅なぶら土佐•佐賀やと改めて実感雰囲気は良かったけど及第点(Translated by Google)2024.4.30.Tuesday.First attackLook it up the day beforeI want to eat mackerel sashimiEnter around 1pmUnfortunately, I can't eat it and just drink it.There are a lot of people even though it's a weekday between Golden Week.You can tell from a conversation that someone is from a rural area rather than a local person.Comparing the expected market cost performanceImmediately after the yen-dollar base reached 160 yen.Because the yen is weak and the dollar is strongIs it an inbound setting or a bullish setting?Cost performance is low.a camperI'm parked at a nearby parking lot.go back and take a napRe-enter at 8pmI feel that it is lively unlike during the day.in the endSeared salted bonito by my favorite Saga Myojinmaru.concludeIf you want to eat salted bonito tataki with your familyRoadside Station Nabura Tosa/SagaI realized it againThe atmosphere was good but it was just a pass

Hirome - A place where your welcome!!I love the Atmosphere there always many People there to talk and have fun. I like the individual choice of food you have everything inside what you need! Especially i love the Indian Cuisine i always eat Chicken Curry so delicious!!Also many other Restaurants inside are very good! You should always come early there to get a table if you come late at night there may will be no free table to seat... But its always funny to go there having some drinks and food!

Translated means Romantic Market. It has lots of things to eat, from lots of stalls offering a variety of foods.

Lots of people, lots of food/ drink stalls but not enough places to sit. Have to hawk eyes to see which table the occupants would be leaving soon, walk near there, and wait there, like booking in advance while standing. The food almost 95% of customers bought was the katsuo no tataki.

高知の中心的な観光地です。市場内には所狭しと 飲食店や お土産屋さんがたくさん並んでいます。座席はテーブルと小さな椅子の簡易的な状態になっています。どの店も 活気がすごく大きいですが 観光地 価格です。それでも高知の名産品やお土産などを楽しむには ここが良いでしょう。外国人 客もたくさんいます。(Translated by Google)It is a central tourist destination in Kochi. Inside the market, there are many restaurants and souvenir shops. Seating is simple with tables and small chairs. All of the stores are very lively, but the prices are typical of a tourist area.Still, this is a good place to enjoy Kochi's specialties and souvenirs.There are also many foreign customers.

It’s a must do thing in Kochi. Went there in the morning around 10 and I could still see a lot of locals sipping beers. katsuo no tataki dish there.

My favorite food hall in Japan (that I've experienced). A great place to get so many of the local dishes and delights - and I love the atmosphere!

Lively food court in downtown Kochi. Lots of restaurants to choose from, some have their own seats but most people use the ample common seating all over the market. You can buy from a restaurant and then bring it back to your seat. Expect to share seats with others in the common seating, you may find a drinking buddy! There are also some gift shops if you're looking for souvenirs.

A market with a lot of food shops, but quite short of seats.Their specialty is tuna grill with heystraw.It is rich with aroma, you should try it.

高知県で1番賑わうひろめ市場に行って来ました！東京の築地や豊洲市場みたいにめちゃくちゃ人がたくさんいて、お店に入るまでかなり時間がかかりました。中はイートインスペースみたいに、いろんなお店の料理を買うことができます！また今回藁焼きのカツオのたたきを買いました！今まで食べたカツオのたたきの中で1番香ばしく、藁の香りがとても良かったです(≧∀≦)1番びっくりしたのはカツオの身の大きさ！かなりデカくて食べ応えもあっておすすめです！また余談ですが、他のお客様との距離が近いためナンパする方も多数いたので、おすすめかもしれないです笑カツオのたたきは高知県が1番美味しかったので、みんなにおすすめしたいです！(Translated by Google)I went to Hirome Market, the busiest market in Kochi Prefecture!Like Tokyo's Tsukiji and Toyosu markets, there were so many people that it took quite a while to get into the shops.Inside is like an eat-in space where you can buy food from various shops!I also bought the straw-grilled bonito tataki this time!It was the most fragrant seared bonito I've ever eaten, and the smell of straw was very nice (≧∀≦)What surprised me the most was the size of the bonito!It's quite big and filling, so I highly recommend it!As a side note, there were a lot of people who picked up other customers because they were close to each other, so it might be recommended lolThe seared bonito in Kochi Prefecture was the most delicious, so I would recommend it to everyone!

Fun crowd, lots of variety in food and goods. Felt like the beating heart of the city. It was crowded when I went for lunch on Saturday, but I liked that. The cat welcoming you in is a super cute mascot you'll see around the market, too. I loved it.

お店の種類が多く、選ぶのがとても楽しかった。平日の夜に行ったのだが中は大盛況で楽しい雰囲気だった。様々なお酒とのセットがあってとても良かった。特にカツオのタタキは美味しかった！！お店の前でカツオを焼いていて迫力もあった！(Translated by Google)There were many types of shops and it was very fun to choose. I went on a weekday night, and it was very busy and had a fun atmosphere. It was very good to have a set with various alcoholic beverages. The bonito tataki was especially delicious! ! They were grilling bonito in front of the shop and it was very impressive!

My wife and I first visited at night in March 26, 2023 and then came here for lunch the next day. As recommended by our elder daughter, we tried the very delicious fried dumplings. My wife chose Kabayaki eel rice, which was excellent. Prices were reasonable and stall services were pretty good!

GW最終日9:30頃から店内席を確保する為の行列が出来始める最終日だし雨だからか少ないとの事昨日はこの倍は並んでいたんだってすごーい朝からもぉ呑むんかなぁ？確かに塩カツオうまいしこの中で高知を完結出来るよねーただ、、、餃子は独特で好みではなかったしウツボの唐揚げもイマイチ（チョイス店が悪かったかな〜和歌山で食べたウツボが絶品だったので、、残念）次はアーケードの方の明神のお店で定食を食べたいと思いました😅(Translated by Google)From around 9:30 on the last day of Golden Week, lines start forming to secure seats inside.It's the last day and it's raining so there aren't many.Yesterday there were twice as many people in line.greatAre you going to start drinking in the morning?The salted bonito is certainly delicious, and you can complete Kochi with this.However, the gyoza was unique and I didn't like it.The fried moray eel is also not good.(Maybe the choice store was at fault.)It's a shame because the moray eel I ate in Wakayama was delicious.)Next time, I wanted to eat a set meal at the Myojin restaurant in the arcade.

Stopped here for lunch. The Katsuo no tataki is absolutely delicious! The market sells a wide variety of dishes, ranging from seafood to meat.

５月前半GW明けの平日の夜に行った。平日だが結構人は多く、席の８割程度は埋まっている。雰囲気は味わえるが、家の近くのスーパーで売っているかつおのたたきより値段は高い。明神丸さんのその場でたたきにしてもらったものはスモークされたように香ばしい匂いがして、いつも家で食べるものやお土産にもらったものとは別ものに感じておいしかった。かつおのたたきもいいが、お腹も空いていたのでかつおのたたき握りがコスパが良いように思えたのでそれを食べた。席を確保してもらった店の店員の人に推薦してもらったあおさのてんぷらも買ったがこれもおいしかった。雰囲気を味わうのならこの市場で食べるのも良いと思う。(Translated by Google)I went on a weekday night after Golden Week in the first half of May.Although it was a weekday, there were quite a lot of people, and about 80% of the seats were occupied.You can enjoy the atmosphere, but the price is higher than the bonito tataki sold at the supermarket near my house. The food that Mr. Myojinmaru seared for me on the spot had a smoky smell and was delicious and different from what I usually eat at home or receive as souvenirs.Seared bonito is good, but since I was hungry, the seared bonito nigiri seemed like a good value, so I went for it.I also bought seaweed tempura, which was recommended by the staff at the restaurant where I secured a seat, and it was also delicious.If you want to enjoy the atmosphere, I think it's a good idea to eat at this market.

Awesome street food market!! This spot is perfect if you want to grab a beer with some friends or have the opportunity to meet new ones!! We went to the famous Katsuo Tataki stand that had a line outside of it. We ordered takeout and ate it at our Airbnb but it was amazing. The market is fantastic for souvenirs as well so you should come though if you’re in Kochi!!

平日11時に行きましたが、市場屋上駐車場が残り数台で、食べ終わった頃には満車で駐車待機が出ていました。車で行くなら、なるべく混まないシーズンに、平日で、11時までに行くのが吉でしょうね。ランチタイムは座る場所を確保するのも難しいと思います。お腹の空き具合がまだ余裕あるタイミングで早めに入って、席を確保して、それから食べるようスケジュールを組めば問題なく楽しめます。美味しくて、あと買い回りが楽しくて、夢中だったから全然写真を撮っていませんでした。近くの席の見知らぬ人たちとワイワイ盛り上がれるのも、ひろめ市場のもつ楽しさ、良い雰囲気ならではだなと思います。一部の店で、お店の前あたりの座席を店関係者が占拠して「注文する人だけ座っていい」というやり方が見受けられましたので、星を一つ減らしています。自分はそれでも別に構わないのですが（どの店でもドリンクや酒は買うし店の食事が美味しそうなら拘りなく食べるので）、ひろめ市場の運営ルールに抵触するかなーとは思うので、書き添えておきます。(Translated by Google)I went there at 11am on a weekday, and there were only a few spaces left in the market rooftop parking lot, and by the time I finished eating, it was full and people were waiting for parking.If you're going by car, it's best to go during the least crowded season, on weekdays, and before 11am. I think it's difficult to find a place to sit during lunch time.If you arrive early when you're still hungry, secure a seat, and then plan your meal, you'll be able to enjoy your meal without any problems.It was delicious, and I had so much fun shopping around that I was so engrossed in it that I didn't take any pictures.I think it's the fun and good atmosphere of Hirome Market that allows you to have fun with strangers sitting nearby.I am deducting one star because at some stores, I saw staff occupying the seats near the front of the store, and only those ordering were allowed to sit.I don't mind that (I buy drinks and alcohol at any store, and if the food at the store looks delicious, I'll eat it without worrying about it), but I think it might violate the Hirome Market's operating rules, so I'd like to add a note. Masu.

A bustling and very popular food court at the west end of Obiyamachi shopping street, selling a variety of produces and dishes throughout the prefecture. Tends to be crowded in dinner time and getting a seat (let alone multiple seat) could be a challenge. My plane landed rather late and by the time I arrived, it was already packed.Ended up having takeaway - bought tataki, mackerel sushi, local melon, and Tosa no Okyaku sake. All of them were really delicious, although for the 'feast' it was a bit too expensive (but still acceptable as a treat).

鰹のタタキ、最高でした。お店が、たくさんあって２つのお店のタタキを食べました。明神丸の塩タタキは、ゆずの搾り汁が付いていてこれにつけて食べるのが凄く美味しかったです。あおさの天ぷらも、美味しかったので是非食べて欲しいてす。一つからでも買えます。レジで朝取れた鰹のお刺身をオススメされたので、食べたらこれたま、むちゃくちゃ美味しいかったです。並んでる列を見たら、諦めようかと思いますが以外に回転が早いので、待ち時間少ないです。やいろ亭のカツオのタタキは、大きくて食べ応えありました。ひろめで安兵衛の餃子も、美味しいかったです。人気があるので、早めに注文した方がいいです。平日でも、20〜30分かかりました。(Translated by Google)The bonito tataki was great.There are many restaurants, and I ate tataki from two restaurants.Myojinmaru's salt tataki came with squeezed yuzu juice, and it was really delicious to eat with it.The seaweed tempura was also delicious, so I highly recommend you try it. You can buy even just one.The cashier recommended some bonito sashimi caught that morning, so I ate it and it was extremely delicious.When I saw the line, I thought about giving up, but the rotation is fast, so I don't have to wait long.Yairotei's bonito tataki was large and filling.Hirome Yasubei's gyoza was also delicious.It's popular, so it's best to order early.Even on weekdays, it took 20-30 minutes.
