【Aikido × Travel】Relaxing in Kochi – Day 4, Final Day
By community, yesterdayAround 8 a.m., we shared our last breakfast with A-san.
She returned to Tokyo, while we set off to explore Kochi area. Having spent three days together, parting felt a little lonely, but with smiles we wished each other a wonderful day ahead.
We rented a car once again, relying on his memory to guide us. Mike told me that when he lived in Kochi, he stayed at the foot of the mountains.
“There’s a temple here.”
Knowing my fondness for shrines and temples, he stopped the car. We climbed the stone steps toward the main hall on the hilltop, and when I turned back, a breathtaking view of the mountain village unfolded before me.

“Do you know how to get to the venue?”
“Not yet, but I think I can figure it out.”
“In that case, I’ll send you the map.”
Today’s excitement wasn’t just about the seminar. A social gathering was planned for the evening, and the three of us were invited to join.
