Experience of the stay
A family trip with a 6-year-old preschooler and an 11-year-old. The semi-suite room for three was spacious and clean with a lovely view! If it were just the adults, we could have enjoyed a whole day staying at the hotel while enjoying delicious drinks with the view. However, with the kids, we hit the town! My son, who loves all kinds of vehicles, was thrilled to ride the streetcar for the first time. The vibrant atmosphere of the Hirome Market raised our spirits naturally.
In the large public bath area that we were looking forward to, there was a surprise service of tea, yuzu ginger juice, beer, and ice pops, pleasing both adults and children!
The Yosakoi live show held at 9 PM was something I particularly wanted my daughter to see, but she got too tired and crashed. Instead, my son, who I thought wouldn't be interested, participated and really got into it! It seems to have been a memorable experience for him; even now, back home, he sings and dances to show me.
Experiences during the trip
On this trip, the family decided on one activity each.
My son's request was to visit the Tekei Movable Bridge, which is about an hour from the hotel. At a set time, the bridge rises to allow a ship to enter the harbor. You can only cross it for 7 hours a day. As the crossing signal begins to sound, you can feel the excitement of the spectators, and when it starts to move, everyone gasps, "Oh!!" When planning your visit, be sure to check the crossing times.
My daughter's request was to check out the Aki Municipal Stadium, which serves as the training ground for the Hanshin Tigers. There were photos from their championship win in 2023 and a comment board from fans who visited during the autumn camp, raising hopes for 2025.
My husband wanted to visit Katsurahama, but he has a fear of heights, so he was unable to fully enjoy the experience due to the height of the bridge along the way (laughs). I wanted to try the Katsuo tataki, but underestimated the year-end in Kochi. It turned out that you can't get in anywhere without a reservation… I lost count of how many places I asked about, and in the end, I couldn’t eat it, but my kids found the experience fresh and exciting, saying, "We tried to go to many places in Kochi but couldn't get in!" It seems that the more challenging experiences leave a stronger impression than the successful ones.
I plan to stay at OMO again and definitely try the Katsuo tataki!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
