はりまや橋
A bridge made famous by a story that took place here; a young monk had a secret affair with a woman but one day he was seen by the bridge buying a hairpin which was a telltale sign that he had a lover. Because monks were not allowed to be romantically involved with anyone, he and the woman fled together before he could be punished. The Yosakoi song, played by each dancing group in the famous Yosakoi Festival (see "Do" section), is about this event and directly names the bridge in the lyrics. The bridge is very small so it's probably only worth visiting if the story interests you.
地球33番地
This monument was constructed at 133*33'33" East Longitude, 33*33'33" North Latitude, marking the unique spot where 33 appears consecutively in all six markers. Its name roughly means "Earth house number 33". There are only 9 other places in the world where such a thing occurs and this is the only one that can be easily reached by public transport.

高知県立牧野植物園

高知城
Kochi Castle is one of the few original white castles in Japan. Uniquely among Japanese castles, it is the only one in which both the main keep and palace buildings have survived. Access to the castle grounds is free, and the entrance fee to enter the castle is well worthwhile. The views from the castle are spectacular.
龍馬の生まれたまち記念館
The 2-floor museum features information and artifacts from Sakamoto Ryoma, his family, and Kochi city during the days when he lived here.
