Kochi Prefecture is located on the southern coast of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands. Known for its pristine natural environment, the prefecture features rugged coastlines, the Shimanto River (considered Japan's last clear stream), and vast mountainous areas covered in forests.

The region has a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in its samurai history, particularly associated with Sakamoto Ryoma, a prominent historical figure who played a crucial role in Japan's modernization. The prefecture's capital, Kochi City, is home to one of Japan's twelve original castles that remain intact. The local culture is characterized by the famous Yosakoi Festival, traditional paper-making (Tosa Washi), and a vibrant food scene featuring fresh seafood and regional specialties like katsuo no tataki (seared bonito). The prefecture maintains a strong commitment to preserving its traditional arts and crafts while embracing contemporary cultural expressions.
