This summer, Japan is also enduring an intense heatwave. For travelers planning a holiday in Japan, why not escape to a hidden retreat for a refreshing getaway? The Shimanto River in Kochi, Shikoku, is known as “Japan’s last pristine stream.” Its clean water remains cool even in the summer. Here, you can take a cruise, experience traditional fishing methods with local fishermen, paddle a canoe to enjoy water activities, or cycle along the riverbank to admire the mountain and forest scenery. Kochi Prefecture is currently recruiting mystery travelers. Just share the kind of summer experience you’d like to have, and you could win a chance to visit Kochi for a free 5-day, 4-night hidden retreat trip.
