Kochi-Aki Cycling Road

The Kochi-Aki Cycling Road (高知安芸自転車道) is a scenic coastal bike path in Kochi Prefecture that runs approximately 32 kilometers between Kochi City and Aki. Following the former Gomen-Nahari railway line, the route offers a smooth and mostly flat ride with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, sandy beaches, and lush greenery.

Along the way, cyclists can stop at Katsurahama Beach, known for its picturesque coastline and the statue of samurai hero Sakamoto Ryoma, or explore small fishing villages and roadside markets selling fresh local produce. With well-maintained paths and a relaxed seaside atmosphere, the Kochi-Aki Cycling Road is a great option for cyclists of all levels looking to enjoy the beauty of Shikoku’s southern coast.

Route

As the route runs on an old railway it is effectively flat. It’s almost entirely away fro the road as well which is nice. It’s a lovely 19km view of the ocean

Along the way there are rest areas that give wonderful sea views!
