How could you come to Kochi and miss the legendary “Niyodo Blue”! The Niyodo River is famous for its crystal-clear water. When the sunlight hits it, the whole river looks like someone spilled a palette of blue paint—so beautiful it doesn’t seem real.
This time, I took a yakatabune boat ride, enjoying the pleasant afternoon breeze and slowly drifting downstream while taking in the scenery along the banks. I felt so relaxed I didn’t want to get off the boat. Along the way, we also passed distinctive bridges, dams, and caves, with a different surprise around every bend.
I have to say, this boat ride was truly romantic and soothing. Just sitting there, zoning out and watching the river, was already so worth it!
