KCZ is the airport code for Kochi Ryoma Airport, serving Kochi, a city on the Pacific coast of the island of Shikoku, in southern Japan. The airport is named after Sakamoto Ryoma, the famous 19th-century samurai and reformer who was born in Kochi and is a great local hero. Kochi is the capital of its prefecture, a relaxed coastal city known for its castle, one of the few original castles remaining in Japan, its lively Sunday market, and its cuisine, above all seared bonito, or katsuo tataki. The wider Kochi region is one of the greenest and most rural in Japan, with dramatic coastline, the clear Shimanto river, and mountains, part of the pilgrimage island of Shikoku with its 88 temples. Kochi is reached by flights into Ryoma Airport, from Tokyo and Osaka, and by rail and road across Shikoku. The climate is warm and wet, with a rainy season and warm summers.
