Kochi Local Food and Classic Japanese Ramen 🍜🇯🇵 #ramennoodles #ramen

In Kochi Prefecture’s Niyodogawa Town, we stop at Drive‑In Hikichibashi Chaya, a historic roadside restaurant along National Route 33 near the clear Niyodo River and scenic Kukibashi Bridge, ideal for a Shikoku countryside road trip. Here, a steaming oden pot and charcoal‑grilled river fish such as ayu and amago showcase local river cuisine and make a perfect rest stop for drivers. The shop, founded in 1954 as a tea house and now run by long‑time owner Kayoko Fujiwara, is known for its light, slightly sweet ramen made from vegetables and chicken bones, topped with pork‑belly chashu, egg, Kochi‑grown green onions and decorative Tosa kamaboko. With popular takeaway oden, nostalgic noodle dishes and a warm, local atmosphere, this cozy drive‑in lets visitors experience Kochi ramen, Niyodogawa’s clear‑stream food culture and classic Japanese roadside dining in one visit. 📍Drive-In Hikichibashi Chaya 62 Hikiji, Niyodogawa‑cho, Agawa‑gun, Kochi, Japan #kochi #ramen #japantravel #ラーメン #高知 #旅行
