You don't need to go to Hawaii to watch whales and dolphins in their natural surroundings. Did you know you can watch them in Japan? Kochi, formerly known as Tosa, is so linked with whales that they appear in local folk songs. From spring to autumn, you can get a close look at whales nursing their babies, and a school of hundreds of dolphins. Feel the natural riches of the Pacific Ocean!
