Kochi sits on Shikoku's south coast with no large alternative city nearby, so on the main days (Aug 10–11) the city's hotels run almost full, and with pre-night demand stacked on top, rooms get extremely scarce early.When rooms open & cancellations appearRooms for the main days sell out early. Cancellations return around last-minute free-cancellation deadlines, and widening to Nankoku, Konan or Ino adds inns reachable by the Dosan Line or car.If it's full: nearby towns
