The 55th Muroto Kanhō (November 28–29)

Date:

　The Muroto Kanpo is an event initiated by the Kochi University Karate Club to strengthen the physical and mental resilience of its members. It involves walking approximately 90 kilometers from the Asakura Campus in Kochi City to Cape Muroto, all through the night.

　The event starts at 9:00 a.m., and participants are disqualified if they do not reach the finish line by 3:00 p.m. the following day; however, approximately 60% of participants complete the course every year.In recent years, participation has exceeded 500 people annually, including not only members of the karate club but also students, faculty and staff, international students, and students and alumni from other universities. Now in its 55th year, the event has firmly established itself as a signature event of Kochi University, and we continue to hold it with the understanding and support of the local community.
We warmly welcome participation from both current students and members of the general public. (However, high school students and younger are not eligible to participate.)

For more details, please see the information on the 55th Muroto Kanpo.
