Wakayama: Private Custom Tour with Local Guide

Built in 1585, Wakayama Castle is the former residence of the Kishu Tokugawa clan. The white castle tower perched atop Mt. Torafusu offers a stunning 360-degree view of the city. Take a stroll through the beautiful Nishinomaru-Teien garden, also known as the Momijidani Garden, to experience the elegance of feudal Japan.

Established in 770 AD, this historic temple is famous for its early-blooming cherry blossoms and the 231-step stone staircase known as the Step of Good Luck. From the main hall, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the sparkling Wakanoura Bay, one of the most scenic spots in the region.

Located within Wakayama Marina City, this bustling seafood market is a paradise for food lovers. Witness the powerful tuna filleting show (held daily) and enjoy the freshest sashimi, sushi, or a coastal seafood BBQ for lunch. It’s the perfect place to experience the vibrant local food culture.

This scenic area is home to historic landmarks such as the Furobashi, a unique arched stone bridge, and seaside shrines. A walk along the coast offers a refreshing breeze and a peaceful contrast to the city’s energy.
