    Wakayama Wakayama-shi Saikazaki
    This place of scenic beauty is located in Bandoko no Hana, Saikazaki, Wakayama City. The garden, which is located on flat ground that protrudes into the ocean, was once the site of a watchtower used by the Kishu Domain to watch for approaching ships. Notable for its beautiful coastline formed by rare Kishu bluestone, the garden has also been selected as one of 50 places of scenic beauty in the Setonaikai National Park Special Zone. Visitors can view the seasonal flowers and also enjoy activities such as fishing from the shore, swimming at the attached private beach, barbecuing (reservation required). The garden also hosts weddings and other events and has even been used as a filming location for dramas.

    The garden itself is underwhelming (a bunch of shaped pine trees) but the views are incredible. You get even better views (without having to pay the Y600 fee) by taking the hidden path on the...

  • Nishi-no-Maru Teien Garden (Valley of Autumn Leaves)
    Travel / Tourism
    Wakayama Wakayama-shi Ichibancho 3
    This garden is located on the grounds of Wakayama Castle Park. A traditional strolling garden, it is designed to make maximum use of its scenic location on a slope at the base of Mt. Torafusu and has a pond and waterfall supplied by a spring. The garden is considered one of the finest of the feudal lord gardens dating to the early Edo period. Also known as the Momijidani Teien (garden of the valley of Autumn foliage), as this nickname implies, the garden experiences stunning fall foliage, and in most years visitors can take in the sight of vivid gold and crimson leaves reflecting off the surface of the garden's pond from late November to early December. Points of interest include the Engyokaku pavilion standing on the bank of the pond; and the Ofunaishi, a boat-shaped stone in the pond's center. Visitors can also stop by the Koshoan tearoom to enjoy a cup of matcha green tea while taking in a view of the garden.

  • Awashima Kaido Road

    Wakayama Wakayama-shi Kada
    "This shrine road extends from the old stone Kada guidepost to Awashima Shrine. The guidepost marking the start of the road stands beside the three-forked road junction a short walk from Kada Station in the direction of Kada Port; the characters on the guidepost state, ""Right: road to Wakayama; left: road to Awashima."" The narrow lane extending away from this point to the west was once a road used to travel to Awaji Island, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Today, many traces of this era still remain, including the former Kada Police Station (now a private residence), covered with white-painted wooden siding and a traditional kawara tile roof; Kadakasuga Shrine; and other old structures; and visitors can walk the road and imagine what the area looked like when it was a busy traffic hub."
  • Furo-bashi Bridge

    Wakayama Wakayama-shi Wakauranaka 3
    Located right next to the Furobashi bus stop a 30-minute bus ride from JR Wakayama Station. This stone arch bridge is situated across from Tsushima Shrine and has been designated an Important Cultural Property by Wakayama City. Built in 1851 by Tokugawa Harutomi, lord of Kishu Domain, it was built for the Tokugawa clan when visiting Kishu Toshogu Shrine. In the Edo period, stone arch bridges outside of the Kyushu region were extremely rare; of particular note is the exquisite cloud pattern relief on the railing believed to have been crafted by stonemasons from Yuasa Town.
