    Wakayama Pref. Kinokawashi Momoyamachoudanshinden lily
    This is an area that is famous for producing peaches just about a 20-minute walk from the Shimoisaka Station on the JR Wakayama Line. It is called Togenkyo (meaning paradise) because the area is filled with the perfume of peach blossoms from late March to early April. This area is located along south bank of the Kinokawa River. It is said in this area one may take in 100,000 peach trees in one glance, and it has been selected as one of 100 Best Aromatic Landscapes by Ministry of the Environment . The peaches grown in sandy soil with ideal watershedding conditions in this warm climate are painstakingly harvested and sold under the brand of Arakawa Peaches and distributed all over Japan. In early April, many events along with the Momoyama Festival are held.

    Wakayama Ito-gun Katsuragicho Hanazono Kuki 364-26
    This rest stop is located along the Koya-Ryujin Skyline at an altitude of 1040 meters. The rest stop features a garden planted with more than 3,500 hydrangeas and a photogenic background of coniferous trees and mountain ranges. The best time to view the hydrangeas is from mid-July to early August, which is later than in the lowlands. The rest stop has much to offer in terms of seasonal scenery including the one thousand rhododendrons that bloom in the spring and the red fall foliage. Fall visitors can also see one of the Top 100 Sunsets of Wakayama Prefecture. The rest stop's restaurant serves characteristic local dishes such as seasonal wild plants, amago-meshi (rice cooked with red-spotted masu trout), and matsutake mushroom dishes, a seasonal exclusive. The rest stop also sells local specialties such as Japanese umbrella-pine and yakiyogomi (toasted mugwort dumplings).
