Other Sightseeing Spot Spots in Nachikatsuura / Taiji / Shingu Area

  • Nanairo Dam (Nanairo Valley)
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumano City, Mie Prefecture
    This dam is located approximately one hour by bus from the JR Kumanoshi Station heading to the final stop of Ogawa. The artificial lake is surrounded by cedar forests, cherry trees and rhododendrons, and the red leaves of fall are a stunning sight when the seasons change. It is an ideal spot for bass fishing, with many visitors coming every year, often catching fish 40 to 50 centimeters in length. The dam can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from children to adults. Slightly downstream of the dam, is Nanairo-kyoGorge, where clear water is celebrated, and as the name implies, the sight of the river mysteriously changing color seven times over the course of the seasons is enthralling.

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country’s most delicious ramen noodles.
