Visit Wakayama 探訪和歌山

Ancient trails wind through sacred mountains, passing rustic hot-spring resorts in Kumano, the spiritual heartland of Japan. Follow paths walked by pilgrims to thundering falls and shrines shrouded by groves of old-growth cedars.

Enjoy heartfelt hospitality and special experiences in Wakayama’s mountaintop temple town Koyasan. Gain exclusive access to history-rich temples through overnight stays, try shojin-ryori cuisine, prepared by the priests, and join guided walks and activities.
