Traveling to Wakayama, don't miss the beautiful scenery of Shingu Onsen

Shingu Onsen, written in Japanese as Nanki Shingu Onsen, together with Nanki Shirahama Onsen, are the most representative hot spring scenic spots in Wakayama Prefecture. It is also the central base for visiting the World Heritage Sites such as Nachi Mountain, Nachi Waterfall, Kumano Sanzan, and Yoshino Kumano National Park. Since the 1850s, the hot spring resort in Shingu appeared overnight, and one after another hot spring hotels appeared, quickly filling up the place. Until today, Shingu is still the best place to soak in hot springs in the Wakayama area. Unlike Shirahama Onsen, Shingu Onsen does not have high-end entertainment and leisure facilities. What it has are picturesque natural landscapes and a fishing port base famous for tuna. Every November, a grand hot spring offering festival is held at Kumano Nachi Taisha. When it comes to Urashima, you might think it's a Japanese fairy tale, but in fact, Urashima is a representative hotel here. The hotel has seven hot springs for guests to enjoy. The most famous is the cave hot spring, which is very interesting. And many hotels are facing the sea, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bay.
