I thought Osaka was beautiful until I went to Wakayama
Do you think Osaka is already beautiful? Then you should check out Wakayama. Compared to the bustling Osaka, Wakayama is more like a quiet haven with fewer tourists but many attractions worth exploring.
Not only is there the world-famous Kodama Tram and the historic seafood market, but also Japan's No. 1 waterfall, dense forests, clear waterfalls, solemn shrines, blue sea and golden beaches.

🐱Kodama Tram: The Kishigawa Kodama Tram in Wakayama Prefecture is small and cute, and is a great way to experience the local atmosphere.
🌊Coastline: The coastline along the Kuroshio Line is long and winding with picturesque scenery.

🎈How to Play
♨Seaview Hot Spring: This is the oldest "Saki-no-yu" in Japan, with a history of more than 1,350 years. The ticket is only 500 yen (about 25 RMB). It is very comfortable to soak in the hot spring with the sea view of the Pacific Ocean and lean on the rocks to listen to the sound of the waves.
🏖Free beach: The beautiful Shirahama Beach, with fine white sand and clear water, allows you to listen to leisurely music and watch students playing volleyball shirtless, which is not inferior to the surfing teenagers in Kamakura.
🌇Small town scenery: Different from the bustling big cities, there is the largest seafood market in Kansai, where you can taste fresh and economical seafood.
🌊Sea view accommodation: Most of the hotels here face the sea. You can wait for the sunset in the free foot bath, listen to the jazz played by the band, or enjoy your personal sea view time in a private hot spring under the shade of trees.
🍤Food experience: Whether it is the hotel's one-night stay and two-meals, or Keynoodle's sea bream noodles and seafood tea rice, you can enjoy the delicious food to your heart's content.
🏠Specialized accommodation: The all-white dome tents in "ToreTore Village" look like cotton candy. It offers a variety of room types and even has a pet room.
