Ablauf
Tomogashima is a cluster of four uninhabited islands off the coast of Wakayama, accessible via a short ferry ride from Kada Port. The main island, Oshima, is famous for its abandoned Meiji-era military forts, red-brick ammunition depots, and overgrown tunnels that have slowly been reclaimed by nature. Because of its atmospheric, mysterious vibe, it has become a popular destination for hikers and photographers who often compare the ruins to the floating island in Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky. There will be a guided tour and some time to have a boxed lunch!
Your guide will bring you around Wakayama Castle, a striking hilltop fortress originally built in 1585 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and later ruled by the powerful Tokugawa clan. You can climb to the top of the white three-story castle keep to explore an extensive collection of authentic samurai weapons and armor while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding city. The expansive castle grounds also feature the beautiful Nishi-no-Maru Teien, a traditional Edo-period landscape garden known for its scenic pond and peaceful walking paths.
Before and after the ferry you will have a short amount of time to look around the area. There are some old buildings, nice views and a temple with more dolls than you can imagine!
