About Wakayama
Wakayama is a castle city on the Kii Peninsula south of Osaka, a gateway to Mount Koya and the Kumano pilgrim roads, with mandarin and plum orchards.
Wakayama is the capital of Wakayama Prefecture, on the Kii Channel at the mouth of the Kino River, and was the seat of the Kishu branch of the Tokugawa family. Its castle, rebuilt in concrete after the Second World War, stands on a hill in the middle of town with a garden and views toward the sea. Kimiidera, a hillside temple above Wakaura Bay on the Saigoku pilgrimage, is reached by a long stone stairway.
