Depending on the season, you can enjoy various experiences. In recent years, Wakayama Prefecture has been attracting attention from around the world as a tourist destination. Every year, many overseas tourists visit Wakayama Prefecture as a place where they can learn about Japan in depth, such as Koyasan and Kumano Sanzan, natural scenery, hot springs, traditional culture, and the spirituality of the Japanese people from ancient times. Wakayama has charms that cannot be experienced in urban areas.
