Wakayama City, located northwest of the Kii Peninsula, is a region rich in nature. The climate is Seto Inland Sea-style throughout the year, making it a warm and comfortable region. One of Wakayama's highlights is Wakayama Castle. The castle tower towers in the center of Wakayama City and is said to have been built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's younger brother. In 1619, Tokugawa Ieyasu's tenth child became the lord of the castle and lived there. The castle's stone walls are made from stone that is a specialty of Kishu, allowing you to truly experience Wakayama Prefecture. Climbing the castle tower offers a panoramic view of the city, and the majestic Kinokawa River has a tranquil presence. It is a historic region in harmony with nature. Approximately 40% of the prefecture's population lives in this city.
