Wakayama Prefecture's Absolute Essentials

Wakayama Prefecture serves as the spiritual center of Japan, anchored by the UNESCO-recognized Mount Koya and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes. This collection features Kongobu-ji, the head temple of Shingon Buddhism, and Okunoin, the nation's largest cemetery. Natural and architectural landmarks include the 133-meter Nachi Falls, the red-lacquered pagodas of Seiganto-ji, and the ancient Niutsuhime-jinja Shrine. The list is rounded out by the historic Jison-in temple, a traditional gateway for female pilgrims, and the prominent hilltop fortifications of Wakayama Castle.
