Wakayama: What to Do and Where to Stay

Wakayama is three trips, not one. Wakayama city is about an hour from Shin-Osaka or Namba; Koyasan is about 1 hour 40 minutes by Nankai limited express from Osaka Namba to Koyasan Station, then the Koya Rinkan Bus; the Kumano shrines and Nachi Falls are far to the south.

Shirahama, the hot spring and beach town on the coast, has its own pages below.
