Sightseeing in Wakayama!
This video, titled "Wakayama Sightseeing PR Video," was uploaded by "Wakayama City Official Channel."
It compiles the recommended sightseeing spots of Wakayama into one video.
As you can see in the video, cherry blossoms can be enjoyed in spring, sunflowers at Shiki-no-sato Park (Food Hunter Park) can be enjoyed in summer, and autumn leaves can be enjoyed at Momijidani Teien Garden in the fall.
There are other sightseeing spots in Wakayama as well, and it's definitely a place worth checking out.
Highlights of Wakayama Castle
Wakayama used to be the domain of the Kishu Tokugawa family, one of the three great families of the Edo period (1603-1868 AD).
Wakayama Castle, the former residence of the Kishu Tokugawa family, measuring 555,000 koku (~125 acres), has many attractions, such as Ohashi Corridor and the castle town.
It is designated as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and a Special Historic Site.
You can also try on armor at Wakayama Castle, which is shown from 1:10 in the video.

Itakiso Shrine and Tamatsushima Shrine, shown at 5:10 in the video, are places where you can feel the long history of Wakayama, and Kimiidera Temple, where a large statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon (eleven-faced Kannon) is enshrined, are must-visit places.
At Awashima Shrine, shown from 9:12 in the video, you can see "Hina Nagashi," and event held every spring in which dolls are floated down the river to pray for good health.
We also recommend checking out Furobashi Bridge, Sandankyo Bridge, Kankaikaku, Bandoko Garden and Yosuien as well.
From observatory in Kada, you can see Tomogashima. (Jinoshima, Kajima, Okinoshima and Torajima)
At Tomogashima, the former fortress shown from 11:59 in the video, there are ruins of the second weapon battery, the first weapon battery observation station, and the third weapon battery.
Also, be sure to check out Tomogashima Lighthouse and Kosukematsu Coast for some beautiful views.
