Wakayama Dentetsu

Reviewed By PeterthePauper - Ulsan, South Korea

Having seen a frequent 'spot' on CNN titled "60-Second Vacation" which featured Wakayama Prefecture, I decided to make the short hop from South Korea across to Osaka and spend a few days exploring Wakayama and the Kii Peninsular by train. The 5-day JR-West train pass I purchased on arrival at Kansai Airport for my travels also included travel on the Wakayama Electric Railway (Wakayama Dentetsu) - Kishigawa Line, so I was able to spend a few hours traversing the 14.3km line getting on and off trains at the main intermediate stop (Idakiso) in order to try each of the 4-themed trains ('Strawberry', 'Plum', 'Toys' and 'Tama'). The narrow gauge single track railway is wonderfully retro as it rattles and rolls its' way through the Japanese countryside and although there is no particular reason for travelling to Kishi, the experience is all about travelling on these wonderfully unique trains.

Wakayama Castle

Reviewed By WarnerL_12 - Pasadena, United States

This is a very beautiful sticking up through the fall colors, the interior like so many other is devoted to its history. If seen from the right vantage point it is as impressive of any other well known castles.

Kuroshio Market

50 minutes from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) by car. The largest number of tuna cutting shows in Japan. The fattiest part of tuna (Otoro) sushi is must-eat in this market. It's a kind of tourist seafood market. At the seaside BBQ area, you can grill & eat all the seafood purchased in Kuroshio Market. Some of the seafood can be prepared as Sashimi or steamed/boiled, free of charge.

Reviewed By jesdaap - Bangkok, Thailand

Travelers who are interested in the lifestyle and culture of tourist attractions do not miss this market where a local fruit village(market) is adjacent. The must is tasting local fresh seafood & fruits and watching the first time of tuna slice at 11.00 hrs.
