Description
Explore Wakayama Castle Park on a guided walking tour. Visit the castle keep, stroll through Nishinomaru Garden, enjoy matcha tea, and visit the Wakayama City Zoo.
Step into the heart of Wakayama’s history and nature on this immersive walking tour through Wakayama Castle Park. Begin by exploring the iconic castle keep, perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the city. Learn about the legacy of the Tokugawa lords who once ruled this region.
Stroll through the serene Nishinomaru Garden, a beautifully landscaped retreat featuring a tranquil pond and traditional architecture. Enjoy a peaceful moment sipping matcha (green tea) in a teahouse, just as samurai and nobles once did.
Visit the Wakayama City Zoo, located inside the park, where you can observe a variety of animals in a charming historical setting. Then cross the elegant Ohashiroka Bridge, a covered wooden corridor that once connected the feudal lord’s residence to the castle — a rare architectural feature you won’t find in many Japanese castles.
