Description
This is a shared day sightseeing tour led by a trilingual driver.Visit Wakayama Castle, Bansho Garden, Osugi Highlands, and Shirahama Ocean Park.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Osaka and head to Wakayama Castle. Explore Momijidani Garden, a traditional landscape garden that showcases seasonal beauty year-round: cherry blossoms in spring, lush maple greens in summer, brilliant foliage in autumn, and serene snowy scenery in winter. Stroll through peaceful pathways and admire reflections dancing on the pond’s surface.
Next, visit Bandoko Garden on the scenic Bandoko Peninsula. Walk along the dramatic coastline shaped by Kishu blue stone, enjoying cool sea breezes in summer or crisp ocean air in winter. Lunchtime is the perfect moment to savor fresh local seafood at a nearby restaurant.
Continue to the Oishi Plateau, a natural highland featuring a vast field of pampas grass. In spring and summer, the highland becomes a refreshing green panorama; in autumn, the silver grass turns a glowing gold under the sun; in winter, the surrounding mountains often take on a tranquil, frosty charm. Climb to a viewpoint for sweeping scenery and photo-perfect memories.
Finally, visit Shirahama Marine Park, famous for its white limestone cliffs and stunning ocean views. Whether framed by deep blue summer skies or a fiery winter sunset, the contrast of white rock and sea creates unforgettable imagery. As daylight fades, enjoy the shifting colors across the horizon—a spectacular finale to a day filled with nature at its finest in every season.
