Wakayama Prefecture
Wakayama is a Japanese prefecture in the Kansai region, on Honshū island's Kii Peninsula. Its namesake capital is home to Wakayama Castle, an Edo-period replica set in a hilltop park with city views. Pilgrimage routes connect a trio of Shinto shrines collectively known as Kumano Sanzan. More than 100 temples rest among the peaks of Mount Kōya, where Shingon Buddhism is headquartered.
