Wakayama, with its beautiful ocean and sacred mountains, is an underrated gem and a less-traveled destination compared to the neighboring cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. On this trip, I spent three days, beginning in the coastal prefectural city and traveling inland to Koyasan, a sacred mountain retreat.

I’m Amish and our community hosted a Japanese master craftsman for a few years. My family has a furniture company that I run the sales and computer aspects for. I also make fur coats as another business venture. I actually lived with this Japanese master craftsman in Wakayama for a few months. Very beautiful part of Japan. As someone who is Amish I’m not accustomed to dense urban areas and this Japanese master craftsman lived in a very rural area. Perhaps a place you should consider if you are visiting Japan.
Please watch audio levels. Music too loud, speaker too low and that not even consistently throughout the video.
It is truly a pleasure to watch your travel videos, they provide a different sense of happiness…
Love your channel. I show segments in teaching fellow seniors about Japanese history and culture here in Maryland USA. I took the mountainside cable car to Koyasan instead of the trail. It was so scenic. The monastery stay and vegetarian meal there was so memorable!
Looks lovely. Added for our next time in Japan.
Great video, as always. Thanks for showing some lesser known places in Japan.
However I echo a previous comment that the audio is a bit strange in this video.
next is Kumano?
I visited Koyasan this Spring and I loved it. Definitely worth the trip
Raina, Matt already did Koyasan!
