Visiting Wakayama Castle and Rinku Park

On Day 4, we had a wonderful day exploring the culture and natural scenery in Wakayama City and Rinku Town.

After enjoying ramen at Wakayama Station, we took a bus to Wakayama Castle, the residence of the Kishu Tokugawa family. We took photos at the lookout and visited the tower, appreciating the ancient architecture and greenery in the mountain castle gardens.

During summer, the lush greenery provides shady spots that are great for relaxing and staying cool. We loved walking around Wakayama City and soaking in the natural beauty around us.

Then we headed to Rinku Town, which is very close to the airport. We strolled around the outlet mall and took a photo with the Ferris wheel.

As the sun sets, a gentle sea breeze brushes against our skin. We stroll through the park, enjoying a peaceful moment. When night falls, we light up some handheld fireworks, taking in the fun of summer Japanese traditions.
