Situated on Wakayama Bay, Wakayama City is a sprawling metropolis with plenty of unique attractions. Tour the striking Wakayama Castle, take a ferry out to the atmospheric Tomogashima islands, or spend some time Porto Europa, a theme park designed to look like a European town. The city is also filled with plenty of treats for foodies, whether you choose to sample fresh fish at the Kuroshio Market or travel to the nearby town of Yuasa, the birthplace of soy sauce, where you can tour a production plant and taste a bit of soy sauce for yourself.
