    Travel / Tourism
    Wakayama Nishimuro-gun Susami Cho Susami 4857-74
    The Underwater Post Box is about a 19-minute walk from Susami Station on the JR Kisei Line, in water about 10 meters deep 100 meters off the Karekinada Coast in the town of Susami. It was set up in 1999 on the occasion of the Nanki Kumano Taikenhaku, an outdoor exhibition, and it has been listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the world's deepest underwater post box. Visitors can buy special waterproof artificial paper for use in the underwater post box at Club Noah Susami. They do not even have to dive down to the bottom of the sea to mail their postcards; staff members will do it for them.
  • Aquamarine Shirahama
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Wakayama Nishimuro-gun Shirahamacho Waterfront 448-1
    "This is the oldest diving facility in Shirahama, right off the beach, a 30-minute drive via National Route 42 from the Nanki Tanabe Interchange of the Hanwa Expressway. Due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current, the sea around Shirahama is very clear, and diving is enjoyable year-round. The Diving Experience Course, which lets beginners walk around underwater without worries, is highly recommended. Holders of a C-class diving license can enjoy a ""fun dive"" with a guide. The facility is equipped with a seawater pool, where customers can refresh their skills or learn to dive for the first time. All the necessary equipment is available for rent."

    Wakayama Higashimuro-gun Kushimotocho Kashino 1035-6

    長期観光旅行の一泊を、ここのログハウスで楽しみました。 11月下旬ですが、他にも利用客がありました。 惜しくも雨で星空は見れず、時間制で貸切の露天風呂も利用しませんでした。 ガスも通っているし、コンロもあるので串本で食材を買って、朝食は自炊(?)しました。 トイレ付きにものにしたのですが、トイレは手作り感ありの”外付け”で、ちょっと寒かったかな。 車はログハウスに横付けできました。

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country’s most delicious ramen noodles.
