    Wakayama Wakayama-shi Negi 148
    This is a 20-minute walk from Senda Station on the JR Wakayama Line. Situated on the east side of Wakayama City, this estate, facing one of the pilgrimage routes which made up the Kumano Kodo highway, belonged to a prosperous village official of Wasa district at the end of the Edo period. The largest estate in the Kinokawa River basin, features include a three-story high scenic lookout tower and a 20-tatami mat reception hall. In 1974, the estate's main building as well as its front gate, nagayagura row warehouse, kitagura northern warehouse, uchigura inner warehouse, and honor gate and attached building were designated Important Cultural Properties. Renovations were conducted to preserve the estate over a 10 year period starting in 2000, and in August 2010 the estate was opened to the general public.

    立派な家です。しかも手入れが行き届いています。見に行ったときにも、五人の人が、庭の雑草をむしったり、何らかの作業をしていました。維持管理が大変だと思いました。

    Wakayama Pref. Itogunkouyachou Kouyasan 682
    Toshogu Shrine which enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo shogunate, and his son Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun. It used to be on the premises of Daitokuin, but in the Meiji period, Daitokuin merged with another temple and only this reidai was left behind. Facing the mausoleum, Ieyasu is on right side building while Hidetada is on the left. The structure was designed in hitoe hogyo-zukuri style and is 6.5 meters in both length and width, respectively, while the interior is lavishly decorated in lacquer and gold leaf.

    Wakayama Pref. Itogunkouyachou Kouyasan
    This bell tower is located just west of Kongobuji Temple. It's thought that Fukushima Masanori, a warrior of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1573–1603), had it built for his parents in 1618 as a prayer for their enlightenment. The current bell tower was remade in 1640 by his son, Masatoshi. It's famous for its unusual engraving that blends Chinese and Japanese characters. Even after all this time, the bell is still rung nine times a day, every two hours from 6:00 in the morning until 22:00. There's also a clamp in the stone foundation below the bell said to have been placed there by Ishikawa Goemon. It's said if you touch it, your relations will prosper.

    Wakayama Pref. Aridagunyuasachou Yuasa
    A 10-minute walk from JR Yuasa Station, this area has preserved the old townscape of Yuasa-machi, known as an inn town for pilgrims on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route and as the birthplace of soy sauce based on Kinzanji miso, which was introduced by a monk who trained in China during the Kamakura period (1185-1333). The area is divided into streets and lanes, and the atmosphere of the Edo and Meiji periods, with rows of townhouses that used to be soy sauce brewers, remains strong, allowing visitors to feel close to the tradition and culture of the area.

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Ryujinmura Komatagawa 27
    The historic building is a 15-minute walk from the Komatagawa bus stop, but it also has a parking lot, so it is possible to drive there. Built in 1863, it is a Prefectural Cultural Property. Tenchuso's Nigori Nagao and others who were fighting to overthrow the feudal lords and restore the imperial monarchy were being hunted by feudal forces when they turned themselves in. After being given sake and having their wounds treated, and before being conveyed to prison, eight men were imprisoned in this building, which the local farmers were using as a storehouse for rice. The current building is a reconstruction, and an exhibit insides tells the store of the rebels and the poems they wrote before they died.

    Wakayama Pref. Wakayamashi Wakauranaka 3 Shihaiyama

    四季折々の和歌浦の風景を見る為、紀州藩によって造られ庶民にも開放されたそうです。現在は鉄筋コンクリート製ですが、これも随分と老朽化し解体される予定です(内部はロープが張っていて入れません)。
