    A Japanese sweet shop located in the Koyasan area in Koya Town, Ito County, Wakayama Prefecture. The shop is famous for its grilled rice cakes, a favorite treat for visitors to Koyasan to eat, as well as the Miroku-ishi, a renowned sweet named after the stone of the same name found on the grounds of the Okunoin Temple. The shop’s hijiri yokan jelly is made according to an ancient treasured written recipe; this historic culinary gem was once an essential part of local Buddhist vegetarian cuisine.

Koya.

    焼き餅が有名というから期待していたんだけど、焼かれて冷えてしぼんだ餅でした。しかも、1つだったからかとにかく無愛想な対応。高野山で嫌な思い出になりました。

  • Natural Foods Store Shion

    Wakayama Kinokawa Kishigawacho Kodo 802
    This natural foods store is located in front of Kishi Station on the Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line. It offers additive-free foods made with organic fruits and vegetables grown in the rich natural environment of Wakayama, healthy handmade bento boxes, and other handcrafted products. We especially recommend their strawberry confiture, a jam which preserves the rich flavor and refined sweetness and fragrance of Marihime strawberries, an original cultivar of Wakayama. The shop's attached cafe, which offers a selection of daily lunches, mini desserts, natural beverages, and other items, is a great place to relax while waiting for a train.
  • Cake TERU

    Wakayama Hashimoto-shi Sudacho Kamihyogo 280-1
    "This shop offering natural sweets made with choice ingredients is located next to the Hashimoto-higashi Interchange on the Keinawa Expressway. The shop, which has a basic concept of ""easy on the body,"" makes its sweets with Suzuran eggs, a heritage egg of Hashimoto, Yotsuba butter, rock candy, and an original wheat blend. The shop forgoes the use of oxygen absorbers in its packaging to assure that the flavor of its teru, galletes, and other baked sweets is not adversely affected. We especially recommend their line of Kouya sweets, which includes financier cakes made with plenty of persimmon, mandarin orange, and plum, the three main specialties of Kishu."

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.
