    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Nakahechichouchikatsuyu 203
    This privately-owned café in the heart of the mountains in Nakahechi Town, Tanabe City, Wakayama, operates out of a 100-year-old Japanese home. The female Osakan owner provides a warm atmosphere. Their plate lunches which use plenty of brown rice and pesticide-free vegetables, as well as their homemade bread made with natural yeast, are very popular, drawing many fans from far and wide. Their natural yeast bread is also available to take-out.

    We found this great small resto by asking some locals, a lunch stop off the Kumano Kodo trail. Excellent set lunch meal, fresh flavors, brightly colored and carefully served. Its not so easy to...

  • Sabo Chincho-an (Hongu Branch)

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchouhongu 1110
    A Japanese confectionary shop established in 1951 located in front of the torii gate of the Kumano Hongu Taisha shrine in Hongu Town, Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture. The shop’s Kumano-mode-mochi rice cakes are often eaten by shrine visitors before worshipping at the shrine; simple in flavor, they consist of sweet an bean paste wrapped in mochi pounded rice and dusted with brown rice flour. The perfect place to take a break, Chincho-an also serves matcha green tea and mehari-zushi rice balls in pickled mustard leaves, a local dish, while still warm. Inside, the shop has a modern and quiet atmosphere with tables for customers.

    Wakayama Pref. Aridagunyuasachou Yuasa 23
    You’ll find this teahouse in the “Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings” in Yuasa Town, Arida County, Wakayama Prefecture. It was built in an old residence from around the end of the Edo period to the start of the Meiji period. The nostalgic earthen floor interior is always filled with music and has shelves with nearly 2,000 books. In addition to handmade cakes and Japanese sweets, there’s also homemade curry and rice, udon, and other popular dishes. You can bring in grilled fish and sashimi bought from the Kusuyama shop two doors down. Add them to the “rice set” that features Kinzanji miso and miso soup to create an original set meal.

    Wakayama Kainan-shi Kuroe 680
    "This cafe is in a refurbished lacquer artisan's town house from the Edo period. Their meals come served in the lacquerware you'd expect from a town where it was a major industry. Their dark black beef “Kuroe Curry"" is named after the area and gets its distinctive curry powder from a blend of bamboo charcoal and budo-sansho Japanese pepper from Kainan City and Kimino Town. They use wild rice. They also sell lacquerware, display it in their gallery, and hold Negoro lacquerware polishing workshops."

    紀州漆器のまち、黒江にある古民家カフェ。金比羅大権現から細い道に入ると古い町家が多く残っています。その中のひとつがこちらです。黒江には食事や休憩ができる場所がなく、こちらは貴重なお店です。

    海が見えるカフェということで行ってきました。こじんまりとしたカフェですので、午後私達が行った時はほぼ満席でした。メニューは名前の通りカフェメニューがメインで、食事メニューはカレーなど少しはありました。店内はオシャレで居心地が良い雰囲気でしたが、店に入る前に「静かに出来ないお子様お断り」の注意書きがありましたので、小さなお子さんがおられる方は入りづらいかもしれせん。

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.
