    "10 minutes from the Nanki-Tanabe Interchange on the Haniwa Expressway via National Route 42. This group of beautiful rock formations is situated along the upper reaches of the Inari River and the area has been designated a nature park by the prefecture. The name for the formations literally means ""Toad Rock Group"" and is derived from their resemblance to a group of toads looking up at the sky. The area around Iwaguchi Pond is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring, and walking paths in the area make it a perfect destination for nature walks and hiking. Numerous rare plants also grow in the area, and author and scientist Minakata Kumagusu is known to have frequently come here to gather specimens."

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.
