    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Ryujinmuraryujin
    One of the preeminent skyline parkways in the Kii Peninsula, this mountain road runs from the sacred Mt. Koyasan to via Mt. Gomadan to Ryujin Hot Spring. The tolls for this parkway were lifted in October 2003, allowing the beauty of the vibrant yellows and reds of the beech and mountain sumac trees to be enjoyed by all while overlooking the contiguous peaks of Kii. Famous as one of the best areas for cruising, this parkway is as one of the top 100 scenic roads in Japan. Although the roads are clear throughout the year, during the icy months of mid-December through the end of March, motorcycle passage is regulated.

The roughly 230 meter-long Kawabata Street leading to Kotonoura Onzan Soen is lined with historic buildings including the old workshop-homes of lacquerware artisans as well as wholesaler shops. The neighborhood is notable for a sawtooth layout created by all the buildings being aligned to the street at the same angle. On the first weekend of each November the district holds the Kishu Lacquerware Festival, which celebrates Kishu lacquerware and the Kuroe district. Every August 14th the district hosts a night market called the Getaichi, meaning ""clog market,"" a tradition that has continued for more than a century."
