The Kumano-kodo (Kumano ancient road) that connects the three Kumano Mountains of the Koyasan mountain range, was registered as a world heritage in 2004. Wakayama consists of Kihoku, Kichu, and Kinan areas, each of which has many unique sightseeing spots worth taking your time. Wakayama is the leading producing prefecture of many crops including mandarins, Hassaku oranges, persimmons, and plums, just to name a few.
