What this video shows

From the guide “How to Get to Wakayama: Koyasan, Tanabe and Rail Routes”: Wakayama is a prefecture with several separate travel gateways, not a single station or one standard route.

The guide goes on: “Choose the right gateway before booking”. The Kii Peninsula’s main rail and road approaches run along the coast, while travel inland to places such as Koyasan or Hongu involves separate connections.

From the guide “Things to Do in Wakayama: A Practical Guide”: Wakayama offers very different kinds of visits: a castle in Wakayama City, Buddhist sites and activities at Koyasan, coast and attractions in Shirahama, pilgrimage routes in the Kii mountains, and a soy sauce brewery in Yuasa.
