Visit Wakayama Castle and ride the Wakayama Electric Railway to meet the Cat Station Master!
Overview of your Osaka tour
Join my day tour starting from Osaka city and take the JR line from Osaka station to JR Wakayama station and visit the two must destination. Wakayama Castle Keep and park, was established by Toyotomi Hideyoshi who built Osaka Castle. Later was owned by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Wakayama Electric Railway from 2007, the world's first "Cat Super Station Master" was born. Now we have 4th, 5th, and 6th generation working as a Cat Station Master. Wakayama Prefecture, occupying most of the Kii Peninsula, is a naturally rich "wood country" with attractions including World Heritage sites such as the Kumano Kodo and Mount Koya, Nanki Shirahama Onsen. It is also a treasure trove of mandarin oranges, plums, persimmons, and seafood (tuna and grouper), and here is my favorite secret tourist spot in the Kansai region where you can enjoy history, spectacular views, hot springs, and food.
