What people say

"🇬🇧 My friends from Kyoto and Osaka tell me it takes them longer to get to Wakayama than to Tokyo (which is actually much further!)... but is it worth it to go? I would say: definitely!! 🥳 Wakayama has some amazing nature, no crowds at all, the old pilgrimage route of Kumano Kodo (sister route to Spain's Camino de Santiago), outdoor hot springs by the beach and the best oranges in Japan! 🍊 __________________________________________________________________ 🇪🇸 Mis amistades de Kioto y Osaka me dicen que tardan más en llegar a Wakayama que a Tokio (¡que está mucho más lejos!), así qué... ¿vale la pena ir? Yo diría: ¡por supuesto! 🥳 Wakayama tiene una naturaleza espectacular, a penas turistas, la antigua ruta de peregrinaje de Kumano Kodo (hermanada con el Camino de Santiago), aguas termales al lado del mar y las mejores naranjas de Japón 🍊"
