This place was bigger than I thought it would be! Because this place is so big, you’ll need to walk a lot. You can buy tickets at the entrance and if you walk a little bit, you’ll see a fountain with penguins swimming. You can see the animals in such a close distance but I think their habitats are too small. One thing I don’t understand is that the red panda gets a decent amount of space and the other animals live in a small space or is too populated. Other than that, the events and food are nice.

We came for the pingu smile party as it’s his 45TH bday. The dolphin show is spectacular you can tell the dolphins are close to their trainers and treated well. They even do a little dance and wakeboards with the trainers. The smoke party collab is cute and very Japanese. The only thing is the rides are paid and the penguins could use bigger homes there’s too many of them

Nice zoo and theme park setup. The marine mammal show was amazing and the staff swimming with them were so friendly and vibrant. Nice safari ride past African animals. Many animals to view. It's good value for money.

Such a wonderful place. The setting makes it the most picturesque zoo I’ve ever been to. Nice walking path to see animals.

I was disappointed because there was no panda in zoo . Rest all is good nice place to visit with kids for a day. Kids can see various animals and have fun rides

Park size is not that large. Easy to walk. A lot of cute animals. Animal shows are highly recommended.

Pretty empty on a Tuesday 11am. Nice show with the dolphins, safari was nice but quite small and most importantly no panda in sight... after asking the staff, all pandas were sent back to China in June... pretty sad about it as I paid 5300 yen entry to see them. apparently all pandas over the world were sent back to China for breeding. Wished I knew it before, so be warned. If you have kids, it's a nice theme parc. However as 30 yo couple, it's just okay. 3 stars due to deception... Sept 2025

The scenery view to the ocean on a clear day is amazing. Afternoon sun highlights the cliff face. I went in Jan 2025 so it was winter 7 degrees. The wind was very strong. I did not pay to take the cave trip but read reports it’s worth it.

20251101 - took 20 min bus from shirahama jr station. area have a cafe, free footbath and a paid entry inside the cave. Ticket cost 1500 yen and an elevator goes down to lower section where you can see many different rock formations, a nice shrine and experience the strong waves crashing into the cave during high tide. Ticket is a bit pricey for the relatively quick experience but good to experience once.

Interesting area, probably over priced at $15 per person for approx 15 mins. has a cafe & shop attached.

Very Small little cave complex. The waves coming into it were quite impressive. However I felt a little hassled by the staff. At 1,500 per adult it seemed a little pricey for its size.

It seems the shogunate used this cave as a hideout. It was a okay place. If you are in the area you can visit, don't go out of your way to visit this place. Tickets are 1500 yen, which is expensive compared to what you got to see...

The cave is located in Shirahama and was carved by ocean waves of the Pacific Oceon thousands of years ago. It was used as a hideout for the pirates known as " Kumano Suigin" a local pirate who controlled sea routes along Kii Peninsular during Heian period (794-1185). Information and history about the cave can be read at the information centre. To explore the old cave, we have to take a 36meters elevator down. There are also a Shrine, old pirates clothes, & weapons used. It is full of historical mysteries and wonders. We had a wonderful experience visiting the cave. It is one of my favourite visited place in the area.

Price is steep compared to other attractions in Japan standard. The cave could be finished within 10 minutes

A hidden place for cherry blossom in week days. Recommed to visit here by driving. 360 degree of sea shore and sunset. Airport is very closed too, can see plane take off/landing

It is a very lovely place to go and to enjoy nature and when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. As a matter of fact, we are going to go there again today to see the Cherry blossoms. They've also just completed some more renovations, which are, in my opinion is a great improvement. If you are in Shira Houma during the cherry blossom time of year, it's a must go see!

Good place if you like walking and nature

Beautiful park. Loved the peace and the quite. Textured due to its mountain location. The sky deck is hidden behind the entrance hall.

It looked like a nice Park, however they don't allow pets, maybe it's not fair to give it a low rating for that, but I couldn't really make the most out of it because I was with my dog.

Nice park ... but a little bit small...

Very nice park with many varieties. Maybe needs a little more maintenance. Huge parking and a very nice toilets.

Nice weather and fresh air here If u have a kid It’s a very good choice here Have several mini playground here and a big one

Its a great place for the kids. A lot of playing options are available

Awesome place to spend time with kids.

Huge and clean. Seek out the mountain trail in the back 40.

Very nice location for people with children

Best public park in the area

Fun place for kids

I love the food. Very fresh. Service staff are friendly. Atmosphere is very nice and clean.

Beautiful restaurant also for seafood and not so touristic and neither so expensive like the Tore tore seafood market.

I visited this restaurant during lunch hours. Although at first look they seem like a sushi restaurant, they offered a fish based soup ramen with some sushi on the side. It was surprisingly good, especially the soup. The price was affordable and they had a wide selections of lunch sets. Would recommend.

Delicious sea food

Price reasonable and delicious seafood

(Translated by Google) When I went to Shirahama on a family trip, I wanted to eat delicious seasonal local fish, so I found "Kanpachiya Seafood Restaurant" while driving. I went there at night, and the restaurant was full of customers. There was a fish tank at the entrance, and the atmosphere was good, as if I could eat delicious local fish. The Kanpachi platter included raw whitebait, and the bitter taste went well with sake. Speaking of local foods, Hirome wakame, fried moray eel, grilled turban shell, and fried Wakayama's No. 1 tachiuo were all delicious, but I was most addicted to "marinated red shrimp". It's not a local product, but the shrimp was marinated to the best of my taste, and I ordered more! For the final course, we had a 12-piece raw whitebait gunkan nigiri platter, but other than that there were few local fish, and there was a lot of tuna, salmon, eel, red shrimp, etc. It was a little disappointing compared to what I expected as there were many ingredients that you can get anywhere. The prices seemed high overall, but if you want to eat delicious seafood in the Shirahama area, this is a restaurant I would recommend! (Original) 家族旅行で白浜へ来た時は、美味しい旬の地魚を食べたいので、ドライブしながら見つけたのが「海鮮レストラン　勘八屋」 夜に来店しましたが、店内はお客さんが満席、入口に生け簀があったり、美味しい地魚が食べれそうな雰囲気が良いです。 勘八盛りには生シラスがあり、 ほろ苦さがお酒に良く合いました。 地物と言えば、 ひろめワカメや、ウツボの唐揚げ、サザエ壺焼き和歌山水揚げ№１のたちうお1本揚げは、どれを食べても美味しかったんですが、一番にハマってしまったので、 「赤海老沖漬け」 地物では無いんですが、海老の漬け具合が最高に良くて余りの美味しさに追加注文してしまいました！ 〆は、にぎり盛合わせ十二貫生シラス軍艦は入っていましたが、それ以外は地魚が少なく、マグロ、サーモン、鰻、赤海老等 何処でも食べれるネタが多きて期待していたより、少しがっかりですね 全体的に値段が高く感じましたが、 白浜方面で美味しい海鮮料理が食べたいならおススメできるお店ですね！

(Translated by Google) It was very delicious and relatively reasonably priced, which was great! My companion ordered the Goto Udon set, which he said was also very delicious. I'd like to stop by again next time I visit Shirahama. (Original) とても美味しくて、値段も比較的リーズナブルで良かったです！ 同行者は五島うどんのセットを頼んでいましたが、こちらもとても美味しかったそうです。 また白浜に行く際は立ち寄りたいです。

Tore Tore Ichiba is an absolute paradise for seafood lovers! The variety and freshness of the seafood here are unmatched. From live shellfish to premium cuts of tuna, everything is top-quality and reasonably priced. The market is lively, with friendly vendors offering samples and recommendations. The oysters and scallops were incredibly fresh, and the sushi selection was delicious. I also loved the local orange juice—it was rich and refreshing, the perfect drink to complement the seafood feast. The atmosphere is bustling but well-organized, making it an enjoyable experience for both tourists and locals. If you’re in Wakayama, this market is a must-visit for an authentic taste of Japan’s seafood culture! Would definitely come back again!

This is the cleanest "wet" market I've seen so far. Ok, it's a semi wet market, albeit having not much space 😉. Tore Tore Ichiba is also a tourist spot, especially on the summer day - so I was told. Plenty of stuff to buy - skewed shiifuud desu. Fresh sakana for sale. It has a huuuuge aquarium with cool fishes. Enjoy your stay with lots of tabemono. I've had a bowl of UDON soup "OISHII!" There's also a Play place for kids (claw machines and slots for toys. There is also a supppa to buy your omiyage aka pasalubongs!

Terrible Experience – Never Again The staff member at the BBQ check-in counter was unbelievably rude. He couldn’t speak English, yet he shouted right in my face and looked furious when I didn’t understand his broken English. I had booked a table for four, but he just kept yelling “NEXT!” with no explanation — so I had no idea if we had a table or had to wait. One minute later, he suddenly said there was a table upstairs. When we got there, more than half of the tables were completely empty. So why force customers to wait outside in the scorching heat at 12 p.m.? The organization and crowd management here are a joke. Food is overpriced and nowhere near worth it. 3400yen for a table with grill for 2 adults and 2 kids including unlimited soft drink also overpriced. Seafood was not fresh as advertised. The desserts sold outside were awful. One visit was more than enough — I will never return, and I strongly advise my friends and anyone reading this to stay away.

A famous seafood market right next to the motorway. Plenty of free carparks. Lots of shopping and eating opportunities. A place not to be missed. Remember to bring your own bags as they charge for bags.

Watch the cutting of live tuna at 12 noon. Order and eat seafood around the many food stalls in the market. Must try the different fish cakes as they are fresh and juicy.

Lots of fresh seafood. Table outside to eat or grilling stations for ¥1,000/pp.

A large seafood market for tourists. There is a huge parking lot for free. A/C in the indoor area. Some shops can accept credit cards so it’s more convenient for the foreigners. The sea urchin rice bowl (うに丼) we purchased was not very fresh. Overall, it’s still a good place for food and souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) According to word of mouth, there was a line even before it opened at 11:30. I arrived at 11 o'clock and waited at number 1. One after another. It was windy and cold outside and I was waiting. The owner of the store asked me to come inside😊 What a considerate shop👏 My eldest son had a special lunch, and my eldest daughter had a thinly sliced ​​lean meat lunch. I'm a middle-aged rose lunch. Added assorted hormones. What surprised me the most was the rice🍚!! ️ It's shining! Super delicious😋 I think it's the best thing I've ever eaten at a restaurant. The offal is fresh, odorless and delicious. The meat is really tender and delicious. The meat that came with my eldest son's special lunch looked like it was fatty! I really recommend all of their lunches. I was happy. (Original) 口コミで11時半オープン前でも並んでいると🤔 11時に着いて1番で待っていたら 次次と。 外は風が強く、寒くて待っていたら お店のオーナーさんが店内に入って下さいと😊 何と気のきくお店かと👏 長男は特上ランチ、長女は赤身の薄切ランチ 自分は中落ちバラランチ。 追加でホルモン盛り合わせ。 一番驚いたのは、ご飯🍚‼️ 光っている！メチャクチャ美味い😋 今迄に外食で食べた🍚の中で一番かと。 ホルモンは新鮮で臭み無く美味い。 お肉は本当に柔らかくて美味しい。 長男の特上ランチの一緒に入ってた肉は大トロみたい！ 本当にどのランチも全てお勧めします。 喜んでました。

(Translated by Google) Located near JR Kii-Tanabe Station, this is a popular yakiniku restaurant that also serves lunch. This time, I visited for lunch. I had the special yakiniku lunch. I usually only go to popular restaurants, so this was quite a luxury (lol). The rice in the photo is a large serving. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant. Various barcode payments are available. (Original) JR紀伊田辺駅近くにある、ランチ営業もしている焼肉の人気店。今回は、ランチで訪店。焼肉ランチの中から、特上ランチを頂きました。大衆店しか行かないので、これはかなり贅沢ですね（汗）。写真のごはんは大盛りです。駐車場は、お店の裏にあります。各種バーコード決済使えます。

(Translated by Google) I think it's one of the best yakiniku restaurants in Tanabe, and the top loin is very tender and delicious. I feel it's a little greasy, though. They also have a reasonable lunch. Although they don't have completely private rooms, most of the rooms are private, so it's appealing. (Original) 田辺の焼肉屋さんではトップクラスにお値段のいい方だと思いますが、上ロースなどはとても柔らかくて美味しいです。少し脂っこいかな、とは感じますが。お値打ちのランチもあり。完全な個室ではないですが、他の人と会わない部屋が多いのも魅力。

(Translated by Google) If you're not sure where to go, go here! It was delicious! I visit every year as a regular for my birthday meal. I recommend making a reservation. People who arrived later were told that the restaurant was fully booked. There is an affiliated parking lot 🅿️ a little further away. I think it's the Maruni parking lot. The parking lot is located along the one-way street that leads from the station through Family Mart. Be careful not to drive the wrong way on your way back. (Original) 迷ったらここ！ 美味しかった〜毎年、誕生日のご飯定番に訪問します。 予約はしておいた方がいいと思います。後から来はった人は予約で満席ですと言われてたので。駐車場はちょい離れたところに提携駐車場🅿️があります。確か、○二（マルニ）駐車場だったと思います。駐車場は駅からファミリーマート抜ける一方通行沿いにあります。帰りは逆走しないように気をつけてください。

(Translated by Google) I want to eat tender and delicious meat! I use it during the day and at night. Meat grilled over binchotan charcoal is delicious! I have an image that people from outside the prefecture often come here. Lunch is reasonably priced, so I think anyone can go there! The lunch menu includes a yakiniku lunch and a set lunch menu. (Depending on the day, there are days when only yakiniku lunch is available.) The special lunch (2,750 yen) comes with 2 pieces of each of 5 different parts, perfect for those who want to eat a variety of meat✨ Whatever you eat is delicious! I'm also happy to have tongue stew! I'm also interested in the menu of single hot pot items! . There are also seats on the first and second floors. In the evening, we are accepting reservations for groups of 5 or more. There is a sign in front of the store with information on where to park. (Original) 柔らかくて美味しいお肉が食べたい！という時に、お昼も夜も利用しております。 備長炭で焼くお肉は美味しい！ 県外の方もよく来られてるイメージです。 ランチはお手頃な価格なので、どなたでも行きやすいかと思います！ランチメニューは、焼肉ランチと、セットランチメニューあり。（日によって焼き肉ランチのみの日もあります。） 特上ランチ（2,750円）は、5種類の部位が2枚ずつ提供され、色んな種類を食べたい方にぴったりです✨ 何を食べても美味しいです！タンシチューがあるのも嬉しい！単品のお鍋のメニューも気になります！。 一階と二階にも席があります。 夜は、5名以上から予約を承っているご様子です。 駐車場の場所の案内については、お店の前に看板がつけられています。

(Translated by Google) Used on 2021/8/11. This was my second dinner, and I was very satisfied this time as well. Since it's a high-quality meat, I can't eat a lot because of the money and oil, but it always fills my mind and body. Beef tongue is really delicious. Next time, I would like to order something like the recommended menu of the day. I went there right after it opened, and was shown to a table, but I think the yakiniku eaten in the tatami room is even more delicious, so next time I'd like to eat it upstairs again. (Original) 2021/8/11に利用しました。 2度目のディナーでしたが、今回も大満足。高級なお肉なだけにお金と油を見ると量はたくさん食べれませんが、いつも心と体が満たされます。牛タンがほんまに美味しい。次はその日のおすすめメニューみたいなものも頼みたいです。オープンすぐに行ったのもあり、テーブル席への案内でしたが、やはり座敷で食べる焼肉がより美味しく感じるので、次回はまた上の階で食べたいなと思います。

(Translated by Google) The meat is top quality and the liver is fresh and impressive. It's best to wait in front of the store early as it fills up immediately after opening. (Original) お肉が上等　レバーも新鮮で感動 オープン直後いっぱいになるので早めに店の前で待つのがベスト

Buddhist or not, you cannot help but be impressed by the size and magnitude of the OTorii gate and the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine and complex. It is one of the 3 main shrines on the Kumano Kodo network. It is a Shinto Shrine with 4 main Buddha's to worship. In these shrines, common folk are to look through fences. I don't personally connect with that. I like to look at the statues I'm praying to and connect with the eyes, etc. But this is the Shinto way. The complex is bustling with pilgrims, both Japanese and foreign, mixed together. Some are there because one of the most frequently walked Kumano Kodo Trails ends a stage here, and some are visiting Japan. It's well worth a visit and you could spend an hour on the grounds. It's blossom season, so I'm lucky!

As the main shrine in the Kumano Sanzan, the outlook of the shrine is more ordinary. You would need to walk up a long stairs before reaching the main shrine, which is quite spectacular when viewing from top. The place is quite spiritual with not much tourist and people but nature sounds and beauty. For me, it was quite refreshing to visit this place.

The fifth stop on the Kumano Kodo Hosshinmon-oji hike is Kumano Hongu Taisha, the main shrine of the trail. It's a beautiful and peaceful place to get your stamp and take a break after the walk.

Our pilgrimage along the Kumano Kodo trails began at Kumano Hongu Taisha, and it felt like both a natural and symbolic choice. In the tradition of the three Kumano shrines, Hongu represents the «present» — the moment that is lived here and now. For me, as a practicing Buddhist, this was a profound spiritual experience: the journey begins with the very moment where life, breath, and meaning exist. The shrine stands deep within the mountains of the Kii region, surrounded by dense forests and rivers that have been considered sacred for centuries. The landscape is both harsh and generous: the rushing waters of the Kumano River, the mist shrouding the peaks, and the thick greenery all give it a sense of being apart from the everyday world. It is no wonder that since ancient times people have come here seeking purification and renewal. The mythology of Kumano is closely tied to deities of death and rebirth. Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the storm god, is worshipped here, as is Izanami, the primordial mother associated with the realm of the dead. Yet through these figures also runs the idea of renewal — entry into the «Pure Land», where past and future converge. It is no coincidence that emperors of the Heian period came here to pray for rebirth and the salvation of the soul. The history of the shrine has not been without hardship. In 1889, a flood destroyed the original sanctuary that stood on the banks of the Kumano River. Since then, the main shrine has been rebuilt on higher, safer ground, where it remains today. On the site of the former shrine now stand the great Otorii — the largest shrine gates in Japan. There is a rule that the inner sacred area should not be photographed, and it is important to respect that. We traveled between the main shrines mostly by bus, walking only parts of the route, and this became a reflection for me on what truly defines a pilgrimage. Yes, in the past people walked these mountains for weeks, but what matters is not the means of travel, but what you carry within. This journey is made with the heart. Each visit to a shrine, each prayer, and each pause became part of an inner journey, regardless of how I physically arrived there. The Kumano Kodo is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and to walk (or ride) along it is to join a thousand-year-old tradition. Beginning at Hongu means beginning with the present — with the living moment that opens the path to awareness. Pilgrims then usually continue to Hayatama Taisha (the past) and finish at Nachi Taisha (the future). This order carries a deep inner logic: to live the present, to recognize the past, and to face the future.

A beautiful smallish temple. Free to enter. There are a number of steps you have to climb to get to the top.

Finally reached after 2 days hiking and was totally worth it. Majestic, welcoming, inclusive, serene, beautiful, so many details to enjoy. Surprising not more busy.

End of Kumado Kodo pilgrimage trail 😃. Serene place where you can just close your eyes and medita... until the tourist next you starts eating chips 😃. You can buy some "merch" tho the hemp bracelet is overpriced and low quality but I mean it is what it is. The final stamp is awaiting you pilgrim. If you are dual pilgrim (did Camino) show up at the shrine office. The head priest will initiate drumming celebration of your achievement :).

Oyunohara Sanctuary sits just beyond the huge Otorii gate, surrounded by towering trees that give it a calm and sacred feel.

The former location of the shrine have a small forest remains which is quite spectacular and spiritual.

We hiked to get here and you could see the edge of this torii all the way across town as soon as you step out from the trees because it is SO big. Its open 24 hours but during the night there was no lighting at all, and if you plan on seeing the shrine nearby it closes at 5. There is a stamp here and one at the shrine too. Busses get more rare in the evening and there are less places to eat at night.

Wonderful structure and you get lost on its size and calmness. The whole area is extremely beautiful and peaceful. In the uphill shrine stairs, we happened to confront a group of 200 local students visiting the place, and every single of them say hi to us one after the other- surprisingly lovely and memorable :)

The largest Torii gate in Japan, the title itself is worth visiting. It has a large site, behind it is a cedar forest which nestles the old site of the Hongu Taisha before it was flooded and rebuilt at its current spot. Do not miss out visit the river site just beside the old site, it's a nice place to have a rest before returning on the route atop the flood barrier for a different angle of the Torii gate.

An absolutely mind blowing experience. The feeling of calm in this area is incredible. Not only is the view stunning, but you’re walking on such an ancient piece of Japanese history! Be sure to check out the travel centre and learn all you can about the region of Wakayama. You won’t be disappointed!

Such a cool place to visit ! Next to the Kumano Hongu Taisha and a few little cafes and restaurants ! . I would recommend going earlier in the morning or late after noon for the best photos/viewing of the Tori gate. I visited during the midday sun so the Tori gate was cast in shadow which made photos a little underwhelming.

Oldest onsen in Japan. 800 yen per person. You have to pay per person whether you are using it by yourself or with your partner. It's a unique experience that you are only able to experience in Japan. The onsen water can be really hot, so you need to turn on the cold water. Sometimes you have to wait more than an hour.

You need to bring your own towel. There’s no queue for the public bath, but if you want to try the special blue onsen, you’ll need to purchase an additional ticket. The blue onsen allows 1–2 people at a time for 30 minutes per session. When buying the ticket, you’ll be informed of the wait time. You can also buy onsen eggs nearby.

Buy your raw eggs at the cafe and place them in the middle of the hot pool to cook your very own Onsen eggs. Definitely lots of fun. The streets smell of sulphur steam coming from pipes...

Great experience! Tsuboyu was quite an experience. 1) buy the tickets at the automated machine close to the normal onsen (800yen); the person there will give you a number 2) buy towels there or bring your own 3) line up (if necessary) according to the number you received 4) remember: shower before coming here, there are no showers 5) enter the barrack after taking off your shoes 6) check the water temperature: if it is too hot, you can use the massive water outlet to cool it down (recommended) 7) mix the water with the wooden stick 8) enjoy! 9) use the small warm water tap to fill the buckets and rinse yourself

This is the oldest hot spring in Japan. Strong smell of sulphur in the area. It is also part of kumano kodo pilgrimage area. Pilgrims soaked here to purify themselves before visiting kumano shrines. The color of the hot spring water changes several times a day due to natural minerals. You are allowed to buy eggs at the nearby convenient stores and cook in the boiling hot spring water. It will cook in about 12 minutes. You can pay small amount of money to bathe in a tub of a tiny stone hut privately about 30 minutes per session, but it is a long wait.

Great public bath. Quite new, very clean, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner us even provided. We brought our own towels and therefore only paid 400 Yen. Great value as they have two different temperatures baths. Would have wished for a cold plunge bath. Overall great experience for this little money we paid. Tattoo friendly place.

But a ticket on the vending machine, and then you will get a ticket entry. You need to go back a bit and then straight, until you see a sign on your right to the onsen. There you put your number card next to the door and enter when called. The water were very hot as we were the first of that day and took about 10 minutes to cool them down. The ones was very cool, you can go as a couple and tattoos are ok

Stay here and you can enjoy one hour hiking to kumano hongu taisha.

A nice stop area with some local suveniors and small eating place. Simple tasty meals and you can enjoy some red maples if you're in the right season.

Convenient little place to stop at if you're hiking the Kumano Kodo. Had very clean bathrooms and a good selection of snacks and cold drinks w/vending machines outside for additional options. Good area to sit and eat a snack or light lunch if you're hiking between Takahara and Chikatsuyu.

This was an unforgettable hike! We went through Oku Japan, who scheduled our hotels and meals. It was truly an amazing experience!

Delicious and warm food, especially after a long hike.

It was an unforgettable experience. Super special.

Great place to stop and recharge while doing the Kumano kodo. Toilets, food, drink and seats, all you need.

very chill， you can get water here

(Translated by Google) 2024.7.20 After participating in the sutra copying session, I made a request to Ichigan Jizo. A friend of mine told me that my wishes would come true, so I asked for one. I regret that I would have contacted them in advance if I had known that they would be able to offer a special prayer, but I am glad that I was able to attend. It seems that you can pray for your wishes up to the day ending in 7 on the day ending in 8. Please, may your wish come true.

(Translated by Google) This temple is home to Ichigan Jizo, a Jizo statue that is said to grant one wish. It's small and there aren't many things to see, but it's a great place to stop by for a quick look. It's customary to offer sake and chili peppers to Ichigan Jizo. They are sold on the grounds, so please buy some! The painting on the ceiling is worth seeing! *Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 Free parking and toilets available (Original) 願いをひとつだけ叶えてくれると言われる一願地蔵が有る寺院、小規模で見所は少ないがチョイ見に立寄るには最適な場所w 一願地蔵さまには酒と唐辛子をお供えするのが習わしです境内にて販売しているので購入して下さい！天井絵は一見の価値有！ ※参拝可能時間 9時～17時 無料駐車場有、トイレ有

(Translated by Google) It is located in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture. This is a temple located on the way to Kumano Kodo. I have been visiting this shrine since I was a child. There is also a Jizo statue who can make your wish come true. I prayed quietly with my children. It's a great way to explore Kumano Kodo. The offered alcoholic beverages are not sold in the main hall, but at the shop below. The scenery was also very nice! (Original) 和歌山県田辺市にあります。熊野古道に行く途中の外れにあるお寺です。 子供の頃から参拝させて頂いています。 一つ願いを叶えてくれる地蔵様もおられます。 子供達と静かにお祈りさせてもらいました。 熊野古道散策の一つにとてもいいです。 お供えのお酒は本堂では販売してなくて、下の売店で販売しています。 景色もとても良かったです！

(Translated by Google) I offer sake and chili peppers before praying. It is said that one wish will be granted. The result of my water fortune-telling said, "If you wish strongly enough, your wish will come true." If my wish is granted, I will return to give thanks. (Original) お酒と唐辛子をお供えして参拝します。 願いを一つ叶えてくれるとの事 水みくじの結果に ｢強く願えば叶う｣と書かれてました。 お願い叶ったら お礼参りに伺います。

(Translated by Google) This is a wonderful temple where you can quietly pray while listening to the sound of the river. It's not the same legend of Anchin Kiyohime as the one passed down at Dojoji Temple, but a new version that begins with Kiyohime's upbringing, which is very interesting. The temple itself is small, so you can spend about 30 minutes at your leisure. Updated January 10, 2024 I returned after a seven-month hiatus, and noticed a sign that the shop in front of the gate that sells sake and chili pepper offerings will be closing at the end of May this year. Currently, it appears to be open only on weekends and holidays. The temple no longer sells these items, so visitors are now required to bring them from home when praying. Perhaps because of this, the explanation of why sake and chili peppers are offered as offerings has also disappeared, and there were almost no offerings at Ichigan Jizo. Perhaps this is because first-time visitors are unaware of the custom. It's a unique custom and culture that you won't find anywhere else, so it's a shame. I wish temples would sell them... (Original) 川の流れを聴きながら静かにお参りのできる良いお寺さんです。 道成寺に伝わる案珍清姫の伝説ではなく、清姫の生い立ちから始まる新説が非常に興味深い。 寺自身は小さいので30分もあればゆっくりお参りできます。 2024.1.10追記 七ヶ月ぶりに再訪しましたが、門前にあるお供え用の「酒と唐辛子」のセットを売っている売店が今年の５月末で閉店するとの表示がありました。 現在は土日祝のみ営業しているようです。 お寺では販売していませんので、参拝時は自宅から持参するという流れに変わっていました。 その為か、何故お供えに酒と唐辛子を供えるかという説明文も無くなっており、一願地蔵さんには酒と唐辛子は、ほとんど供えられていませんでした。 初めて参拝する人は、そういう風習がある事さえ知らないから仕方ないのかもしれません。 他所にはない、変わった風習・文化なので残念な気になりました。 お寺さんが販売すれば良いのにとは思いますが……

Lovely waterfall and river! The trail leading to the waterfall is peppered with little shrines, culminating in a temple with large window views of the waterfall. Behind the rest area, there are two water pipes. The pipe nearest to the parking lots is sought after by the locals who will bring their large water containers to collect the cold spring water. We did the same. 😉 Awesome!

I went to this location because of the autumn leafs report said the leafs here has started turning red. Today 15th Nov, 2023. I could see a bit of them has turned red. It’s alright. I just had to wait for the right weather to see the red leafs. Anyways, I just like to shared, at this location, there is a few space for car park, and a public toilet to use, before you cross the bridge into park. Beautiful scenery.

Beautiful nature, an iconic red bridge surrounded by fresh green (we visited in April but it’s probably amazing in fall), and there’s a waterfall and some shrines. If you follow the path up the mountain, you can find a huge Buddha relief carved into a rock wall. It’s pretty impressive. Lovely spot!

This slightly out of the way place has it all: big, noisy waterfall you can stand under, 400m of uphill jungly hiking to to a mysterious carved Buddha in the cliff, and a wild river gorge you can take a dip in amongst the boulders and pools. Free parking.

Stop by here in the way to Ryujin onsen. Lovely place. It will be more beautiful with autumn leaves.

Beautiful scene with small red bridge.

Place of beauty!

Interesting morning shopping, abundance of fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other produces

(Translated by Google) I came here to see ``samatsu'' (early matsutake mushrooms), but I was disappointed! The ``Samatsu'' sign remained forlorn. As expected, locally grown matsutake mushrooms are excellent! I wish I had bought it~ As expected of Wakayama! We bought two types of mandarin oranges. There were also plenty of citrus fruits and persimmons. (Original) 『さまつ』（早生松茸）目当てで訪問でしたが、残念！ 「さまつ」の立て札が寂しく残っていました。 流石に、地元産松茸は立派！ 買ってきたらよかったデスゥ〜 さすが和歌山！ うちは、みかんを２種購入。 その他、柑橘、柿も豊富でした〜

(Translated by Google) This mandarin orange is too good 😛 It's just as delicious as my mother's mandarin oranges, which she made with great care on the Oki Islands, and it brought tears to my eyes ❤️ Everyone should definitely try this, Gyotoku Ramen Grandpa's absolute recommendation 💯 (Original) このみかん、うますぎるぜぃ😛 隠岐の島で丹精込めて作ったお母さんのみかんど同じほど美味しく、落涙❤️ 皆さん、絶対に食べた方が良いぜ、行徳ラーメン爺の絶対オススメ💯

(Translated by Google) December 7, R5 11:30 December 8, R5 9:30 As I do every year, I visited Kinakan for the second time this year to buy mandarin oranges. Last time I visited NY-26, which is very early, I bought a considerable amount of mandarin oranges and they were delicious ♥♥♥♥♥ So, although it was a little late in the season, I visited with the aim of NY-26, but since the very early varieties had been discontinued and replaced by early varieties, I bought many mandarin oranges, tasted them, and managed to find one that I liked. I was able to purchase it. (Small tangerine about 20kg) I also bought lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. December 15, R4 9:00 This year, I visited in the latter half of September, and as usual, I bought a lot of early ripening mandarin oranges (green) 🍊, but in addition to that, ➕🍊➕🍊➕🍊 Every year, we participate in a competition for oranges 🍊 from farmers that we are looking for. 😁 I also bought some other cheap vegetables!! There was also sushi made with swordfish, so I bought it. 😋 (My house requires several cooler boxes.) September 25th, September 26th I'm visiting you to buy 🍊 like every year. This is the 🍊 aim of the producer you are looking for. Local people also came to buy their favorite ○○'s 🍊. (Original) R5年12月7日11:30 R5年12月8日9:30 毎年の事ですが、本年２回目の『紀菜柑』さんにミカンを買いにお伺いしました。 前回は極早生のNY-26狙いでお伺いし、かなりの量のミカンを購入して美味しくいだきました♥♥♥♥♥ それで、時期を少し逸していますがNY-26狙いでお伺いしましたが、極早生品種は終わって早生品種に代わっていたので、数多くのミカンを購入して味見して、なんとか気に入ったミカンを購入することができました。(20kg程度小さなサイズのミカン) 他にも新鮮な野菜や果物をいっぱい購入して帰りました。 R4年12月15日9:00 今年は9月の後半にお伺いして、例年通り早生ミカン(緑色)🍊をイッパイ購入はしましたが、それに加えて➕🍊➕🍊➕🍊 毎年のことですが、お目当ての農家さんのミカン🍊の争奪戦に参加してきました。😁 他にも格安な野菜をイッパイ!!買い求めました。 秋刀魚寿司もあったので購入しました。😋 (私の家では何個かクーラーボックスが必要です。) 9月25日、9月26日 毎年のように🍊買いにお伺いしています。お目当ての生産者さんの🍊狙いです。 地元の人たちも好みの○○さんの🍊を買いに来られていました。

(Translated by Google) Fruits (especially citrus fruits at this time of year) are plentiful and available at low prices. There are also many vegetables and flowering trees. We also have an incredible selection of pickled plums! There are many kinds of souvenirs, and you can enjoy just looking at them.

(Translated by Google) JA's direct sales office. As expected from Wakayama, there are quite a wide variety of plums and mandarin oranges. Also, there seem to be a lot of flower farmers around here, so the prices are much cheaper than flower shops. Not only local produce but also vegetables and fruits from all over the country are sold.

Beautiful tokoro. There was a festival (matsuri) when I visited this shrine. It was for some kind of blessing of wagons from different types of work. People everywhere are having fun and lots of food.

Very lucky to join the count down event, nice experience, very peaceful.

Just like a normal shrine, nothing special

Easy to reach, English information, picturesque, historical, with a park and indoor climate controlled rest area nearby.

Is a must for paper Goshuin collectors.

Beautiful and quiet shrine near Kii-Tanabe station. You can get beautiful goshuin here. The shrine is included in UNESCO's list of Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

So peaceful.

This is a lovely restaurant. The bar counter is decorated with many cute lucky cats, and I noticed many tourists enjoying their meals too. We ordered a tonkatsu and a beef bowl. While the flavors might not surprise you, the taste is definitely worth the price.

Kitchen is a great spot to grab a hearty meal after hiking from Hosshimon Oji to Hongu Taisha. I especially recommend their Karaage Teishoku set (fried chicken lunch) — the portions are gargantuan, the chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the whole meal filling. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and they’ve been consistently kind whenever I stop by for lunch. It’s also incredibly convenient — just a short walk (less than five minutes) from the World Heritage Center and Hongu Taisha.

Thursday 2.30pm Just walked out of Kumano trail and was very hungry. Have been planning to have soba but most other places are closed. So disappointed but at least this place stayed open!! Order and service was prompt. Food was served without much wait, serving temperature was perfect. Taste was pretty standard with Japanese food. Nothing out of the ordinary. Most importantly the place was clean and orderly. Only one toilet available and it is the old fashioned squatting type. Convenient place to pop by after your trek.

Nice teishoku (japanese set meal) restaurant just next to Kumano Hongu Taisha 🍱 We got the karaage chicken set meal - highly recommended! You get 3 big pieces of delicious fried chicken that are incredible juicy with rice and other side dishes such as pickles, miso soup and salad. It’s great quality and really filling for such a good value, only 1200 JPY. After finishing our kumano kodo trail, it was one of the few options that were open (until 15:30). Around 14:00 we did not have to wait for a table. English menu is available with pictures so it is very helpful if you are not familiar with the japanese set meals.

Great food - had an amazing karaage set, one of the best and I eat them a lot. Generous portion. Nice menu range. Super friendly and efficient service.

Nice spot for lunch. Staffs super friendly with my limited Japanese. Draft beer certainly welcomed on this hot day!!

Great spot for lunch ! I went back to back two days and had iced coffee, tonkatsu and mixed sandwiches . It’s a nice vibe , well priced and the food tastes fantastic! It’s cash only however it is directly across from the post office where you can get cash out via the ATM

Absolutely worst experience ever in Japan. It rained very heavily in the city today. After we entered the restaurant, we waited an extremely long time to order, even though there weren’t many customers inside. The food was passable, but the staff’s attitude was terrible—I’ve never experienced such poor service in Japan. After finishing our meal, we wanted to wait for about 10 minutes for the rain to stop before leaving, so we paid first to avoid inconveniencing the restaurant. However, the staff repeatedly rushed us to leave, claiming that other customers needed the table—even though there were plenty of empty seats available. When we asked if we could stay a little longer, we were rudely refused. Our entire dining time was less than 20 minutes. This restaurant is located in front of Kumano Hongu Taisha, and it’s an experience you’d definitely want to avoid on your trip.

I came with my friends. My partner had the カレー天うどん (tempura curry udon), and she said the broth was very flavorful. Unfortunately, the noodles did not suit the hot broth very well. I had the 天ざるうどん (Cold Udon with Tempura Set — Pictured). Service was exceptional, and the lady very kindly added a poached egg to my meal at my request. The noodles were a bit overcooked, but all the elements perfectly blended for a cooling dish: perfect in the summer heat. All in all, a satisfying pit stop on my way along Kumano Kodo. Would suggest to anyone needing a break on this scenic road trip. The scenery around the restaurant is wonderful.

Nice tasty fresh udon & katsudon. Enjoyed the time. My daughter found it quite tasty. Hope to be back sometime. Thank you !

great place to eat after visiting the nearby cultural and historical places nearby. We ordered a kitsune udon, sanma sushi and mehari sushi. All were good!

Really nice place to try a tasty Katsudon or Tendon set for just 1.000 yen.

English menu available. Portions are quite filling on their own so do consider this before ordering the set with extra rice and pickles

Ate some lovely curry udon noodles here. I would recommend the beef over the breaded pork. Gave us a much needed rest stop after walking along the Kumano Kodo, after seeing the awesome giant Torii gate at Oyunohara

We stopped by here for a quick lunch before catching our bus to Takijiri. It’s a short walk from the train station. Food was simple and service was prompt. Good value and clean comfortable restaurant.

A lovely restaurant in Tanabe. The sushi was amazingly fresh, the service was so warm and just so impressed with their attention to detail. One of my fave dining experiences to date. Highly recommend!

A short walk from the Tourist Information Center, this restaurant is opena bit later than most of the restaurants that close at 14:00. They offer incredibly fresh fish caught locally, and they also grow their own vegetables. Quick service, and of course the food is delicious!

Best place in Tanabe, went for lunch and then dinner. Ingredients sourced locally, mainly planted and harvested by the owners. Ran by an elderly couple. The sushi was amazing, prepared right in fron of you, just the right amount of wasabe, fresh ingredientes... Amazing. Beer pouring skills 20/10, just like the beers back home where each gulp leaves a ring of foam on the inside of the glass. Tempura was excellent, comes with a very nice soup, highly recommened.

Happened upon Horai Sushi as we were looking for a place for dinner. It's a nice little restaurant run by a lovely couple. I ordered a tempura appetizer and the sushi set meal. The sushi was very fresh and tempura was light and not too oily. Would definitely visit the restaurant again when in Tanabe.

owners were friendly and lovely. english menu available and price is worth.

Most delicious food, and such fantastic value.

food seasoning is on point! Free cabbage salad and yakitori are amazing! Also great ginger ale!

Absolutely delicious food in a very traditional and local Izakaya. Small selection of mostly chicken (and chicken parts) on the English menu, Japanese has more options. The tofu is to die for - and I'm allergic to soy. I didn't die, but if I did, I'd have died happy. It is made locally - literally by a bloke who lives up the road. For sides, the radish salad is incredible (get the dressing) as was the yam. As a foreigner, if you go, it might be best to research customs on how to order Izakaya. I don't think i offended anyone too much, but to the chef, I apologise deeply for any offense caused, you are a handsome and hardworking man. Come for the genuine local experience, ambience and food. You can't get much more 'real Japan' than this. It is a short and pleasant after dinner walk to most local Ryokan and Minshuku.

Absolutely the BEST izakaya we had during 1 month of stay in Japan!! Super nice Miso soup. The chicken liver yakitori is a must!!!! Hope to come back to enjoy yakitori. Keep it up, dude!!

Nice cosy place for a good traditional Japanese dinner. We don’t eat meat but this place have some very good food. The radish salad and home made tofu are yummy.😋 Goes well with the warm sake.

Great! Very worth the 20 min walk through the dark from Yunomine (fireflies will give you and who knows, you might catch a glimpse of tanuki).

Great little local restaurant! The food was delicious, we ordered yakitori, rice and radish salad (really good!), everything was very tasty. Highly recommend to stop by when visiting Yunomine.

Authentic, cozy izakaya with great value for money. The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm and local, and the staff were incredibly sweet. A real hidden gem — highly recommended!

Very amazing beach !! Very clean water White sand beach. I think this is one of the best beach in Japan. The parking car just in front of the beach is very cheap. Only 500 yen/day. Please keep clean and nurture this place !

This place made me wonder why Japanese travels as far as Thailand to a beach when they have such a beautiful beach like this one. The sand is so white and smooth. It is well kept and beautiful. People respectfully use the beach and the safety is well protected. I went to the season open festival and see the rescue demonstration. I also went there again at the sunset and in the morning. It is charming every time you go. You can't miss this if you are in the area.

20251101 - day was sunny during visit but the cool temperature makes it better. Beach is white and clean. There are several pop up stalls that sells food, drinks, games and gifts. The vast ocean and natural background makes it a nice place for photoshoot and rest.

It was even more beautiful in the morning. There were fewer people, and the white beach was bathed in sunlight. That’s where the day’s cycling began.

Probably the best beach in Japan. Beautiful sand and very good amenities next to the beach. The water is so clear and usually no waves.

Quiet beach sheltered by a reef so ideal for swimming. The water is as inviting as it looks. Showers and footbath at beach edge. There is also a hot spring bath during the season. This is open air so swim suits are worn. There is strange 'Squid Game' voice over the PA every hour telling you how to behave on the beach. Quite disconcerting the first.time you here it.

This is absolutely a clean beach 🏖️ with beautiful blue water. I loved the hot spring near the Coral Princess site. It is quite a view since you can enjoy the fresh breeze from the ocean while chilling in the hot spring. Everything about Shirahama beach is quite good and the area is convenient for everyone.

Admission fee: ¥600 The museum is so aesthetically pleasing. It’s so beautiful and very well-maintained. However, you’re not allowed to take photos inside the permanent exhibition room. From the first parking lot to the museum is quite a steep hike. But there’s a second parking lot which is closer, so look out for that. You have to pay for admission ticket to get inside, especially if you want to see the observation deck. However, don’t come when it’s raining because the observation deck is closed.

Good museum. However it's so far from bus stop.

We really enjoyed our visit to this museum. The museum is a modest three-story building which can be toured in under an hour. However, its exhibits are concise and effectively chronicle the life of Minakata Kumagusu, complemented by multilingual audio guides. We highly recommend the 360-degree observatory on the top floor, offering views of Engetsu Island, the expansive ocean, and the nearby town. (Note: The observatory may be closed during strong winds or inclement weather, so be mindful of the visiting hours.)

For make your trip into more intelligence , this museum is hidden spot where you should stop off in. Please filled up your interest in knowledge. Mr Kumagusu , he is a man of genius in the field of folklore , ecology , biology , and so on. Especially , Myxomycetology is one of his great achievement.

An amazing museum housing massive collection of lifework by this Japanese scholar, Kumagusu Minamikata. Enjoy breathtaking view from the roof top deck.

Good!

Love this place

(Translated by Google) This cape juts out into the ocean, offering a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean in Wakayama Prefecture. The atmosphere resembles the Uyuni Salt Flats, reflecting the sky and sea like a beautiful mirror. It's perfect for taking photos, especially during sunset. However, the road to the beach is quite narrow, so be very careful. Restrooms and showers are available at this location.

(Translated by Google) I went to Tenjinzaki, which I had wanted to go to for a long time!! I was worried about whether the tide would match my travel schedule, but the tide turned out to be just right at sunset! On that day, it was cloudy during the day and there was occasional light rain, so I didn't think I'd have much hope, but when we arrived, the sun miraculously appeared and I was able to take some Instagram-worthy photos♪ If you want to take Instagram-worthy photos, be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting your feet dirty! The tide is low, but you'll still get wet. In our family, the children wore sandals and chased small fish and crabs hiding in the shadows of rocks (lol). The road to Tenjinzaki is extremely narrow! There will be many roads that you won't be able to face, so please be prepared!

(Translated by Google) It seems like once a month, the scenery is reflected on the sea surface like the Salar de Uyuni. There seems to be a relationship between the tide and the conditions under which it looks beautiful, and it appears to be visible on sunny days when the tide is completely low and the area is filled with salt. It seems like the tourist center will let you know when the next time it will be nice to see it. (Original) 一ヶ月に一度ペースでウユニ塩湖のように景色が海面に反射されるみたいです。潮のみちひきと綺麗にみえる条件の関係があるようで、一度潮がすべてひいたあとにまた全体へ塩が満ちた日に、晴れていると見えるようです。観光センターが次はいつがきれいに見えるか教えてくれるみたいです。

(Translated by Google) I stayed at Kanpo no Yado and after checking out, I stopped by because it was right next to the hotel 🙂 Since it was early in the morning, there were only locals picking up trash and fishing, and we were the only tourists. So I was able to take a leisurely stroll and take photos. The water is clear and beautiful. The sunlight reflected and sparkled, and I was able to take some fantastic photos 📷 There were hermit crabs and crabs, and even though I'm old enough, I got really excited about natural creatures and had a lot of fun lol I would like to visit again this summer. (Original) かんぽの宿に宿泊してチェックアウトしてから宿からすぐだったので立ち寄りました🙂 早朝だったこともあり、地元の方がゴミ拾いしていたり、釣りをしている人だけしかおらず、観光人は自分たち二人だけでした。 なので、ゆっくり散策したり写真を撮ることができました。 水が透き通っていて綺麗。 日差しが反射してキラキラ、幻想的な写真も撮れました📷 ヤドカリやカニがいたり、いい歳して自然生物にテンションが上がりはしゃいでしましました笑 今度は夏にも訪れてみたいです。

(Translated by Google) I came here because I was told that I could take pictures of the Salar de Uyuni. It's hard to find a place where you can take the kind of photos you want. . . I think it also depends on the tides and the strength of the wind. The rest is luck! ! ! If I have a chance to come next time, I would like to try it at sunset before sunset. 2021.12.12 (Original) ウユニ塩湖のような写真が撮れるとのことでやってきました。 なかなか、思うような写真を撮れるところ見つからない。。。 潮の満ち引きや風の強さも関係してくると思います。あとは運！！！ 今度来るチャンスがあれば、日没前の夕日の時間にチャレンジしたいと思います。 2021.12.12

This all about the spectacular water views with fishing boats bobbing effortlessly in the water.

Good location and very friendly service even if english is not spoken the staff is very helpful (and they have an english menu)

it's awesome place and burgers are very good i love it

This is my definitive my favorite MOS burger branch. It has a stunning view and you can sit outside. I'm pretty sure there is no second MOS with this great surrounding. I went there several times and it was never really crowded so I really enjoyed the atmosphere. They even have a second restroom for customers sitting on the terrace. Parking is also no problem. Highly recommend even if you are not a fan of (japanese) burgers.

Very nice building and dining environment.

Beautiful scenery.....nice food and good service👍👍✨

Amazing Mos Burger with a drive through n great view of the water front.

Must visit, this is farmer market, heaven of fresh fruits and vegetable

Nice local market with a great assortment of fruits.

nothing much to see

(Translated by Google) After visiting Toko Shrine, I took a walk around the Inari main building, an agricultural and marine products direct sales store, and bought two kinds of dried umeboshi and overnight dried fish that I had never heard of before. It's incredibly filling, with mandarin oranges and other vegetables, seafood, pickles, soy sauce, and pickled plums. I witnessed the wealth of Tanabe City firsthand. Some fence packs for yellowtail and other sashimi have a "fishing" sticker affixed to them. I saw it for the first time, but it was quite impressive. I can picture it being fished out of the sea. Fish that I've never heard of are lined up in rows, and I can't help but keep an eye on them. I left my heart in every corner. Must visit again.

(Translated by Google) This facility preserves materials and books donated to Tanabe City by Minakata Kumagusu's family and displays his former residence. Although there are some nice boxes, the contents on display are barely touched, and most of the materials and books are stored in archives that are not open to the public. It is located in the old mansion. Kumagusu, who had never even had a regular job, bought rare books and was a frequent drinker of whales. After spending all his father's inheritance, Kumagusu lived on the support of his younger brother, who was a successful sake brewer. Despite his many outrageous stories, such as his temper tantrum and being uncontrollable when he gets angry, and his excessive sweating and spending the summer naked, his housing is surprisingly normal. Although I don't find the building itself appealing, I find it interesting to think that Kumagusu was musing and writing here.

(Translated by Google) I also went to Shirahama. I told him I had to go to the Kumagusu residence as well. I received it, but it was something I could take home. That's what I thought 💦 Just looking at it from the outside I was a little disappointed in the admission fee lol At the facility next to it, there is a 🔬 Kenbi mirror. I get nervous when I see all kinds of things like bacteria and dust lol😬 I had quite a bit of fun though 😆 (Original) 白浜の所も行ったので 熊楠邸も行かないとなと寄らせて 貰いましたが家に上がれるものだと 思っていたので💦外から眺めるだけで 入館料は ちとガッカリ笑 横の施設では🔬けんび鏡などあり 菌やらホコリやら色々と見てはゾワゾワw😬 それなりに楽しめましたけどね😆

(Translated by Google) It consists of a museum and the house where the family once lived, and although the museum is free to visit, there is a fee to tour the house, which is a strange structure. The fee is paid at the museum. Volunteers will give you a detailed explanation of the former house, but you cannot go inside and can only view it from the outside. What surprised me was that there are apparently still unanalyzed collected materials remaining here. Parking is free. (Original) 資料館とかつて住んでいた住宅からなり、資料館は無料だが住宅見学は有料という不思議な構造になっています。料金は資料館で支払いです。旧宅はボランティアの方が丁寧に説明いただけますが、上がることはできずに外から見学します。驚いたのはまだここに未解析の収集資料が残っているそうです。駐車場無料。

(Translated by Google) You can learn about Minakata Kumagusu's early life, how he traveled around the world and aspired to study slime molds, and how he was immersed in his research. It is said that he was once imprisoned due to violent incidents related to the consolidation and abolition of shrines. It also has a human touch. The garden next door was also beautiful and had nice fragrant flowers. (Original) 南方熊楠の生い立ちについて当時世界を見て回り粘菌の研究を志、研究に没頭している様子が勉強できます。神社の統廃合について乱暴な出来事があり収監されたことがあるそうです。人間味もありますね。隣のお庭も綺麗でいい香りのするお花がありました。

(Translated by Google) It's a space where you can almost hear the living breath of Minakata Kumagusu, a giant of knowledge. As I walked around the garden, I saw trees swaying in the damp breeze. I can understand why Kumagusu was obsessed with slime mold. (Original) 知の巨人　南方熊楠が暮らした息遣いが聞こえてきそうな空間です。庭を廻ってみると、湿った風にたなびく木々。熊楠が粘菌に取り憑かれたのも分かるような気がしてきます。

(Translated by Google) There are many interesting comments in the notebook provided. If you are a resident of Wakayama Prefecture, this is a spot you should definitely visit. (Original) 用意されてる自由帳に面白いコメントが多い。和歌山県民ならいっとくべきスポット。

Convenience store and toilets available. Eating place. Easy access 😊

The mountains lean close, and the air smells of cedar and sea. Kii-Tanabe is both a harbor and a trailhead — the doorway to Kumano’s sacred heart. Pilgrims arrive here quietly, their steps deliberate. Tourist Tip: Gateway to Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trails. Visit Tokei Shrine and local bathhouses. Tourist center offers maps and trail info. Stay overnight before hiking to Hongu Taisha.

There is a kiosk just outside the passenger gate. Great if there is a 7-11 or any convenience store.

Clean and efficient train station for Kumano Kodo walk.

As is usual with tourist places in Japan, the service is remarkable! Well informed guides present with information related to activities, sights, latest information on trekking routes, and weather related alerts. You can get maps, schedules for free!

friendly station attendant,the place is clean

What can you day? It's a train station. However, the staff were really helpful and there was plenty of seating while I waited for my train.

I went to this place 4 times while in Wakayama prefecture. Clean, calm, chill vibes. Really good iced oat milk latte and cute souvenirs.

Amazing coffee and other drinks! Great atmosphere!

5 star for the orange ice cream.

ice cream and beer 🤙 nice place to chill while waiting for my hostel check in

Cute little cafe, but is missing a basic features on their menu, there’s no green tea. Opted for black, but then there’s no milk for tea or coffee. Just cream.

Delightful souvenir shop with very charming cafe. Filled with regional treasures. Would highly recommend to all Kodo wanderers!

(Translated by Google) I had plum ice cream and orange ice cream. Both were delicious, but the plum ice cream was especially delicious, with a creamy texture almost like thick yogurt. The sweet and sour flavors were exquisite. The souvenirs in the store also had stylish packaging designs, so there was plenty to choose from. (Original) 梅アイスとオレンジアイスをいただきました。どちらも美味でしたが特にクリーミーでもはや濃厚なヨーグルトに近いような食感の梅アイスが大変おいしかったです。甘味と酸味が絶妙でした。店内のお土産品も小洒落たパッケージデザインのものがあり、選びごたえがありました。

A very special place. At the start, two impressive statues and a magical stairway below the shrieking cormorants and elegant egrets. Then you reach an Incredibly tranquil main shrine area. Peaceful, well maintained, lovely water garden. Serene cemetery that includes grave of the famous slime mould biologist Minakata Kumagusa. And even some ammonites! Was practically empty on a Monday. And a good excuse to cross a pedestrian bridge on the way there or back.

Beautiful place with many buildings for pray and relax! An amazing, well made garden with a pool of koi! Love it!

Beautiful place. Where is the grave of Ueshiba sensei.

Very peaceful and beautiful place full of surprises, the wild life there is quite surprising. Very well kept.

(Translated by Google) This time, I used my company vacation to plan a trip between Kumano and Nanki. I have only recently started practicing Aikido by chance, but when I learned that Nankitanabe City has a memorial hall and a temple connected to the founder, I decided to go and see it. Due to other schedules, I visited early in the morning just before the sun rose, but I was surprised at how magnificent the temple was. Although it was said that it belonged to the Omuro sect of the Shingon sect, each of the buildings within the temple was quaint, and there was also a courtyard, and the entire precincts had a harmonious feel to them. After visiting the temple, I visited the graveyard of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. Although it was early in the morning, water had been sprinkled on the area and it had been cleaned up that day. I stood there for a while in front of the monument, feeling as if I could feel his breath. (2024/12/9 early morning visit) (Original) 今回、会社の休暇を利用し、熊野～南紀の旅を計画しました。ごく最近、縁あって合気道を始めたばかりですが、ここ南紀田辺市に開祖の記念館やゆかりの寺があると知り、是非と訪ねて見ました。 他のスケジュールの関係で、日が昇る早朝の訪問でしたが、大変に立派なお寺でびっくりしました。真言宗御室派とありましたが、寺の中の建物一つ一つが趣があり、中庭もあって、また境内全体が調和の取れた感じになっていました。 さて、お寺をお参りした後、合気道開祖の植芝盛平氏の墓地に参拝させて頂きました。早朝でしたが、当日水を撒いて綺麗にされていました。碑の前で立って、氏の息吹が伝わってくるような気がして、暫しそこに佇んでいました。（2024/12/9早朝訪問）

(Translated by Google) Visited early in the morning. It was a unique atmosphere, with the sound of a rooster crowing echoing on the stairs, and a strong animal odor, perhaps the smell of birds. The precincts were very beautiful and had a good atmosphere. I would like to visit again during the day. (Original) 早朝に訪問。階段で鶏のような鳴き声が響き渡り、鳥の匂いでしょうか凄い獣臭が立ち込めている独特の雰囲気でした。境内は大変綺麗で良い雰囲気でした。日中にまた訪問したいです。

(Translated by Google) This is a historic temple where the grave of Minakata Kumagusu is located. The pagoda is magnificent. Free parking is available. (Original) 南方熊楠の墓がある由緒ある寺です。多宝塔が見事です。無料駐車場あり。

Some basic items. Closing down soon.

(Translated by Google) In the old days, there were all kinds of interactive arcade games, such as games where you could row the oars, but now there aren't any. It's all about photo booths, cranes, and medals. no more. (Original) 昔のしーかんのげむこには、オール漕ぐやつとか、色んな体感型アーケードゲームがあったのに、今はほんまおもんない。ひたすらプリクラとクレーンとメダルばっかり。もういや。

(Translated by Google) I sometimes go shopping at night, but I often see cars with bad manners, and tonight there were cars lined up side by side blocking the road (-""-;) Even though there are plenty of parking lots, I still see cars parked on the street during the day ┐('〜`;)┌ (Original) たまに夜に買い物するけど、よくマナー悪い車が来てて、今夜なんか道を塞ぐ形で並列に車が並んでた(-""-;)駐車場めっちゃ有るのに昼も、とにかく路駐する車とか見かける┐('～`;)┌

(Translated by Google) I think this is the largest supermarket in the Tanabe area. We have a lot of customers and are able to change or discontinue products quickly, which is a blessing. I went shopping with my family on Saturday and Sunday and had a fun day. I bought castella and jelly as a gift for a friend. (Original) 田辺エリア最大規模のスーパーだと思います。 お客さんも多くて商品の改廃も早いのでありがたいです。 土日に家族と買い物に行って、楽しい1日を過ごせました。 友人の手土産にカステラとゼリーを買いました。

(Translated by Google) I use it occasionally. It's a very useful commercial facility for Tanabe. (Original) たまに利用します。 田辺にとってはありがたい商業施設。

(Translated by Google) It feels brighter, but the content doesn't seem to be that different from before. (Original) 明るくなった感じはあるけど、内容は以前とそんなに大差はなさそう

(Translated by Google) This is a shop where locals of all ages and genders gather! This is the only place in the Tanabe area where you can buy McDonald's, Mister Donut, and 31. There is also an arcade, bowling, movie theater, and bookstore. The Okwa series has been renovated and is now beautiful ✨ I'm thankful that the restrooms are now clean...! Daiso also has a wide variety of products! I'm glad there are more shops in the food court, but I'd also be happy if there were more restaurants. I would really appreciate it if the apparel was a little more complete! I'm looking forward to McCafe opening♪ On holidays, the flat parking lot will be full, so we recommend a multi-story parking lot! (Original) 老若男女、地元民が集まるお店です！ 田辺周辺で唯一マクドナルド、ミスタードーナツ、サーティワンが買える場所です。 ゲームセンター、ボーリング、映画館、本屋もあります。 オークワ系列は改装をして、綺麗になりました✨お手洗いが綺麗になったのが、ありがたい…！ ダイソーも品数多く、充実してます！ フードコートもお店が増えて嬉しいですが、更に飲食店が充実すると嬉しいです。アパレルももう少し充実すると、とってもありがたいです！ マックカフェがオープンするのが楽しみです♪ 休日は平面駐車場は満車になりますので、立体駐車場がお勧めです！

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way to sightseeing in Wakayama. It's completely different from the Kobe Coop. There was bread and ice cream that I had never seen before, and it was fun. (Original) 和歌山観光の途中に立ち寄りました。神戸のｺｰﾌﾟとは､全く別物ですね。見たことのないﾊﾟﾝやｱｲｽｸﾘｰﾑがあって､楽しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Don't you think it's a big plus that they have cooked rice in the store? I don't like the taste of rice that's warmed up in a microwave after it's been cold in a bento box. I'm grateful to have a supermarket with such a wide variety of products, as I can't stand convenience store food these days. A-Co-op has a nostalgic ring to it, and I remember there were all kinds of them around when I was a child... (Original) 店内炊飯のご飯があるのって何気にポイント高いと思いませんか？ 冷えた弁当のご飯をレンチンして温めるご飯の風味が苦手な私には。 コンビニ飯が最近受け付けない体の自分には種類豊富なスーパーの存在が実に有難い にしてもAコープって懐かしい響き、幼い頃は各地色々あった記憶が、、

(Translated by Google) The cashier is a high school student working part-time, I think. There was a smartphone in the gap between the register and she was fiddling with it when there were no customers. If you saw something like that, it would be hard to go to that register to pay. Is there anything that can be done? (Original) レジの方は高校生のアルバイト？ですかね。 レジ機の隙間空間にスマホがあってお客様の居ないとき時にはスマホいじってました。 そんなのを見たらそのレジには会計しに行きにくいですよね。どうにかならないかな？

(Translated by Google) I often use Okuwa in Wakayama, but it felt like a normal supermarket. There are no particular characteristics. (Original) 和歌山ではオークワさんをよく利用しますが、こちらは普通のスーパーマーケットって感じでした。特に特徴はありません。

(Translated by Google) It used to be okay, but lately when I buy vegetables, about half of them are rotten. It also seems arbitrary that only the second and subsequent leaves of the perilla are rotten. It is better not to buy only vegetables. (Original) 前まではまともだったのですが、ここ最近は野菜を買った時半分くらいは腐っています 大葉の2枚目以降だけが腐っていたりと恣意的なものも感じます。 野菜だけは買わない方がいいです

(Translated by Google) This is my personal opinion, but all the products are extremely expensive. Since Minabe Town is located at the tip of the Kii Peninsula, shipping costs are added to the price. According to simple calculations, if you're going to buy more than 4,000 yen here, it's better to buy it at a cheaper store near Tanabe City (although it's still expensive on average). Still, I think it's a community-based supermarket for people who can't travel far. (Original) 個人的な感想になりますが、商品全てが押し並べて高い。 (みなべ町が)紀伊半島の突端に位置してるだけあってか配送コストが上乗せされた値段です。 単純計算だとココで４０００円以上買うなら田辺市近郊の安い店(それでも平均して高いが)で購入した方がいい。 それでも遠出できない方々にとっては地域密着型のスーパーだと思う。

(Translated by Google) Minabe Town is said to be the best umeboshi-producing village in Japan, and 90% of the town is involved in the ume industry. A fresh food supermarket run by an agricultural cooperative located a little up the mountain from the center of Minabe Town near the station, where plum processing factories are crowded. There is a home improvement center and a drug store in front of the building across the prefectural road. By 5 p.m., the store was full of active customers who had finished their part-time jobs and were eager to make purchases. It must be a very convenient place as a transportation point for the residents of this area. (Original) 町内の９割は梅産業に係わっていると言われる日本一の梅干しの里みなべ町。梅加工場がひしめき合う、みなべ町の駅周辺中心部より、やや山の手に入ったところにある農協が運営する生鮮食品スーパーマーケット。県道を隔てて正面にはホームセンター、ドラッグストアーが有る。夕方17時を過ぎたころには、パートや仕事を終えられた積極的なお客さまの購買意欲が感じられるお店でした。この地の住民の移動ポイントとしては、相当便利の良い所に違いない。

They have so many dishes on the menu that it's difficult to choose. The food was very good, but a little pricey.

Pizza is awful. Really just made for a child's taste with a sweet canned tomato sauce, sliced hot dog instead of pepperoni, and very little cheese. Service and atmosphere was fine.

(Translated by Google) This is my favorite restaurant when I want to eat Western food. I especially love the freshly baked croissant waffles. Since the serving size is large, it is difficult to eat alone, so if there is a half-size menu or a ladies' set, I would like to have desserts and side dishes as well. The egg in the curry omelette rice is soft and the rice is fluffy and delicious. There are many types of parfaits and drinks, so we recommend taking a break from shopping. (Original) 洋食が食べたい時のお気に入りのお店です。特に、焼き立てクロワッサンワッフルが大好きです。一人前もボリュームがあるので、一人で利用する時が困るので、ハーフサイズのメニューやレディースセットがあれば、デザートやサイドメニューも食べたいです。カレーオムライスの玉子がとろとろでライスがパラパラで美味しいです。 パフェやドリンクの種類が多いので、買い物の休憩に利用もおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) When I entered the store, there was no one to come. A store employee passed by, but was ignored and did not provide any guidance. The spinach was not cooked through and was almost raw. There was so much soup that it was called ramen. However, it was very lukewarm and tasteless. It was the worst in every way. (Original) 店内に入るもいらっしゃいませなし。前を店員が通るが無視され、案内もなし。 ほうれん草に火通ってなくてほぼ生。 ラーメンかっていうぐらい汁多い。それなのにめっちゃぬるいし味薄い。 何から何まで最悪だった。

(Translated by Google) I visited the restaurant on Friday looking forward to lunch. As soon as I sat down, I was told that they weren't serving lunch today. If that was the case, they should have said so when guiding me in, and I would have liked to have had a clear reason. It's a shame as I was looking forward to going there. I would like to go back again. (Original) ランチを楽しみに金曜日に来店。 席に着いた途端、本日ランチはやってません。とのこと。 それであれば案内時に声をかけるべきですし、明確な理由がほしかった。楽しみに行っただけに残念。またリベンジしたいです。

(Translated by Google) We had a relaxing lunch in a large private room. There was so much on the menu that I didn't know what to order, so I ordered it every day. It also came with a drink bar and a soup bar, which was a good deal. The guava juice was delicious♪ (Original) 広い個室の席でゆっくりランチ頂きました。メニューが沢山で何を頼めばいいのかわからず、日替わりにしました。ドリンクバーとスープバーも付いていてお得でした。グァバジュースが美味しかったです♪

(Translated by Google) Visited a little after 12:30 on August 2, 2025. There was no "Welcome," "How many people are there?" The air conditioning wasn't working at all. This is no good. I came here to cool off, but I was drenched in sweat and ate some sweets, which were quickly served. This is an inconsiderate restaurant. (Original) 2025年8月2日12時半過ぎ訪問。 「いらっしゃいませ」の言葉が無く、 「何名様ですか？」 エアコンが全く動いてなかった。 これはアカン。 涼みついでに来たのに汗だくでSweetsを食べたが、すぐに出た。 気の利かないお店。

Wow! Couldn’t have found a better place for our dinner before commencing on our pilgrimage tomorrow. Traditional Japanese seating in a quiet private room. English menu available. Friendly efficient helpful staff. Beautiful selection of Japanese food to choose from. The dishes arrived really quick, were fresh and beautifully presented and prepared with love. Absolutely delicious. Very cheap pricing compared to NZ. Love love love this restaurant:

We went to the outlet just opposite with the bigger set meals and had a fantastic dinner. Great beef sets, the beef was grilled perfectly and came in a tasty jus, besides that there was a great miso soup, seared bonito, good quality sashimi and some small sides. Every item was truly delicious. First we were set at the last remaining empty table at the door, but quickly we were offered to transfer to one of the private dining rooms. Good service. Highly recommended, good value as well. Thank you.

they have english menu with photos, prices are reasonable, good food, private dining rooms, and excellent service!

Good food at reasonable prices, with English menu & private room. Highly recommend.

Amazing traditional Japanese restaurant. Very well priced. Highly recommend. Set menu is a great way to try lots of different dishes.

Master was in the mood to serve us. He's a one m-man team serving at least 3 at one time. He's done this for a quite while now. Food is super! Price is right. Tasty and helathy foodies.

Amazing place. Highly recommend for the great food and the unique single rooms per table. 10/10 The staff were extremely kind and accommodating! Thankyou 🙏

Great sweet breakfast place, good simple coffee 💪

(Translated by Google) Visited around 11:30 on Saturday, March 15, 2025 I used it for takeout bread. I came here for the salt koji bread, but unfortunately I was told that it would not be baked until around 1:00 p.m. Recommended by the staff, Mentaro lotus root, cheese curry, melon bread, I bought salted butter and red bean paste made from salt koji. I really like fluffy and soft bread. Everything was delicious. The signature menu item, melon bread, had a satisfying taste! I visited this bakery when I was traveling, so it might be difficult for me to come back again, but if I ever go to Wakayama again, I definitely want to stop by this bakery. Thank you for the meal😋🙏 (Original) 2025.03.15(土)11:30頃訪問 パンのテイクアウトで利用しました。 塩麹食パン目当てで伺いましたが、残念ながら焼き上がりは13:00頃とのことでした。 店員さんのおすすめの、 明太れんこん、チーズカレー、メロンパンと、 塩麹の塩バターとあんぱんを購入しました。 ふわふわと柔らかいパンがとても好みで、 どれも美味しくいただきました。 看板メニューのメロンパンは納得のお味でした！ 旅行の際に伺ったので、なかなかリピートは難しいかもしれませんが、また和歌山に行くことがあれば必ず立ち寄りたいパン屋さんです。 ごちそうさまでした😋🙏

(Translated by Google) "RaRa Locale" is an Italian cafe and bakery in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, a warm and welcoming shop that focuses on local ingredients and handmade products. Below are the main features.  During lunch time (11:00-14:30), you can enjoy a pasta menu using seasonal ingredients. For example, there are dishes that combine Japanese and Western styles, such as peperoncino made with whitebait and green chili peppers from Wakayama Prefecture, and smoked salmon cream sauce pasta.  During cafe time, a set of handmade cake, vanilla ice cream, and drink is offered. Seasonal limited sweets are also available, and the gentle taste is attractive.  At the bakery, all bread is made using domestic wheat flour, and safe and secure bread is handmade every day. There is also an eat-in set, so you can enjoy freshly baked bread in the store. (Original) 「RaRa Locale（ララロカレ）」は、和歌山県田辺市にあるイタリアンカフェ＆ベーカリーで、地元の食材と手作りにこだわった温かみのあるお店です。以下に主な特徴をご紹介します。  ランチタイム（11:00〜14:30）には、旬の食材を使ったパスタメニューが楽しめます。例えば、和歌山県産のシラスと青唐辛子を使ったペペロンチーノや、スモークサーモンのクリームソースパスタなど、和洋の融合を感じられる一品が揃っています。  カフェタイムには、手作りのケーキとバニラアイス、ドリンクのセットが提供されています。季節ごとに限定スイーツも登場し、優しい味わいが魅力です。  ベーカリーでは、すべてのパンに国産小麦粉を使用し、安心・安全なパンを毎日手作りしています。イートインセットもあり、店内で焼きたてのパンを楽しむことができます。

(Translated by Google) (2025.6) The parking lot is located just behind the store, a little away. The signs are clear and easy to find. We ordered the Wednesday-only ladies' set (1,320 yen including tax) and the lunch soup set (1,320 yen including tax) for two people. Both have a choice of pasta and drink from multiple menus. The ladies' set comes with pasta, drink, and dessert. We chose Japanese-style pasta and a mini parfait. The Japanese-style pasta was topped with seaweed and shiso, making it easy to eat, and the mini parfait was a frozen mango parfait with bread in it, which was very delicious and a great deal considering the price. The soup set comes with pasta, drink, soup, and toast. For an extra 150 yen, we chose shrimp and bacon cream sauce. It had enough shrimp to make it obvious that it was there, and it was a tomato-based pasta with a gentle flavor. It seems to be run by an NPO as a place to support continued employment. The building, built in 1949, is being used with great care and great service, and it's a pleasant store with courteous service. On my way home, I bought some delicious bread as a souvenir. (Original) (2025.6)駐車場は店の真裏と少し離れたところにあります。案内表示はしっかりしてあるので分かりやすいです。 2人で水曜日のみのレディースセット(1320円税込)とランチのスープセット(1320円税込)をお願いしました。どちらもパスタと飲み物を複数のメニューから選べます。 レディースセットはパスタ、飲み物、デザート付きです。和風パスタとミニパフェを選びました。和風パスタはのりとシソのトッピングが効いていて食べやすく、ミニパフェはパンも入っている冷凍マンゴーのパフェでとても美味しく、お値段を考えると、とてもお得感がありました。 スープセットはパスタ、飲み物、スープがセットでトーストも付いてきます。150円プラスで エビとベーコンのクリームソースにしました。 ちゃんとエビの存在が分かる位はエビが入っていて、トマトベースの優しいお味のパスタでした。 NPO団体が就労継続支援の場として経営されているそうです。昭和24年生まれの建物を、大事に素敵に利用されていて、気持ちの良い店で接客も丁寧、帰りには、美味しいパンをお土産に買って帰りました。

(Translated by Google) I had a pasta set. The bread was delicious. The pasta was also delicious. They also sell bread inside, which is nice. (Original) パスタセット食べました パンが美味しいです パスタも美味しい 中にパンも売っているので素敵です

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is popular with women. Lunch is mainly pasta. There is also a bakery next door. They sometimes sell something called "Kumakusu Anpan". (Original) 女性に人気のお店です。ランチはパスタメイン。横にベーカリーもある。 時々「熊楠あんパン」なるものを販売している。

(Translated by Google) It was originally a police station. The building has a nice atmosphere reminiscent of the Taisho period. The pasta for lunch was flat noodles... It was just average. (Original) もとは警察署 大正浪漫を感じさせる建物がいい雰囲気を出してます ランチのパスタは平打ち麺で… まぁ普通でした

Stopover by chance. Good ramen with various choices of soup. What we love the most is that you can pick the cooking level of noodle! Like their tonkatsu with flavored spicy. Friendly services with free parking. Only accept cash.

No English spoken, but pointing and gesturing brought us a delicious bowl of ramen. Very friendly place.

Delicious ramen and friendly staff!

I love this ramen house 🏡!

(Translated by Google) When I searched for "Wakayama, ramen," this chain restaurant came up highly. They also had pork bone and rich ramen, which I was tempted by, but I wanted to eat Wakayama ramen, so I held back this time. In the waiting area inside the restaurant, records and photos of the refill challenge were displayed. I wanted to order a Bakumatsu bowl, but everyone in the photos had such beautiful smiles that I became interested in the idea of refilling noodles, which also makes people smile, so I switched from the Bakumatsu bowl to a refill. It seems that customers who wish to order three or more refills can leave a photo. When I actually tried it, I thought three bowls would be enough for a man. I also wanted to go for a third bowl, but they had a mini-mini Bakumatsu bowl! I switched even more. It was about the size of a miso soup bowl, and the amount was just right. The pork slices on top of the rice were delicious, and went perfectly with the rice drizzled with sauce! I'd like to try a different ramen next time, so I'd like to go again. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 『和歌山、ラーメン』で調べたら、上位に出てきたチェーン店でした。 豚骨やこってりなどのラーメンもあり、そちらにも惹かれましたが、和歌山ラーメンを食べたかったので、今回はグッと我慢しました。 店内の待合席には、替え玉チャレンジの記録と写真が飾られていました。幕末丼を頼みたかったのですが、写真に写っているみなさんがステキな笑顔だったので、人を笑顔にする替え玉に興味が湧き、幕末丼から替え玉にシフトチェンジしました。替え玉を3玉以上食べた希望者が、写真を残せるようです。 実際に食べたところ、男性なら3玉は食べられる量だと思いました。私も３玉目にいきたかったのですが、なんと幕末丼にミニミニサイズが！さらにシフトチェンジしちゃいました。 お味噌汁のお椀ぐらいのサイズで、ちょうどいい量でした。ご飯に載っているチャーシューがとってもおいしくて、タレのかかったご飯との相性も抜群でした！ 今度はちがうラーメンも食べたいので、また行きたいです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) I ordered the 11-level ramen. The soup was rich and delicious. I got not just one refill, but half a bowl, so I was satisfied. I get heartburn after eating a hamburger at a certain chain restaurant, but this ramen, despite its appearance, doesn't give me heartburn. I'd like to go again, but it's really far away. (Original) 濃度11を頂きました。スープが濃くて愛おしいw　替え玉1だけじゃなく半分もあって満足。 某チェーン店ハンバーガー一つで胸焼けする私ですしが、ここのラーメンは見た目に反し胸焼けしない また行きたいです　ただめちゃくちゃ遠い😥

(Translated by Google) Visited on Friday, June 20, 2025, just after 11am☘️ Three women were running the shop. I was shown to the counter and had my first Bakumatsu Ramen in about a year🍜 I ordered the large tonkotsu miso bean sprouts for 1,100 yen. I rubbed the ground sesame seeds on it and was ready to finish it😆 The char siu was soft, the bean sprouts were crunchy, and there was more green onion than usual, so it was delicious! The soup was neither too hot nor too lukewarm, just right❤️I was very satisfied😋 I'd like to go eat it again🙌 (Original) 2025年6月20日(金)11時過ぎ訪問☘️ 女性3名がお店を切り盛りされていました。 カウンターに通され、約1年ぶりの幕末ラ〜メン🍜 私は、豚骨味噌もやし大盛り1100円。 すり胡麻をスリスリし、いざ完食へ😆 チャーシューも柔らかく、もやしもシャキシャキでネギもいつもより多く入ってて美味しかったです！ スープも熱すぎずぬるすぎず、ちょうど良かった❤️大満足でした😋 また食べに行きたいな🙌
