The itinerary was good and we enjoyed all the stops ourselves. The driver/guide was friendly but there was no guided tour, it was pretty much a transportation service with minimal communication.

I highly recommend this tour, which covers both natural landscapes and historical sites. Our driver and guide, Li Xiang, managed the time perfectly, allowing ample time to explore each location. We spent 1 hour and 50 minutes at the Tore Tore Market. The Senjojiki rock formations were absolutely stunning on a clear day, and the panoramic 360-degree view of Wakayama City from Wakayama Castle's main keep was fantastic. We had a great time. These attractions would be difficult to reach by public transport, making this one-day tour excellent value for money.

I had an amazing time with my guide, Kimi! Kimi was super knowledgeable and sweet during the tour, and was extremely engaging with my friend and I (we did a private tour for 2). We went to the tour knowing very little about the cultural significance aside from what we read online and finished a tour with a newfound appreciation for the Nachisan area. It is an understatement how much I enjoyed myself on this tour and I highly reccommend everyone to book this tour if they are going to see the nachi falls! Aside from the amazing guide, the tour company was also very responsive, providing email updates on who to contact and where to meet, making it very easy to find our guide on the day itself.

It was great to see a part of Japan that wasn't touristy and would have been difficult to access without a personal driver. Our guide was great and extremely sweet. She did not speak fluent English but was still very helpful and got us arouns safe. We highly recommend this tour if you would like to see a part of Japan that has more locals than tourist!

When I bought the Kansai Wide Area Pass (5 days), I discovered this package, which practically includes the Wakayama Enjoy Pass for free. The Wakayama Enjoy Pass is easy to redeem and offers great value. I redeemed it for a hotel cake set 🍰, a ramen set 🍜, and the Shirahama Marine Tower 🐟🐠. There were actually other even better value options, but due to my itinerary and interests, I made these choices, and the food quality was also excellent 👍🏻. If your itinerary includes Wakayama, don't miss this pass, and you have a week to redeem it. The Kansai Wide Area Pass allowed me to travel between Wakayama City, Shirahama, and Kushimoto, then return to Osaka, and also visit Lake Biwa and Himeji Castle. It's an incredibly valuable rail pass 🙏🏻

Wakayama Kobo Hotel is conveniently located, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Next door is a public library combined with Starbucks and Tsutaya Bookstore, where you can drink coffee, read books, and buy stationery or souvenirs. The rooftop open-air bath has a wide view. Soaking in the hot spring is relaxing and healing, which is the favorite enjoyment of this trip and worth revisiting.
Cleanliness: Excellent
Breakfast: Simple, Japanese-style, not bad, matched with comfortable and relaxing scenery

The hotel's location is very convenient, close to Wakayama JR Station and connected to Kintetsu Department Store. The bus terminal downstairs makes it easy to take a bus to Kuroshio Market or other attractions. Mr. Cao, the front desk receptionist, was very friendly. We paid extra for breakfast, and the only thing to mention is that the breakfast was just average, not particularly delicious.
