Introduction

The Wakayama City Tourist Information Center (Wakayama Castle branch) sits at Ichibancho at the foot of Wakayama Castle, the travel hub for the city and prefecture, offering advice on sights, transport, food and itineraries, often with multilingual help and brochures plus bike rental (JPY 100). As the first stop into the 'Kii' region, it is a practical base for planning Wakayama Castle, Koya and Kumano trips, and a handy place to grab maps, ask the day's routes and store luggage.
