Wakayama Prefecture is filled with natural and historical resources, including World Heritage areas. It is also blessed with a warm climate which allows for plenty of agricultural products, especially fruit, to flourish, as well as delicious seafood. As well, it is the home of traditional foods such as soy sauce, meaning a vast diversity of delicious food products come from Wakayama. "Nanko plums," typically large and thick-fleshed, originate in Wakayama. They are made into pickled plums and plum sake.
Wakayama has two great sacred places, Koyasan and Kumano, which are on the World Heritage register as "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range." People who visit for the cultural views are welcomed warmly. As well, the Kushimoto seacoast, registered under the "Ramsar Convention on Wetlands," offers the experience of a world-class beautiful sea. Elsewhere, the highest waterfall in Japan is the 133-m cascade at Nachi, and there is also a history of great cultural figures such as Minakata Kumagusu.
