Located on the western side of the Kii Peninsula, Wakayama Prefecture is famous for its stunning coastline, the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes, and Mount Koya (Koyasan), a revered spiritual center. The region also thrives on fruit cultivation, particularly oranges and plums, supported by its mild climate. The prefectural capital Wakayama City, along with Tanabe City and Hashimoto City, serve as regional hubs. The northern part of the prefecture also offers convenient access to Osaka. Land in Wakayama is used for residential and commercial development in urban areas such as Wakayama City, while the northern part of the prefecture near Osaka is in demand for commuter-town development. Around Mount Koya, the Kumano Kodo, and resort areas like Shirahama, land for tourism projects is sought after. Extensive forests and farmland, especially orchards, are also distinctive features of the prefecture.
