“Taketoya (竹燈夜) which is held every year on the night of the first week of November, was held again this year, in which the inside of Wakayama Castle Park is decorated with bamboo lanterns.
Many people visited this year as well to see the fantastical appearance of Wakayama Castle, which is completely different from the usual.
There are many restaurants in the area from around Wakayama Castle to Wakayama Station and Wakayama City Station, and if you start walking without deciding which restaurant to go to, you will end up getting confused and getting hungry.
In this town, I recommend eating outside when the weather is nice, using takeout, bread, and bento shops.
If you want to have lunch outdoors, Wakayama Castle is the place to go. There are many benches installed in Wakayama Castle Park, so unless it’s an event day, you won’t have to worry about finding a place to sit.

One of the best-kept secrets is the east side of the castle. Enter the castle from the Okaguchi Gate on the south side, walk north, and you will see Kuranomaru on your right. There you will find a long horizontal staircase called “Gangi” along the moat. When you go up the narrow steps, there are several benches where you can take a break while looking out at the moat.
It’s a little difficult to go up to the castle tower, but here you only have to climb up Gangi a little. Carp and turtles often swim in the moat, and various birds also gather there.
I think it’s a good place to relax when you want to take a short break.
As the rainy season approaches in June, hydrangeas can be seen everywhere in Wakayama City. They can be found in private gardens, in potted plants, in flower beds along the streets, and inside the castle…
Wakayama Castle has many faces in each of the four seasons, and in the castle’s Tsuru-no-Kei area, hydrangeas of various types and colors are planted, all blooming at the same time during this season.
The name comes from the fact that cranes were kept in this section of the castle when the Asano family was the lord of the castle.
The hydrangea surrounded by mossy stone walls is very emotional.
The Momijogei Garden right next door was also a quiet place where only the sound of rain could be heard.
The cherry blossom viewing season has begun in earnest in Wakayama. The light red petals color Wakayama Castle.
Even on a weekday, many cherry blossom-viewing visitors enjoy the springtime on the grounds of the castle.
The “Omotenashi Ninjas,” who provide services to tourists, also work hard.
Birds and flowers seem to be sprawled out in the warm sunshine they have been waiting for.
