Various rocks in different shapes have emerged from the sea after a long period of time. The sea has high transparency, and during low tide, you can walk all the way to the rocks in the back. The sky's gradient is beautiful during both sunset and sunrise. 🌅🌇 As the Michi-no-Eki Kushimoto Hashikui Iwa is right in front of you, you can park your car there.

This Hashiguiiwa is a tourist attraction that I went to with others. It turns out that it is a famous tourist attraction in Wakayama, Japan! It is also a popular spot for photographers from all over the world to take photos. There are more than 40 rocks of different sizes neatly arranged in a straight line, which feels quite unique! When the tide recedes, visitors can walk up to the rocks and take a closer look! However, after the tide rises, tourists can only admire the rocks on the shore. 🪨Since we arrived at high tide, we didn’t have the chance to see them up close, which was a pity! The only way is to appreciate this unique place on the shore❤️ In addition, there are restaurants and souvenir shops here. If you just want to enjoy shopping, you can go in and take a look. If you just need to replenish supplies, you can also replenish them here‼ ️ Hashiguiiwa Address: Hashikawa, Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture Admission: Free #residentwriter #attractionsphotographyguide #hotsummerplaces #japanplaces #suburbsplaces #Japan Attractions

The Kushimoto Sea Park has a large environment and area, facing an endless Pacific Ocean view, and a large lawn. They used to have an aquarium, which contains many fish, jellyfish, etc. Just when you may think that this aquarium is ordinary, the surprise is behind‼ ️There are turtles and baby turtles🐢The most important thing is that you can hold the baby turtles in your hands😍This is the first time I got to hold and feel a baby turtle in person, it was also very well behaved in my palms🥰It felt magical! But you have to disinfect your hands before and after hugging🤗In addition, this Kushimoto Marine Park also has sightseeing boats and observation towers~ But due to time constraints, we did not visit the observation tower or take the sightseeing boat🥲 Another thing to mention is the large lawn in Kushimoto Marine Park, where there are some recreational facilities, such as rocking boards, swing chairs, etc. It is also very relaxing to have fun in this scenic location, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and enjoy the food❤️ Kushimoto Marine Park Address: Arita 1157, Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan #residentwriter #attractionsphotographyguide #hotsummerplaces #japanplaces #suburbsplaces #Japan Attractions

On the fourth day of the trip to the Kii Peninsula, when traveling around Kushimoto Town in Wakayama Prefecture, there is one place that cannot be missed, that is Kushimoto Marine Park at the southernmost tip of Honshu, Japan. This underwater park is a comprehensive park consisting of a water hotel, an underwater observation tower, and the underwater sightseeing ship Stella Maris. Kushimoto Marine Park was designated in 1970 as one of the first marine parks (now marine parks) in Japan. There is a 24-meter-long underwater tunnel in the aquarium, where you can see blue sharks and rays swimming leisurely overhead. In addition, from the underwater observation tower 140 meters offshore, you can see the seabed at a depth of 6.3 meters, and take the underwater sightseeing boat Stella Maris to observe the world's northernmost cluster of table corals. The park also offers diving and swimming experiences, accommodation cabins, etc. It is a theme park that truly conveys the sea and creatures of Kushimoto. You can enjoy everything from visiting an aquarium to observing the nature of the sea, as well as eating and shopping. 📍Address: Arita 1157, Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture 🚃Transportation: Take the free shuttle bus from JR Kushimoto Station in 13 minutes ⏰Time: 9:00 ~ 16:00 🗓️Regular holidays: None 🎫Tickets: 2,000 yen for high school students and above, 1,000 yen for elementary and junior high school students Children aged 3 to pre-school 400 yen Discounts available for electronic ticket purchases Kushimoto Marine Park

Day 4 of the colorful Kii Peninsula journey. After lunch at Yuyumarutei in Nanki Kushimoto Kanko SUN Marine, we continued our trip. I remember visiting Kushimoto Town several years ago, specifically going to Cape Shionomisaki, the southernmost tip of Honshu, Japan, and being moved by the beautiful sunset. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn't explore Kushimoto Town. This time, with a friend from Wakayama as our guide, we took the Kushimoto Loop Bus and visited several representative sightseeing spots. Kushimoto Town, the only town in Honshu located in the subtropical zone, boasts not only the beautiful Ramsar Convention-protected sea but also the majestic natural beauty of the World Heritage Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, strange rocks, and unusual stones. 🪧 Haiganto: Named after the famous scenic spot, Mount Kumgang, on the Korean Peninsula. The sight of huge waves crashing against the steep reefs is truly breathtaking. This location was also featured in the movie *The 1890 Maritime Disaster*. 🪧 Cape Shionomisaki: The southernmost tip of Honshu, Cape Shionomisaki features a vast lawn of approximately 100,000 square meters at its tip. Long ago, there was a naval watchtower here. The gentle curve of the vast Pacific Ocean before your eyes gives you a real sense of the Earth's roundness. This is also one of Japan's top 100 sunrise and sunset viewing spots. We were fortunate enough to witness a beautiful sunset that day. 🪧 Shionomisaki Tourist Tower: Standing 100 meters tall, the tower's 360-degree observation deck offers panoramic views of the lush green lawn and the azure sea. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Nachi in the distance. You can obtain a "Certificate of Visiting the Southernmost Tip of Honshu" at the tower, a rare travel souvenir. Opening hours are 9:00am–5:00pm. 🪧 Hashigui-iwa Rocks: Facing Oshima Island from Kushimoto, over 40 large and small rock pillars line up in the sea, stretching for about 850 meters. They are named Hashigui-iwa, meaning "bridge pier rocks," because their regular arrangement resembles bridge piers. Located within the Yoshino-Kumano National Park, they are designated as a national scenic spot and natural monument. We also visited the Kushimoto Marine Park, which I'd like to share separately. 📍 Address: 33 Kushimoto, Kushimoto Town, Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture (address of the Nanki Kushimoto Tourist Association, located in the Kushimoto Station building) 🚃 Transportation: Take the JR Kinokuni Line to Kushimoto Station and transfer to the Kushimoto Loop Bus.

Qiaohang Rock belongs to a geological attraction in the Nanji Kumano Geopark and is designated as a National Natural Monument. The rocky scenery is spectacular and worth a visit for easy access.

A classic tourist spot in Wakayama is the Hashiguiiwa. Here, heading from Kushimoto to Oshima, there are over 40 rock pillars of various sizes standing in a row of about 850m in the sea. It is said that the regular arrangement of the rocks resembles bridge piles, which is why it got its name! This strange rock, which looks as if only the hard parts of the rocks remain due to sea erosion and only the bridge piles remain, has a legend that in the past, Kobo Daishi and Amanojaku made a bet that they would build a bridge in one night, and built it in one night👹!! ! ? It is located in the Yoshino-Kumano National Park area and is designated as a national scenic spot and natural monument🏅 There is also a roadside station, so you can buy souvenirs while you're there!! ! ! 🫶✨️ #0yentravelJanuary2025#Wakayama

It's very delicious.

It's a less popular travel route in Japan, but it's worth a visit. There are fewer people, so it's not as crowded as Kamakura. The sea is beautiful and the Pacific Ocean is milky white. The coastline in Kushimoto is similar to that of Jeju Island in South Korea. The coastal road here is very beautiful and suitable for vacation. There are also some holiday villas. There are Chinese restaurants and all kinds of seafood are very fresh. When you come here, you can go to Omuroyama, Sandanheki, Senjojiki, and Toretore Seafood Market (the seafood is very cheap, and I saw whale meat and super large fish roe). There are many discounted fish in the afternoon. Then, it's really beautiful to watch the sunset on Maruyama Island. The key point is that there are not many people and the experience is not bad. On the second day, I went to Kushimoto and saw a small plane test flight. There was a large flat lawn, blue sky, milky sea, green grass, white lighthouse, and red roof. On the way back, there were also strange rocks on the sea and a viewing beach. I also went to Kumano Kodo and walked the classic route. It was completely OK for a whole day and not tired at all.

This time we will introduce you to Kushimoto Marine Park in Wakayama Prefecture. This is a complex with an aquarium, underwater observation tower, semi-submersible underwater sightseeing boat, large shop and restaurant, accommodation lodge, and swimming facilities. To be honest, the exterior and atmosphere are very Showa-era. As an aquarium, it is inferior to Atoa and others, but the inside was well designed and was more beautiful than I expected. It is a hidden spot with few people so it is easy to take photos. Overall, I think that out of all the aquariums I have visited, this one is the most photogenic. It exceeded my expectations in a good way. There's a pond with turtles🐢, an ingenious aquarium exhibit, an underwater observation tower where you can observe the ocean, and even a semi-submersible underwater sightseeing boat🛥️!! It looks like it can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from small children to the elderly✨️ Depending on the weather, the semi-submersible underwater sightseeing boat may not be able to operate, and depending on the water level, you may not be able to go to the underwater observation tower💦 《Save》 it and use it to plan your trip❤️ 📝﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Spot details 📍Kushimoto Marine Park 🏷️ 1157 Arita, Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture 🕐 9:00-16:30 (last admission 16:00) 💰 Aquarium + Underwater Observation Tower Adults 1800 yen Elementary and junior high school students: 800 yen Toddlers (3 years and older): 300 yen *For other detailed prices, please refer to the Tips and Information 🚗Free admission available - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Tips and Information 🎫Detailed prices ・[Aquarium only] Adults: 1500 yen, elementary and junior high school students: 700 yen, toddlers (3 years and older): 200 yen ⚠This ticket does not allow entry to the underwater observation tower ・[Aquarium + Underwater Observation Tower 】 Adults 1800 yen, elementary and junior high school students 800 yen, infants (3 years and older) 200 yen ・【Undersea sightseeing boat only】 ☑Regular route approx. 25 minutes Adults 1800 yen, elementary and junior high school students 900 yen, infants (3 years and older) 200 yen ☑Short route approx. 15 minutes Adults 1200 yen, elementary and junior high school students 600 yen, infants (3 years and older) 200 yen ・【Aquarium + Undersea observation tower + Undersea sightseeing boat】 ☑Regular route approx. 25 minutes Adults 2600 yen, elementary and junior high school students 1400 yen, infants (3 years and older) 200 yen ☑Short route approx. 15 minutes Adults 2300 yen, elementary and junior high school students 1200 yen, infants (3 years and older) 200 yen ・【Silver discount】(65 years and older, ID showing age required) ※Aquarium + Undersea observation tower 1600 yen ⚠Additional boarding fee +900 yen or short route +600 yen 💸Special offer Register your email address on the official website of Kushimoto Marine Park to receive a 10% discount coupon for admission✨️ Check and receive it in advance🙆♀️ For details, click on the [Discount coupon] section on the official website ☀️About the weather Boats🛥️ may be canceled due to waves or wind.

I went to Kushimoto Marine Park with someone before. There is a restaurant called ACROPORA in Kushimoto Marine Park. I ordered the seafood pottery set meal here. There is a pot where you can put your own ingredients. We also ordered a platter of prawns and scallops. They are really authentic. However, these additional menus need to be reserved in advance! The ramen in their restaurant is very soft, and I heard from others that it would be delicious if pepper was added. The scenery outside the restaurant is also very beautiful, and diners can see the unbeatable sea view of the Pacific Ocean! Enjoy the sea view and delicious food! I'm glad I was able to take a leisurely break while I was in Japan❤️ Sea Park Restaurant ACROPORA Staghorn Coral Address: Arita 1157, Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan #residentwriter #attractionsphotographyguide #hotsummerplaces #japanplaces #suburbsplaces #Japan Attractions

According to legend, Kobo Daishi came to the Kushimoto area with Amazaki, a demon who always caused trouble in the world. Kobo Daishi saw that it was inconvenient for people from Kii Oshima and Kushimoto to travel between them, so he made a bet with Amazaki to see who could build a bridge connecting Kushimoto and Kii Oshima in one night. However, halfway through the construction of the bridge, the evil spirit found that it could not defeat Hongfa Daishi, so it pretended to be a rooster crowing at sunrise to deceive Hongfa Daishi that it was already daybreak. Therefore, Hongfa Daishi had to stop building half of the bridge, leaving behind the bridge piers and walked away, thus forming the current "Qiaohangyan". Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Kushino River 1549-8 Take the Kumano Kotsu Bus from JR Kushimoto Station and get off at Hashikawaiwa or walk 30 minutes to The "Qiaohang Rock" mentioned in the legend is actually a rock vein formed after a volcanic eruption 14 million years ago. After years of erosion by sea water and rain, the mudstone was worn away, leaving behind harder quartzite, which has become a group of about 40 rocks of different sizes along the shore, stretching for about 1 kilometer. The location of "Hashihang Rock" is one of the 100 best sunrise views in Japan, so if you can get up early, you can come here to watch the sunrise. At the same time, because there is little light pollution, you can take beautiful photos of the starry sky while waiting for the sunrise. Because it is located close to the shore, the tide will make the "Qiaohang Rock" completely exposed to the ground. At that time, you can touch the Qiaohang Rock that looks like a flower pie; but the "Qiaohang Rock" at high tide can show its beauty. In addition to admiring the wonders of nature, visitors can also have a cup of hot coffee, eat some snacks, take a break and check in at the nearby Michi-no-Eki, the southernmost station in Honshu. #日本景点 #国外旅游 #日本 #和歌山県 #kushimoto #楊駐岩 #自然神奇 #岩 #日出 #japan #wakayama

Hashiguiiwa is a geosite that makes up the Nanki Kumano Geopark. The ground formed by magma was eroded by the sea to its current shape. It's close to the center of town, and adjacent to a roadside station, so it's easy to access, and is always full of families. I haven't seen it yet, but it's definitely a beautiful place to see the sunrise. Address: Kujinokawa, Kushimoto-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture 649-3500 #Wakayama #Geopark #Photogenic spot
