Wakayama

A main highlight of our trip was to go to Wakayama and visit some of the national heritages in Japan and to also go to the southern-most tip of Honshu, Japan. We made an overnight trip and visited 3 places:-

1. The fishing port and onsen town of Kii-Katsuura
-> Nachi-mountain and Nachi waterfall, the tallest waterfall in Japan.
-> Kino-Matsushima cruise, among the naturally formed islands.

2. Kushimoto
-> Hashikui-iwa rocks, Japan's national natural treasure and top 100 evening scenic spots.

3. Shionomisaki
-> Located at longitude 135.46 east and latitude 33.26 north in the southernmost tip of Honshu.
-> Japan's top 100 evening scenic spots.
-> Shionomisaki lighthouse, with more than 100 yrs of history.

Although we didnt manage to capture any pictures of sunsets at these spots becos last bus and train ends before 6pm, the experience was still good and we also were able to appreciate the nature in these areas. (Psst! We were the only non-Japanese there!)
