Wakayama, with its beautiful ocean and sacred mountains, is an underrated gem and a less-traveled destination compared to the neighboring cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. On this trip, I spent three days, beginning in the coastal prefectural city and traveling inland to Koyasan, a sacred mountain retreat.
