Wakayama | Sunset Castle & Cherry Blossom Lane 🌸

#cherryblossom25 Starting from Nishikoku’s 33rd Temple, No. 2 and Kimi-dera, which is known as the "Temple that Calls for Spring," I was surrounded by the beauty of blooming cherry blossoms. 🌸 The poetic lyrics echo in my mind: "If the sakura blossoms again, I hope to express my love under these cherry trees." It's a truly magical experience to witness the fleeting beauty of sakura while reflecting on the passing of time. 🥺💖 Day's itinerary: Arrived at Kansai Airport, then made my way to Wakayama Station to check in. Visited Kimi-dera Temple, then headed to Wakayama Castle. Wrapped up with a trip to Kata fishing port and took the scenic Taiyō Train (snapshots of fresh, colorful memories along the way). Despite being off the beaten path, Wakayama surprised me with its fewer crowds and abundant beauty, making it the perfect location for sakura lovers like me. 🌸 #naturalwonders

禧之小廚 Chef Jon’s Diary
Wakayama Castle

After visiting the Wakayama Castle which holds its guarded grandeur and famed ninja tales; we decided to explore its surroundings. We found beauty and elegance in a surprisingly quiet corner of the castle: Nishinomaru Teien Gardens (also known as Momijidani Teien). Not many tourists come down to this corner. During visit we met a japanese person told us that this garden brings peace and serenity. This elderly gentleman let us in on the secrets of this Garden as he lifted a big heavy camera with one hand to show us photos of rare birds who visit this charming garden too. We were in awe of the many different birds and creatures hidden but captured in photos which he graciously shared with us. We are glad we ventured beyond the main Castle and soaked in the tranquility of this garden. #givethanks #givethanks
