Getting Around
Getting around Wakayama is best done using its efficient public transportation network. The JR lines connect major cities like Wakayama City, Kainan, and Kii-Tanabe, essential for accessing the Kumano Kodo trailheads. Local buses are crucial for reaching more remote areas, especially on Koyasan and within the Kii Peninsula. Consider purchasing a regional rail pass for cost-effective travel. For ultimate flexibility, especially for exploring coastal areas or smaller villages, renting a car might be beneficial, though navigating rural roads can be challenging. Taxis are available but can be expensive for longer distances.
