Wakayama Prefecture (Japanese: 和歌山県) is a prefecture of Japan located in the Kansai (関西) region of Honshu (本州). Taking JR express from Shingu (新宮) City to Osaka (大阪) is the best way to enjoy the beautiful coastal view of Wakayama.
This express is not so frequent, it leaves Shingu every 1 hour, you should check the schedule before you go to the JR station.
The train is very cozy, there is even a lounge on the train, passengers can enjoy the beautiful scenery without twisting their necks.
Wakayama is home to one of the first Japanese style Buddhist temples in Japan and remains an increasingly popular tourist destination as people flock to see its ancient temples.
Wakayama Prefecture is located on the western coast of the Kii (紀伊) Peninsula on the Kii Channel, connecting the Pacific Ocean and Seto Inland Sea (瀬戸内海).
Although this train is an ‘express’, it still takes around 4 hours from Shingu to Osaka. When the sun goes down, Choumeizai also sleeps.
