Wakayama is located south of Osaka, so most people come to Wakayama via Osaka. From Shin-Osaka Station there are Limited Express Trains that take you to Wakayama Station in one hour.
If you are on the Loop Line, the Limited Express Trains stop at Tennoji Station on their way to Wakayama. Hineno Station is also a popular point of transfer to reach Wakayama.

There is a ferry which does the short trip over to Tokushima on Shikoku in fairly smart time.
This ferry is the quickest way to get to Shikoku from the Wakayama area.

The City began to grow with the construction of the castle in 1585. As a castle town, Wakayama City became the political and economic core of the Kishu Domain during the Tokugawa Shogunate time.

I visited a friend in Wakayama, stayed two days. More than enough, since there is nothing especially interesting in this city. Worth visiting are the castle, the Kimiidera temple, and the university.
