From Kada in Wakayama City, visitors can gaze across the Kitan Strait towards Awaji Island, where sunsets and predawn full moons create enchanting scenes.
Offshore lies Tomogashima (Tomogashima Islands, a cluster of four islands in the Inland) uninhabited islands featuring remnants of former military fortifications. Often likened to “LAPUTA: Castle in the Sky,” this mysterious spot evokes both tranquility and adventure. Tomogashima can be reached by the Tomogashima Ferry from Kada Port.
Along with the serene atmosphere of the Kada coastline, this healing retreat from urban bustle captivates visitors with its blend of nature, culture, and history.
Getting there: About 45 minutes by car from Sennan IC on Hanwa Expressway. Parking available.
