Wakayama's historic mountains include Koyasan in the north and Kumano Sanzan in the south, both worshipped as holy places since ancient times and home to solemn Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Also culturally valuable are Negorodera Temple, which appeared at the peak of the Kamakura Period, and Kimiidera Temple and Kokawadera Temple, both visited by pilgrims on the 33-Point-Visit, in which pilgrims visit 33 designated temples and shrines where kannon images are enshrined. Wakayama Castle was the headquarters of one of the three major families in the Tokugawa Clan. At Kii Fudoki-no-oka, typical farmhouses, fishing family houses, and merchants' houses are on display.
