Kansai

Wakayama

Prefectural capital plus Kii peninsula tourism; Kansai’s southern edge.

Wakayama City holds the main late urban cluster; the Kii peninsula’s pilgrimage and onsen economies speak a different leisure language. Like Mie, the prefecture warns against reading all coastal tourism as adult nightlife geography.

Public names

Place-names that appear in news, comedy, and ordinary speech — not a list of venues.
