Tour of Kishiwada, a fortress city with a different culture from Osaka and Kyoto. On this tour, you will visit Kishiwada, a fortress city that protected Osaka, Kyoto, and the Edo Shogunate from behind the scenes. Kishiwada City was an important base for defending Osaka and Kyoto from the Wakayama area, and at the same time connected Wakayama and Osaka through the Kishu Kaido road, playing a role in supporting the economic development of Osaka and Kyoto. Due to this historical background, Kishiwada has a strong presence of its own unique culture and traditions, including the Danjiri Festival, and you can experience a culture that is a little different from that of Osaka and Kyoto.
Japanese culture and history are often discussed from the perspective of famous cities such as Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo, but by experiencing the culture and history of Kishiwada, which has supported and protected them behind the scenes, you can experience Japanese culture from a new perspective. We will provide a fresh and satisfying experience especially for those who have traveled to Japan before.
On this tour, you will ride around Kishiwada Castle and the castle town on bicycles. By exploring the town on foot, you will be able to get a closer look at the charms of Kishiwada.
Kishiwada City is conveniently located, just 20 minutes by train from Kansai Airport. Therefore, you can easily visit the city after sightseeing in Osaka or Kyoto, and spend a few hours before returning home. This is a great advantage for travelers.
