Wakayama World Heritage Center

The Wakayama World Heritage Center functions as a main information point for the cultural and natural heritage sites across Wakayama Prefecture.

The center, established in April 2005, documents and preserves information about the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trails and sacred locations in the Kii Mountains.

The exhibition halls present detailed information about the three main Kumano shrines and the 117 temples of Koyasan through multimedia displays.

Visitors can obtain maps, guides, and expert advice about the pilgrimage routes, with admission costing 100 yen and operating hours from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

The center features a theater offering virtual reality experiences that transport visitors through time to explore the historical development of Wakayama Castle.
