Bandoko Garden, Ocean-side garden in Wakayama, Japan.
The garden extends into Wakaura Bay from a flat cape, featuring pine trees and bluestone rocks along its coastal perimeter.
During the Edo period, this location served as a strategic watchtower for the Kishu Domain to monitor foreign vessels entering Wakaura Bay.
The garden incorporates elements of traditional Japanese landscaping in its western section while displaying Western design principles in its eastern area.
The garden opens from April to August between 9:00 and 18:00, and from September to March between 8:00 and 17:00, with an entrance fee of 500 yen.
Visitors can observe three islands - Oshima, Ishima, and Tsukishima - floating in the Kii Channel while standing at the garden's edge.
