Nachikatsuura, Coastal town in Higashimuro District, Japan.
Located on the southeastern coast of the Kii Peninsula, Nachikatsuura extends across 183 square kilometers of mountainous terrain beside the Pacific Ocean.
The town emerged in 1955 through the consolidation of Nachi and Katsuura municipalities, which held deep connections to the ancient Kii Province.
The Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine stands within the town borders, marking a critical point along the UNESCO-recognized Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes.
Visitors can observe daily tuna auctions at the local fish market between 7:00 and 7:30, excluding Saturdays and designated holidays.
The Urashima Hotel features the Bokido Bath, positioned inside a natural coastal cave that overlooks the Pacific Ocean waters.
