Travel Blogger's Review

Yosuke Kashiwakura: Nature photographer.
Works mainly in advertising and magazines on the theme of people, landscapes, and animals living in nature.

This time, he actually experienced the night time menu in Wakayama City.

The Bandoko Garden, which juts out into Wakayama Bay, is called the “nose of the Bansho” and was a watch tower of the sea for the Kishu clan. Today, it can be seen as a beautiful garden lined with pine trees, and Oshima and Futagojima can be seen right in front of it. It is one of the tourist attractions selected as one of the 50 scenic spots on the Wakayama City Manyo Tour Course and Setouchi Yumekaido, and is a pleasant place where the wind blows through ^_^.

Ce parc était marqué d’une croix noire sur mon plan, mais je ne savais pas trop à quoi m’attendre. Je suis heureuse d’avoir continué à me balader, d’avoir poussé mon vélo en montée et de ne pas m’être découragée, car c’est sans aucun doute ma plus belle découverte de ce séjour à Wakayama. Le parc Bandoko Teien (prix = 500 yens) était un point de surveillance militaire, mais est aujourd’hui associé à la poésie. Situé sur une presqu’île, avec vue sur le phare, la mer et deux rochers, c’est un jardin zen où il fait bon se promener, venir pour lire, méditer ou regarder le coucher de soleil. J’ai passé un bon moment dans ce lieux magique à contempler la mer et l’horizon et à penser à ce voyage au Japon, hors des sentiers battus.
