Ride the Kuroshio Current from Wakayama to the great city of Edo.

Merchants from Kii Wakayama crossed these waters carrying mandarins, Binchotan charcoal, timber, pickled plums, and other local products. Their trade brought prosperity to the region and helped shape Japan's development.

Now it's your turn to follow their route and begin a journey to Edo!

Begin a journey through the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain of Kansai.

From sea to sky, and from sky to land,
water changes its form as it travels.
For countless generations, this cycle has remained unchanged,
shaping and sustaining the history and culture of Kansai.

Now it's your turn.
See the world through the eyes of water
and embark on a journey across Kansai!

During the age of the samurai, Wakayama was connected to the wider world.

Follow the trade routes that linked Kii Province with foreign merchants from distant lands.

Now,
step aboard as a sailor of the Sengoku Era
and set sail on a voyage toward Europe!

However, developing this area first would make it harder to highlight Wakayama's unique identity and local character, so it should come later.
