There's a ginkgo festival in mid-November that's pretty fun. The only downside is the smell of the ginkgo nuts, which isn't very pleasant.

Nanki-Katsuura Onsen
Located in the southeastern part of Wakayama Prefecture, this hot spring resort spreads out at the foot of Nachisan, an area rich in World Heritage sites. Within the region, an impressive 175 natural hot spring sources gush forth, supporting a wide range of hot spring inns and hotels renowned for their therapeutic waters, as well as many facilities offering day-use bathing.
In the early morning you can watch the sun rise up from the horizon over the sea.
The vast ocean view is absolutely stunning. -
Tajima Bakery Jiyugaoka Store
A specialty store for coupé buns that are commonly seen in Japanese school lunches. Similar to hot dog buns, these soft coupé buns are filled with various ingredients resulting in more than 30 kinds of buns.
Super nostalgic vibe!

Mt. Yoshino
Mt. Yoshino is acclaimed as the best spot to see cherry blossoms in all of Japan. In the spring, the entire mountain is washed with flowering trees as they bloom from the Shimosenbon (the lower 1,000 trees) at the foothills up to the Okusembon (the inner 1,000 trees).
Getting here is easy. Walking around and taking in the sights really lifts your mood!
