Banshoyama Park

At Banshoyama Park, you can see rich nature and rare animals, and gaze from outlook points onto the Shirahama onsen district and Engetsu Island from angles that are not normally visible. The derivation of 「Banshoyama」 is said to come from the observation of foreign ships from there in the Edo period.
There is also the 「Minakata Kumagusu Archives」, which display documents and so on from 「Minakata Kumagusu」, a native of Wakayama Prefecture known as a scholar of natural history and folklore. You can have your fill of both nature and history as you stroll.
