[2025 Hannan Attraction] Travel Guide for Yamanakadani Station (Updated Jul)

Tamaco Egg Shop The photos show Tamago Nara, Dashimaki Tamago, Tamago Kake Set Meal, and Mini Parfait Ice Cream 😋 If you order rice, you can eat as many raw eggs as you want, and I ended up eating four 😋 Including the Dashimaki Tamago and the parfait, I think I ate about 5 or 6 eggs. Haha You can also get refills of rice, and large portions are available. We parked at the parking lot of Wanpaku Kingdom right in front! It's quite confusing, so be careful not to get lost 😂 I passed by the first floor. Haha

#Osaka Attractions The clear green water of the mountain stream flows slowly, filled with the pure breath of the valley. The lush green mountains and forests on both sides of the river are in full view, blocking out the worldly noise. Wandering among them, it feels like being in a dreamlike fairyland. The hiking trail that winds up along the valley allows visitors to deeply experience the quiet beauty of nature. Being here, you feel as if you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city, leisurely immersed in the tranquility of nature. This elegant scenery that perfectly blends clear stream water with lush mountains and forests is undoubtedly the greatest charm of Shanzhong Creek.

Yamanakakei Station is full of cherry blossoms. It is a small rural town with few tourists. The cherry trees grow next to the train tracks. There are many photography enthusiasts taking pictures on the platform. It is relatively quiet and there are not many restaurants. The public restaurant in front of the train station is run by an elderly couple. It has a strong old-fashioned atmosphere and is a good choice. From Osaka Umeda, take the JR (Osaka Loop Line) and you can reach Yamanakakei Station directly in about an hour without changing trains. It is very convenient.

Just a 25-minute drive from Kansai International Airport, Yamanakadani is located in Hannan City at the border of Wakayama Prefecture. It was an important post station on the Kishu Road during the Edo period and still retains its nostalgic streets. Since the 1960s, a large number of cherry blossoms have been planted, and now there are about a thousand Somei Yoshino and Yamazakura cherry trees. You can enjoy them both inside and outside the JR Hanwa Line Yamanakadani Station. The route along the line is a cherry blossom forest road, and at night the lights are turned on for night cherry blossom viewing. A 6-minute walk from the station will take you to Jifukuji Temple, which also has weeping cherry trees that are recommended.
