100 Selected Sunrises and Sunsets of Wakayama Prefecture和歌山県の朝日・夕陽100選
About this collection
The "100 Selected Sunrises and Sunsets of Wakayama Prefecture" was created under the catchphrase "Hope and energy from Wakayama's rising sun, gratitude and inspiration from its setting sun." It was organized by the Wakayama Prefecture Tourism Federation, selecting 100 scenic spots from nominated sunrise and sunset locations.
This selection was planned in response to a survey revealing that over 40% of elementary and junior high school students had never seen a sunrise or sunset. The goal was to choose places across Wakayama where beautiful sunrises and sunsets can be viewed, encouraging people to rediscover the emotional impact of these moments.
Selection criteria included unique Wakayama characteristics and accessibility to all visitors. For example, Cape Shionomisaki offers both sunrises over the sea and sunsets into the sea, while the Kawanashi Mountain Range provides beautiful sunrises over layered mountain ranges, offering experiences not found elsewhere.
Alongside the selection, the "Wakayama Sunrise and Sunset 100 Photo Contest" is held. Winning works are displayed on monuments at each selected spot. Many people continue to use the "100 Selected Sunrises and Sunsets of Wakayama Prefecture" as a reference for commemorative photography, with many works viewable online.
