Porto Europa
About This Destination
Porto Europa occupies part of Wakayama Marina City, a reclaimed island off the Kemi coast, and recreates the look of a southern-European port with pastel townscapes, a harbour and cobbled lanes. Wandering the streets is free, while rides such as a roller coaster, a ferris wheel and family attractions are paid individually or with a one-day passport. In the cooler months the town is draped in a large winter illumination, and the wider island also holds the Kuroshio Market, known for its tuna-cutting shows, hot-spring baths and a marina. It makes an easy half-day outing near Wakayama city, reachable by bus or car with a large car park on site.
