Magenta sunset, Nachikatsuura, Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.

Magenta sunset light illuminates clouds over Nachikatsuura, Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. The impressive Kumano Nachi Taisha, one of the three Kumano Shrines, is just 20 minutes by bus from Nachi Station. These shrines form part of the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Nachikatsuura, don't miss the impressive tuna market auction at 7:00am, easily viewed from above in the open public gallery. (In contrast, Tokyo's restrictive early morning fish auction at Toyosu Market limits viewers via registration and a wall of glass). Japan is the world's biggest consumer of tuna.
