About this activity

江戸時代、日本には「贅沢をしてはいけない」という「ぜいたくを禁じる法律」がありました。

その頃の将軍は、和歌山藩主から八代将軍となった徳川吉宗です。

華やかな髪飾りが禁止される中、町人たちは機転を利かせました。

「これは飾りではありません。耳掃除の道具です。」

そう言って、かんざしの先に耳かきを付けたという逸話が今も語り継がれています。役人と町人の知恵比べから生まれた、江戸らしい粋な遊び心でした。

やがて耳かきは、耳をきれいにする道具であるだけでなく、人と人とのふれあいを生み、心まで癒やす日本独自の文化へと発展していきます。

このツアーでは、まずお好きな浴衣または着物に着替えます。

その後、レトロな雰囲気が残る商店街を散策しながら、紀州徳川家ゆかりの和歌山城へ向かいます。和歌山の歴史に思いを馳せながら歩けば、江戸時代とのつながりをより身近に感じられるでしょう。

歴史ある和歌山城で思い出の写真を撮影した後は、日本ならではの癒やし文化を現代に受け継ぐ「イヤーエステ」をご体験いただきます。

BONITA BONITOでは、モニターで耳の中をご覧いただきながら、プロによる丁寧な耳掃除、日本独自の耳つぼケア、そして心地よいマッサージをご提供します。身体だけでなく心まで深くリラックスできる、日本でも珍しいウェルネス体験です。

江戸時代に育まれた耳かき文化を、現代のイヤーエステとして体験する――。

歴史と癒やしがひとつにつながる、和歌山でしか味わえない特別な時間をお楽しみください。そして関西国際空港へ向かう前に、日本での最後の思い出を、心に残る体験で締めくくってください。

Itinerary

  1. Wakayama Castle

    2 hours

    Discover a hidden side of Japan at Wakayama Castle, once ruled by the Kishu-Tokugawa clan.

    Wear an authentic kimono and stroll through peaceful stone paths, lush gardens, and historic gates and watchtowers. Unlike Kyoto or Osaka, Wakayama offers a calm, uncrowded atmosphere where you can truly relax and enjoy Japan at your own pace.

    Enjoy a traditional matcha tea experience in a tea room—and you might even encounter a ninja, adding a memorable touch to your journey.

    Complete your experience with a unique Japanese ear cleaning (Ear Esthetic), a rare wellness treatment you won’t easily find elsewhere. Watch the inside of your ear on a monitor as it is carefully cleaned by a professional, followed by a deeply relaxing ear massage that helps calm the mind and body.

    Each moment, from cultural exploration to deep relaxation, becomes a lasting memory.

    Perfect for travelers seeking something authentic, relaxing, and different—especially as a special stop before heading to Kansai Airport.
