Green-plate vehicle coverage
Green-plate or licensed commercial vehicles are arranged after route-base and overnight logic are confirmed.

Route value
Wakayama is treated as a P1 deep route inside Kansai. The point is not how many places can be listed, but whether the prefecture can become a coherent private route for one party.
Koyasan, Shirahama, or Kumano onsen stays above JPY 20,000/night is the first operating anchor. WAKO reads drive time, seasonal risk, meal windows, luggage, and return pressure before recommending the order.
