After the Kishi River Line was handed over to the local third-sector railway operator Wakayama Electric Railway in 2006, it was converted into an unmanned station in order to improve the utilization and utilization of local lines. For tourism in the surrounding area, the 8-year-old calico cat "Kodama" (たま) raised by the "Oyama Shoten" shop attached to the station was appointed as the station manager of Kishi Station, which became a topic for a while. "Xiaoyu" (died in June 2015) is now on duty with the second-generation cat stationmaster Eryu. There are three special trains on the entire line: Xiaoyu, Strawberry and Toy.

• Wakayama Prefecture Kuroshio Market is the oldest fresh food market in Kansai, with a history of nearly 17 years. It is decorated in the style of a Japanese market in the 1960s and is the coolest seafood market in the Kansai region. It can be called a seafood museum. From Kyushu to Hokkaido, a variety of seafood products from all over Japan are dazzling and mouth-watering. There are three scheduled tuna dismemberment shows here every day (11:00, 12:30, 15:00). With only a knife, the huge tuna is cleanly dismembered in an instant. During the performance, the little master is the master of technique. Equally important to entertainment, the audience also held their breath and occasionally exclaimed in uncontrollable exclamations. The young man explained the composition of tuna during the dissection session, which is rare to see elsewhere.
• Lunch recommendation: There are several restaurants and barbecue shops in the market, where you can freely taste fresh seafood. In addition to a variety of fresh fish and raw materials for sale, there are also a variety of Wakayama souvenirs for sale, such as seafood, plums, and soy sauce.
