Nanki Shirahama, a town famous for its white sand beaches and hot springs

Shirahama Town, located in the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture in the Kansai region, is home to Nanki Shirahama Airport, which can be reached in about 1 hour and 15 minutes by direct flight from Tokyo Haneda Airport. Shirarahama, famous for its white sand beach, can be reached in 15 minutes by bus from Nanki Shirahama Airport. There are many famous hot spring hotels around Shirarahama. There are many beautiful hot spring hotels such as Kawakyu Hotel and Nanki Shirahama Marriott Hotel. For sauna lovers, the Finnish sauna at Kawakyu Hotel is recommended. Here are 8 places in Nanki Shirahama that I recommend. ① Shirarahama Beach The beach is replenished with sand from Australia, which helps maintain the white sand. In the summer, fireworks are set off every weekend, which is very beautiful. ② Sandanbeki It is a cliff about 50 meters high, and you can enter a historic cave there for 1,500 yen. The sea inside the cave was very clear. ③ Senjojiki It is a scenic spot formed by carving out rocks, and is very beautiful. ④ Adventure World A zoo with pandas where you can see them. Recommended for families. ⑤ Kawakyu Hotel (day trips available) Built during Japan's bubble economy, the interior is gorgeous. The ceiling is gold leaf and there is an art museum inside, so it's fun to look at and enjoy the hot springs. The hot springs are Finnish style with glass windows, so you can enjoy the view. The open-air baths have sofas to lie down on. ⑥ Toretore Market Toretore Market is the place to buy souvenirs. They sell a variety of souvenirs, seafood, and food, and are recommended as a way to end your trip. ⑦ Toretore no Yu Located next to Toretore Market, it has a wide variety of hot springs and a great sauna. The oxygen bath and carbonated bath are the best. ⑧ Kagero Cafe You can eat fresh kagero, a Shirahama specialty. There are also terrace seats for you to enjoy. #Wakayama #WakayamaTrip #ShirahamaTown
