Sometimes happiness comes suddenly; sometimes happiness requires a little persistence; sometimes happiness requires a little luck. In Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, a place perfect for watching the sunset, we planned to embellish our journey with the sunset every day. However, as dusk approached, the sky was covered with dark clouds. I thought about giving up dessert today and looking forward to tomorrow. But we still drove to Entsuki Island. This circular sea cave is a great place to watch the charming sunset. If you can't see the sunset, you can also look at the clouds. As a result, God created a gap in the horizon, allowing us to see a beautiful sunset! 📍 3740 Shirahang Town, Nishimulou County 🚎 Take the shuttle bus from JR Shirahama Station and get off at Rinkai Station Engetsujima is famous in the Kansai region for its circular sea caves and the beautiful sunset you can see. Due to the different positions of the sun, you can only see the sun set into the cave on certain days in winter. If you don't check the dates in advance, you can only rely on your luck. #日本景点 #日本 #外游 #和歌山県 #白滨 #円月島 #圆月島 #夕阳 #落日 #sunset #japan #景景 #农村系列

Engetsuto is one of the tourist spots in Shirahama Onsen, a town of hot springs and pandas. It is said that the island got its name from the moon-shaped sea cave that was created in the center of the island by sea erosion. Only for a few days a year, including the spring and autumn equinoxes, the setting sun fills the sea cave completely, allowing you to enjoy a spectacular view that you can't see anywhere else. Information current as of June 2022. #Spectacular views #Historical sites #Shirahama Onsen #Photogenic spots #Shirahama #Quintessa campaign #Hot springs #Engetsuto

Wakayama, Japan. Sunset at Engetsu Island, Shirahama. It rained all the way to Shirahama, but luckily, the clouds slowly parted in the evening. Walking along the winding coastline, the sea breeze carried the unique salty smell of the ocean, gently tugging at my hair. From a distance, I could see Engetsu Island standing quietly between the sea and the sky, gently surrounded by clear water. Soon, the setting sun's rays pierced through the clouds, giving Engetsu Island a golden edge. The sky turned orange-red, and the sun quickly sank, turning the sky and sea into a golden world. This hard-won sunset at Engetsu Island was more stunning than I had imagined.

The Senjojiki coastline is one of the more famous coastlines in Japan. There is a big advantage to visiting it in winter - there are very few people‼ ️Contract the entire coastline, you can shoot whatever you want and however you want! The sloping rocks that protrude from the tip of Setozaki toward the Pacific Ocean have been eroded by the raging waves, creating a magnificent landscape. It's like a work of art created by the earth and the sea. On the south coast of Senjojiki stands the Sandanbeki, a 50m high cliff. This large rock wall stretches 2km from north to south, and the sight of the Kuroshio (Japan Warm Current) crashing against the rock surface is breathtaking. In addition, Engetsujima, the symbolic island of Shirahama, is also very famous. It is named after the crescent-shaped cave in the center of the island. Yuanyue Island presents a completely different view when the sun sets. All in all, as we walked down the road, the sky was beautiful and blue, and the sea water was extremely clean and refreshing, without any salty smell. [Awesome][Awesome]

Early in the morning, take the limited express train from Shin-Osaka to Shirahama, which takes about 3 hours. The first thing to do upon arriving in Shirahama is to purchase a one-day bus pass at the Meiko Bus Shirahama Station Information Center next to Shirahama Station. This pass is cost-effective as you will be taking the Meiko Bus to various famous attractions in Shirahama throughout the day (a route map of the buses is included). The first stop is Tore Tore Market for lunch, where you can buy sashimi, seafood, and local products. There is a public area outside the market for dining. After eating, take the bus to various attractions. It is recommended to check the bus stop signs for the arrival times of each bus to plan your schedule. The itinerary for the day is as follows: Tore Tore Market --> Shirahama Underwater Observation Tower (only viewed from the outside, did not go up the tower) --> Senjojiki --> Sandanbeki --> Engetsu Island (to watch the sunset) --> Shirahama Ginza Street (most shops are closed by dusk). Unfortunately, the sunset that day did not align with the small hole in Engetsu Island, but it was still worth the visit. After completing the itinerary, take the Meiko Bus back to Shirahama Station and then the limited express train back to Shin-Osaka. Note that the last Meiko Bus and the last limited express train back to Shin-Osaka are quite early (the last limited express train that day was around 7 PM), so be sure to check the timetable in advance.

Shirakaba Junzuki Island, looking straight at the Pacific Ocean. Very chill and relax! Blow the sea breeze along the way, a feeling you would not have in Hong Kong, if you go to Wakayama! Worth a visit! 

The Moon Island is another symbol of Japan's Wakayama Shirahama. Its official name is Takashima, but the shape of the sea cave formed by seawater erosion is called a round moon island. Because the position of the sunset shifts with the season, every day before or after the vernal equinox or the autumn equinox, the setting sun will form the center of the sea cave through the Moon Island, thus forming a superb view. You may have seen the setting sun in the mountains, it is a magnificent beauty, but at the moment the sunset over the sea, that kind of beauty is exciting.

On the first day of arrival, we welcomed the most joyful sunset on Yuanyue Island. It is said that Bai Liangbin and Yuanyue Island are one of the sights of Detective Conan. Are Conan fans coming to punch in? [smirking]? The Millennium is also nearby, and it is very worthwhile to go to Wakayama! ####
