What People Are Saying About Shirahama

Adventure World

Buy one get one free is absolutely amazing, you can save half of the money immediately, but the items inside need to be charged extra, it is not a one-ticket system, it would be better if the ticket is all-inclusive. The Bin family pandas inside are cute and actively eat and broadcast. It is still a pretty good park, and it did not disappoint.

Shirahama Onsen

enjoying and relaxing in this onsen...very much , the trip is enjoyable and with a comfortable stay for a very nice recharge

Shirarahama Beach

avatar
西等记忆
The seawater is green. It was early in the morning of New Year so there were not many people. Two families were walking on the beach with their children. It was very nice! The beach was easy to walk on because it had just rained. If it was sunny, it would be very slippery! There is also a small pavilion for free foot bathing nearby! I also found a dolphin-shaped shower device by chance.

Senjojiki Rock Plateau

avatar
lienajiejie
It is very close to the Sandanbeki scenic area, suitable for one-line tourism. There are not many tourists, the scenery is pleasant, and it is also a niche tourist attraction. The rocks of Senjojiki are a strange rock landscape formed after years of impact by sea water. Let your imagination run wild. Overlooking the sea, the sea and sky are one color, sparkling, and beautiful.

Sandanbeki Cliffs

avatar
西等记忆
The three-section wall is located about two kilometers north of Baibin, about 60 meters deep; the three-section wall is composed of three different rock formations, igneous rock, ore transporting rock and collapse rock. This is a 2 km long and 50 meters high angle facing the sea, hundreds of millions of years ago undersea volcano movement, forming this spectacular cliff, the Pacific Kumano Beach shocking waves, sculptures thousands of sea erosion landscape; When the spring tide is high, the tide is sent by the northeast wind to the cliff, stirring thousands of snow, amazing natural force great.

Engetsu Island

横竖是二温小迪
It is said that in winter or summer, you have a chance to see the sun set at the gap of Engetsujima. I made a temporary strategy and did not study the camera position or time. I searched on Google and came here to check in. It is not far from Shirarahama Beach, so I just went along to play. It was almost sunset when we arrived there. While waiting for the sunset, we can also soak in the foot bath next to it. We saw a few people on a dam and thought they were waiting for the sunset with us. We walked into the area and found that they were fishing. As the sun set, the light became more and more beautiful. At the same time, I also found that I was standing in the wrong position. Obviously, I couldn’t take pictures of the sun passing through the hole in this position, and I didn’t have time to adjust. Although I didn’t see the fantasy, the scenery was still good. Friends who encounter good weather, promise me to check the best camera position, don’t be like me, and navigate here stupidly.

Shirahama Midsea Observation Tower CORAL PRINCESS (SHIRAHAMA KEY TERRACE HOTEL SEAMORE)

avatar
徐团
This outlook tower is the Whiteside Chittes Hillmore Hotel, but it is not free. There is a coupon for the introduction fee in the room. After purchasing the tour ticket, you have to check the coupon through the hotel's hot spring area to go to the passage. Although the outlook tower is in the sea, it is not far from the shore. If you are interested, you can go and see it. Follow a spiral staircase to the sea below, there is also a mini "underwater world". The staff at the coupon inspection office told the children to remember to count the stairs, and there will be small gifts if they are correct (remember that it is a 60-level ladder, and the small gift forgot what it is).

Kumano-Kodo Nakahechi Pilgrimage Route

M57***87
The Kumano Trail hike experience is unique and memorable. This trail is picturesque and the natural landscape is varied. During the hike, I felt the tranquility and magnificence of nature. At the same time, the facilities of this ancient road are quite well maintained, the signs are clear and provide great convenience for hikers. In addition, the local service and dining are quite good, the food is fresh and delicious. Overall, Kumano Kooji is a hiking route that integrates natural beauty and comfort, and is recommended for all those who love outdoor activities.

Sandanbeki Cave

EKKkk
Sandanbeki Cliff in Wakayama, Japan offers breathtaking coastal views of the Pacific Ocean. With its rugged cliffs, historical significance, and accessible facilities, it's a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts. The cliff features nature trails, observation decks, and a sightseeing elevator that descends into caves used by pirates. It's a serene and picturesque attraction that showcases the beauty of Japan's coastline.
