For a classic Japanese beach getaway, look to Shirahama on the Kii Peninsula. The main draw is its long, sweeping coastline of white sand beaches like Shirahama Beach and Senjojiki, created from shipped-in Australian sand. This is a place for soaking in ocean views from the Engetsuto Island rock arch at sunset and then easing into the naturally heated waters of the Saki-no-Yu open-air bath, right on the shore. The adventure continues inland at the Sandanbeki cliffs and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes that weave through the surrounding mountains.
The town suits families and couples looking for a relaxed seaside holiday with a mix of nature and culture. Most visitors stay in the central area near Shirahama Beach for easy access to shops and restaurants, or they choose hotels around the Adventure World theme park and zoo. While having your own car is useful for exploring, Shirahama is connected by train to major cities like Osaka via the JR Kisei Line, and the Nanki-Shirahama Airport offers domestic flights.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find around 30 places to stay here. The selection is dominated by large, comfortable beachfront hotels and traditional Japanese inns, or ryokan, many with their own onsen hot spring baths. A few smaller guesthouses and business hotels cater to travelers watching their budget.
