Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Shirahama Fireworks, Shirahama-cho, Nishimuro-gun Wakayama Prefecture
Shirahama (白浜) is a well developed onsen (hot spring) resort 100 kilometers south of Osaka. Its popularity as an entertainment destination and its proximity to Osaka caused Shirahama to become one of Japan’s three biggest onsen resorts, along with Beppu on Kyushu and Atami on the Izu Peninsula.
The name Shirahama is Japanese for “white beach”, and refers to the resort’s other major attraction, a 500 meter long sand beach. Many large hotels are situated around the beach so that visitors will be just a few steps from the water. Nightly fireworks are held during summer.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Sandanbeki Cave, 2927-52, Shirahama-cho, Nishimuro-gun 649-2211 Wakayama Prefecture
Standing only a couple of kilometers apart, the craggy cliffs of Sandanbeki stand in stark saw-toothed contrast to the perfect white sands of Shirarahama Beach . An area of dramatic geology, the powerful Pacific Ocean waves come crashing into the cliff face spouting salty sea spray.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Engetsuto, Rinkai, Shirahama-cho, Nishimuro-gun 649-2211 Wakayama Prefecture
Avant-garde and romantic art installations sculpted by Mother Nature
Along the Shirahama coastline, Mother Nature has used the roaring Pacific Ocean to create some rather avant-garde art installations, such as the spiky, jagged cliffs of Sandanbeki . However, she’s a versatile artist, and her sensitive side has also sculpted a work of deep romance on the island of Engetsuto.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Senjojiki, Shirahamacho, Shirahama-cho, Nishimuro-gun 649-2211 Wakayama Prefecture
Stroll out to sea on the smooth stones of Senjojiki’s “one thousand tatami mats”
Over the millennia, waves of the Pacific Ocean have continually crashed into the Wakayama coastline, creating spectacular clusters of jagged rock formations. The surfaces, however, are completely smooth, allowing for an unusual coastal hike.
