    This facility is located a five-minute drive from JR Shirahama Station on rafts in Tanabe Bay, Nanki Shirahama, adjacent to an fish farming tank. Visitors can fish for black sea bream, red sea bream, yellowfin sea bream, longtooth grouper, flounder, and other species, and sometimes they catch an unexpectedly large fish. There are three large rafts with toilet facilities and roofs and 28 smaller mullet rafts.

    Wakayama Nishimuro-gun Shirahamacho Shirahama 2054-1
    "This museum is located a 15-minute drive via Prefectural Route 34 from the Nanki Shirahama Interchange on the Kisei Expressway. As befits its location in Wakayama, ""the land of trees,"" this building, imbued with the scent of natural wood, is made of cedar cypress wood and stands in Heisogen Park, a highland that affords a view of the town of Shirahama. There is an experiential learning stadium that makes use of video, as well as information and materials about onsen (hot springs) all over Japan, the chemical components and effects of Shirahama hot springs, and the history and everyday culture of the area, are displayed in an enjoyable and easily understood way. The tables on the ground floor, made from local Kishu wood, are a place for park visitors to relax."
  • Aquamarine Shirahama

    Wakayama Nishimuro-gun Shirahamacho Waterfront 448-1
    "This is the oldest diving facility in Shirahama, right off the beach, a 30-minute drive via National Route 42 from the Nanki Tanabe Interchange of the Hanwa Expressway. Due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current, the sea around Shirahama is very clear, and diving is enjoyable year-round. The Diving Experience Course, which lets beginners walk around underwater without worries, is highly recommended. Holders of a C-class diving license can enjoy a ""fun dive"" with a guide. The facility is equipped with a seawater pool, where customers can refresh their skills or learn to dive for the first time. All the necessary equipment is available for rent."

    塩害防止のためか、小さいながらも鉄筋コンクリートのどっしりとした施設です。1階の物販コーナーでは、干物やカマボコなどの海産物のほか、紀州特産の梅干しや備長炭なども販売していました。2階はレストランになっています。

    白浜駅構内にある案内所で、待合室に繋がっており利用するには便利な位置となっていました。周辺のパンフレット類は沢山並んでおり、流石に観光地の案内所と感心しましたが、肝心の係員は不在となっていましたが、駅前で観光客の案内を行っていたようでした。

    白浜でペット可の宿を探してたところ、温泉とお世辞の満足度が高かったのでここに決めました。 他の口コミ通りお世辞にも綺麗なホテルではありませんが、温泉とお料理はなかなかです。 温泉は源泉60℃の掛け流しなので、水を足して自分で湯加減を調整します。裸がツルツルになるし熱い目の温泉が最高です。食事もボリュームがあってお刺身は最高に美味しかったです。お部屋も天井にシミがあったり畳はポロポロと井草がチギレる...

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country’s most delicious ramen noodles.
