Toretore Onsen (Optional Experience)
Toretore Onsen in Wakayama’s Shirahama is one of Japan’s oldest and most renowned hot springs, with over 1,350 years of history. It was once visited by emperors and is mentioned in ancient Japanese texts. The onsen features Japan’s first salt-stone bedrock bath and smooth, skin-friendly sodium bicarbonate spring water.

• Senjojiki - Senjojiki is a distinctive coastal rock formation on the western shore of Shirahama in Wakayama Prefecture. Formed by centuries of wave erosion from the Pacific Ocean, the layered sandstone terrain resembles a series of overlapping rock slabs. Covering about 4 hectares—enough to fit a thousand tatami mats, hence the name “Senjojiki”—this natural wonder is one of Shirahama’s iconic sights, alongside Sandanbeki and Engetsu Island. It’s especially famous for its sunsets, often selected among the “100 Best Sunsets in Japan.” With its dramatic coastal cliffs, roaring ocean waves, and secluded atmosphere, watching the sun set into the Pacific here feels like standing at the edge of the world.
• Sandanbeki Cave - Sandanbeki Cliffs & Sandanbeki Cave – Towering Cliffs and Pirate Legends
  Part of the Yoshino-Kumano National Park, Sandanbeki is a breathtaking cliffside attraction in Shirahama, also known as a romantic spot for couples. The cliff stretches 2 kilometers into the ocean and rises 50 to 60 meters high, with a viewing platform offering panoramic sea views. These dramatic cliffs have witnessed many historical events; during the Heian period (794–1185), pirates once hid in the cave beneath.

You can take an elevator 36 meters down into the cave, where sea erosion has carved mysterious passageways. Inside, you’ll find displays of pirate-related artifacts and fascinating natural formations.
