"Shirarahama," the symbol of Nanki Shirahama, is one of Japan's most beautiful beaches, featuring white, silky sand stretching for about 620 meters, just as its name suggests. The emerald green crystal-clear sea and the landscape lined with palm trees offer an open feeling as if you were in a tropical resort. It has a sister beach affiliation with Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, and it is crowded with many bathers in summer. Fantastic illuminations are also held in winter, allowing enjoyment throughout the four seasons. Walking on the sandy beach is pleasant, and as a symbol of Wakayama's outdoor and relaxation, it is a place every traveler should visit once.
