A geothermal hot spot in Wakayama, with spectacular views from mountaintop to coastline
South of Osaka, on Japan’s south coast, lies the Wakayama prefecture. Famous for its white quartz sand beach and natural hot springs, it sets the scene for the unforgettable Five Spring Resort, The Shirahama. This is a place where luxury and artistry collide – from the storied paintings that adorn the walls to the beautifully presented kaiseki cuisine served in the restaurant.
The guest rooms at The Shirahama take their cues from the stunning natural surroundings. Coastal textures combine a clean, minimalistic palette with accents of forest colour. Each room is a suite with its own naturally fed hot spring bath – some with outdoor terrace Jacuzzis – giving guests ultimate seclusion for a spa-like stay. Stay in the Great Bear Suite for ocean views and a sea breeze, or the Dragon Suite for direct terrace access to the hot spring swimming pool.

The Shirahama is well placed for adventurers, as well as beach and culture lovers. Sandanbeki Cave sits beneath dramatic vertical cliffs, which you can see from the geologically striking Senjojiki Rock Plateau. Or take a drive south for Kumano Kodo, a sacred and ancient pilgrimage site, with lush forest and rugged mountain passes.
