Nanki Shirahama -A Seaside Hot Spring Resort-

Nanki Shirahama, located in the Kii Peninsula, is a renowned resort area celebrated for its picturesque hot springs and beaches, where brilliant blue waters contrast strikingly with gleaming white sand. During the summer months, the shoreline comes alive with families enjoying seaside recreation.

Whereas many of Japan’s hot springs are typically found near active volcanoes, the origins of Shirahama’s springs are geologically distinct.

The Kii Peninsula lies at the convergence of four tectonic plates. As these oceanic plates slide under the continents, seawater gets super-heated deep underground then rises through fissures in the rock, mixing with groundwater before emerging as the region’s celebrated hot springs—including those at Shirahama.

Bathing in these mineral-rich waters while overlooking the stunning seascape offers an experience that is both restorative and unforgettable.
