In the summer, there are many events, including fireworks, where nearly 600,000 sea bathers visit each year. The Shirahama, located at the center of the hot spring city, is a beach of white sand with a cascad of 600 meters. There's a bare bath in the bathroom where you can bathe in a bathing suit, and in winter it's also popular as foot water. Baths and facilities are full of water with hot springs and resort hotels. There are various events going on on the beautiful beaches of the bay, with a fine view, shape, and clear white sand. (The local cleaning activity, the summer cleaning by the life saver, and so on.) I can't do it. If you're on a railroad bus, you're on a bus. The line for JR is Shirahama station. If you're in the car, you're in the car It's about half an hour from IC to Country Road 42.

About This Beach

Shirarahama It's a pocket beach that exists between the North and the Yusaki south. It's a friendly sister beach on Hawaii Wyki Beach. == sync, corrected by elderman == It's called Shirahama Coast Park. It's a city park. Shirarahama is one of the best beaches in the world, and in the summer, the main destination is a beach bather who plays around from Kabuki. The opening of the sea on May 3rd, for example, will be held on May 3th, which is the fastest in Honshu. The two Shirahama fireworks festival is held every year on July 30 and August 10th, Shirahama Fireworks Festival, Shirahama Fireworks, 2,000 fireworks are launched in an hour from 8 p.m. to July 21st and August 29th. And there are various events going on throughout the year, such as the countdown from December 31 to January 1st. The water bath, which is drawn from one of the ex-heavy hot springs, is a water bath that is used throughout the year, and there may be lots of well-known hot water and hot baths around, such as the bath in Saki, and visitors who visit here during many years. In addition, the nearby name Shirahama comes from. On July 20, 2000, there was a sign ceremony to form a partnership with a friendly sister on Wyki Beach at the city of Oahu Island, Hawaii, U.S.A. In addition, it was chosen for fresh baths by the Ministry of the Environment in 2006 and was chosen for Japanese baths in 1996. We have built shark netting every summer since 1992, after a shark storm in the Inland Sea. In addition, in Wakayama, rules have been passed requiring that in the water baths be put in place of a net to prevent shark invasion. It is expected that the tsunami will reach the expected future earthquake in the South Sea Traff. Thus, on August 8th, 2024, when the earthquake's imminent information was released, the beachhouse was closed until the 15th of the month of the month when the temporary information was removed. == sync, corrected by elderman == == sync, corrected by elderman == It is said that created the beach by the erosion of the ground on the foothills, but the landification has made only sand sources from the Tiya River. The sand on the beach is 90 percent crystallite. For the most part, Shirarahama sands were mined as a glass raw material and were transported to Osaka, but then were not mined because of the change in glass manufacturing methods and the view protection. == sync, corrected by elderman == The sands on the beach are washed by the waves, but because of the development of the beach area, the supply of sand from its background has been lost, the beaches have become more visible than during the latter days of the Showa season. In order to restore the beach, Shirahama Town started working on a windnet to prevent flight in the winter, since 1982. Wakayama has set up a farm project that pours sand into the desert near Australia Palms more than in 1989. About 74500m3 was put in by 2005, and now we have very clean white sand. However, many other constructions are done at the same time, such as building rocks and blocks in the sea as well as breaking waves and preventing sand spills, but the sand spill itself has not stopped. The reason I'm pouring sand from Australia is because white sands were not found near me as close as the sands of the original Shirarahama. = Event==== (In May the ocean bath is now being opened in early July because of a shortage of life savers) From about July 20 to August 20th -- a Shirahama message. July 30th - Shirahama fireworks festival August 10th - approximately 3,000 rounds from the Shirahama Fireworks. (Laughter) ( Light parade) == sync, corrected by elderman == The Shirahama Town, which threatened the contamination of beaches, such as Poi, has issued antipollution laws, such as Shirahama TownXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and other forms of smoking and garbage, on July 1, 2008, the entire beach area has been banned. In the final episode of the TBS series " GOOD LUCK!!" it was once used in a setting called Hawaii. = traffic access = I'm going to take you to a bus station in New York City, and I'm going to take you to a bus station in New York City. A bus from Shirahama. == sync, corrected by elderman == (Whistling) (Whistling) (Laughter) (Applause) Energy Landside.
