Heisogen Park (Kishu Museum and Shirahama Hot Spring Museum)
This park sits on a hill with a wondrous view of Shirahama below. Nearby are the Kishu Museum with its collection of ukiyo-e paintings and ceramics, and the Shirahama Hot Spring Museum that explains about the local history and folklore surrounding the hot springs and their medicinal benefits.

Adventure World
This theme park features twin giant pandas and popular shows with seals and dolphins, as well as encounters with animals in the wild. There is also an all-weather amusement park.

Shirahama Energy Land
This fun-packed playground is designed on the theme of the “relationships between our planet and energy”. There are plenty of hi-tech attractions including an earthquake simulation ride and a powerful 3D movie.

Toretore Market
This seafood market is operated by local fishing cooperatives and offers all kinds of seasonal fish and shellfish and specialties of Wakayama. One popular corner chops up fresh tuna into chunks for sale.

Tsubaki Hot Spring
Legend has it that long ago an injured egret healed its wounded leg in these hot springs. The place is popular amongst persons who wish to treat arthritis and nerve pains.

Golf Courses
The nature-rich marine resort of Shirahama is not without plenty of golf courses. How about a round of golf with magnanimous views of the deep-blue Pacific Ocean.

Longtooth Grouper
The longtooth grouper is such a tasty delicacy that they say you will never want another type of fish once you try it. It is served in a number of ways in winter including boiled, sashimi and fried.

Hot Spring Eggs
Unlike conventional boiled eggs, the white comes out soft-boiled while the yolk boils hard because of the hot spring water. The eggs are enjoyed by cracking the shell with a spoon and slurping the white.
