On July 2, 2024, I went on a day trip to Shirahama Town in Wakayama Prefecture. From early morning to night, I had a fulfilling day. Flight Information ✈️ 🛫Outbound: JL213, Departing Haneda at 07:20 - Arriving at Nanki-Shirahama at 08:35 🛬Return: JL218, Departing Nanki-Shirahama at 18:35 - Arriving at Haneda at 19:45 1️⃣ Sandanbeki (Cave) 🏞️ The first place I visited was the famous cliff 'Sandanbeki' on the Shirahama coast. The magnificent rock wall stretches about 2 kilometers towards the sea, and I was overwhelmed by its power. At the base of the rock wall, there is a 36-meter-deep cave formed by sea erosion, which can be explored by descending an elevator. I was impressed by the mystical space created by the power of nature. 2️⃣ Senjojiki 🌅 Next, I visited 'Senjojiki.' The waves have eroded the sandstone, creating a vast rock formation with the area of a thousand tatami mats. The unique terrain and the expansive view are truly spectacular, and the sunset over the Pacific Ocean is so beautiful that it has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 sunsets. I was captivated by the contrast of the sky and sea dyed by the sunset. 3️⃣ Shirarahama 🏖️ Shirarahama is a beach famous for its white quartz sand and hot springs. It has a friendly relationship with Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, and its beauty is well-known. Although the official swimming season starts next week, the beach was already bustling with many people, giving a sense of the arrival of summer. 4️⃣ Fisherman's Wharf 🍣🍺 After getting tired of walking, I enjoyed a platter of fresh seafood sashimi at 'Fisherman's Wharf.' The combination of plump sashimi and cold beer was the best, and it blew away the fatigue of the trip. I had a blissful time enjoying the local flavors. 5️⃣ Adventure World 🐼🐯🐬 The last place I visited was 'Adventure World.' Inside the park, I encountered animals that are rarely seen, such as giant pandas, white tigers, and dolphins. The dolphin show was particularly spectacular, and I was thrilled by the dolphins' elegant performance. My heart was healed by interacting with the animals. ☀️This day trip to Wakayama was a fulfilling day from morning to night, fully enjoying the beauty of nature, interaction with animals, and delicious food. I would like to visit again.❤️

We took Safari ride to visiting Herbivore zone and carnivore zone and are arranged to feed giraffe and Rhino, funny experience but bit excited. Spent 80 mins for whole ride about 1.5 km with slow speed and guided by pilot car. Pilot keeps talking to you over walkie talkie and introduce the animals along the trip. You should make reservation on their web page if you want to drive by yourself which cost you about 20,000 yen. You can also choose to ride buggy but it is allowed to visit herbivore zone only.

Adventure World has had the baby panda Kaedehama, born last year, on display since March. To see Kaedehama and mother panda Lianghama, you have to enter a lottery in advance on the Adventure World website, and I won this time, so I went. Kaedehama is getting bigger and bigger, but he still moves like a baby and is very cute, so I recommend seeing him while you can. There are also dolphin shows, safari tours, and you can see many animals up close, and the staff are all animal lovers, so you can have fun even if you only go for a day. #having fun at the theme park #summer trip #trip with kids

I came on this adventure because I wanted to go and see pandas before they disappear from Japan. My parents brought me here when I was little and we came here every summer as a family! I've been coming here for about 15 years now, so I thought I could guide the way, but I got a little lost when I came here again after such a long time! lol I used to come here a lot when I was little and rode a lot of rides, so it's been a while since I've been to an aquarium or zoo, and I felt nostalgic! I'm sure I enjoyed the orca rides a long time ago, so I wonder if there are no orcas left now? I'm a little sad that the pandas are gone again! I hope they continue to do their best as an amusement park, zoo, and aquarium that will liven up Kansai!! I think I used to often see killer whale shows, so today there were only dolphins, and I wonder if it's difficult to raise them now?

#MayTravelSupport #KansaiTravel #ShirahamaTravel #JapanTravel #OverseasTravel There are many delicious restaurants and tourist attractions, so Osaka travel is always fun!

📍Wakayama Prefecture A two-day, one-night trip to Wakayama. This was a family trip, so we made plans that both children and adults could enjoy. The weather was cloudy, but the tourist spots and inns were great and we enjoyed them regardless of the weather, so I'll introduce them here. 【Tourist spots】 ⚫︎Adventure World ⚫︎Shirahama Energy Land ⚫︎Katsuura Nachi Falls ⚫︎Hashiguiiwa 【Inn】 ⚫︎ "Hotel Nakanoshima" A rare inn that floats at the end of a boat, the natural hot spring inn "Hotel Nakanoshima". The shuttle boat crosses the sea on a private boat from Katsuura Port. The highlight of the hotel is the spectacular open-air bath "Kishu Chomon-no-yu", where you can enjoy the view of the ocean in front of you and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. It was great to soak in the hot spring while listening to the sound of natural waves. Please use this as a reference for your trip🔖 #Wakayama #WakayamaTrip #DomesticTrip #0YenTrip

#themepark We recently visited the park and we enjoyed it. You can get up close with some of the animals as they are not in the cage and seems that they are used to the people around them. We also like the Kenya Train as it goes around the safari world and into the carnivore section. But if you want to get up close with the herbivore animals in the safari, try the walking safari trail. The dolphin show is also very good. There are many dolphins than we expected so my daughter really enjoyed it. One of the reason that we came was to see a real panda and we were not disappointed. It was a Panda Fes day and the park has several events regarding Pandas.

Adventure World Shirahama is an ideal dreamland for a family outing, especially with its impressive panda and dolphin shows! As soon as I entered the park, I was captivated by the adorable pandas in the Panda House. Watching them lazily sleep or munch on bamboo instantly melted away all my worries. Every move they made was so cute that I couldn't take my eyes off them! Then came the much-anticipated dolphin show! These intelligent dolphins, guided by their trainers, performed incredible jumps and spins. Every time they leaped out of the water and gracefully soared through the air, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers. The bond and trust between humans and animals were truly touching. Especially during the moments of interaction between the dolphins and people, the harmony and joy were infectious to everyone present. At Adventure World Shirahama, you can not only get up close with adorable animals but also experience the beautiful interactions between humans and nature, and humans and animals. Whether it's the pandas' laziness or the dolphins' energy, every corner of this place is filled with joy and warmth. If you love animals, don't miss out on this heartwarming park!

Shirahama Town, located in the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture in the Kansai region, is home to Nanki Shirahama Airport, which can be reached in about 1 hour and 15 minutes by direct flight from Tokyo Haneda Airport. Shirarahama, famous for its white sand beach, can be reached in 15 minutes by bus from Nanki Shirahama Airport. There are many famous hot spring hotels around Shirarahama. There are many beautiful hot spring hotels such as Kawakyu Hotel and Nanki Shirahama Marriott Hotel. For sauna lovers, the Finnish sauna at Kawakyu Hotel is recommended. Here are 8 places in Nanki Shirahama that I recommend. ① Shirarahama Beach The beach is replenished with sand from Australia, which helps maintain the white sand. In the summer, fireworks are set off every weekend, which is very beautiful. ② Sandanbeki It is a cliff about 50 meters high, and you can enter a historic cave there for 1,500 yen. The sea inside the cave was very clear. ③ Senjojiki It is a scenic spot formed by carving out rocks, and is very beautiful. ④ Adventure World A zoo with pandas where you can see them. Recommended for families. ⑤ Kawakyu Hotel (day trips available) Built during Japan's bubble economy, the interior is gorgeous. The ceiling is gold leaf and there is an art museum inside, so it's fun to look at and enjoy the hot springs. The hot springs are Finnish style with glass windows, so you can enjoy the view. The open-air baths have sofas to lie down on. ⑥ Toretore Market Toretore Market is the place to buy souvenirs. They sell a variety of souvenirs, seafood, and food, and are recommended as a way to end your trip. ⑦ Toretore no Yu Located next to Toretore Market, it has a wide variety of hot springs and a great sauna. The oxygen bath and carbonated bath are the best. ⑧ Kagero Cafe You can eat fresh kagero, a Shirahama specialty. There are also terrace seats for you to enjoy. #Wakayama #WakayamaTrip #ShirahamaTown

#2024wish Cool zoo with plenty to see and do. A bit too expensive and the prices inside the zoo are a bit of the high side as well. So we borrowed an animal designed kids buggy for the day but it was 1,700 yen [500 yen deposit] and then close to the food court there was a play area but you had to pay to enter and play in it. The zoo itself had a great array of animals and was well spaced out. It was easy to get up close and personal with quite a lot of the animals and see them outside of cages rather than the usual cages with bars. Also, the lighting in the penguin exhibit was...trippy.
