The Senjojiki coastline is one of the more famous coastlines in Japan. There is a big advantage to visiting it in winter - there are very few people‼ ️Contract the entire coastline, you can shoot whatever you want and however you want! The sloping rocks that protrude from the tip of Setozaki toward the Pacific Ocean have been eroded by the raging waves, creating a magnificent landscape. It's like a work of art created by the earth and the sea. On the south coast of Senjojiki stands the Sandanbeki, a 50m high cliff. This large rock wall stretches 2km from north to south, and the sight of the Kuroshio (Japan Warm Current) crashing against the rock surface is breathtaking. In addition, Engetsujima, the symbolic island of Shirahama, is also very famous. It is named after the crescent-shaped cave in the center of the island. Yuanyue Island presents a completely different view when the sun sets. All in all, as we walked down the road, the sky was beautiful and blue, and the sea water was extremely clean and refreshing, without any salty smell. [Awesome][Awesome]

Early in the morning, take the limited express train from Shin-Osaka to Shirahama, which takes about 3 hours. The first thing to do upon arriving in Shirahama is to purchase a one-day bus pass at the Meiko Bus Shirahama Station Information Center next to Shirahama Station. This pass is cost-effective as you will be taking the Meiko Bus to various famous attractions in Shirahama throughout the day (a route map of the buses is included). The first stop is Tore Tore Market for lunch, where you can buy sashimi, seafood, and local products. There is a public area outside the market for dining. After eating, take the bus to various attractions. It is recommended to check the bus stop signs for the arrival times of each bus to plan your schedule. The itinerary for the day is as follows: Tore Tore Market --> Shirahama Underwater Observation Tower (only viewed from the outside, did not go up the tower) --> Senjojiki --> Sandanbeki --> Engetsu Island (to watch the sunset) --> Shirahama Ginza Street (most shops are closed by dusk). Unfortunately, the sunset that day did not align with the small hole in Engetsu Island, but it was still worth the visit. After completing the itinerary, take the Meiko Bus back to Shirahama Station and then the limited express train back to Shin-Osaka. Note that the last Meiko Bus and the last limited express train back to Shin-Osaka are quite early (the last limited express train that day was around 7 PM), so be sure to check the timetable in advance.

On the first day of arrival, we welcomed the most joyful sunset on Yuanyue Island. It is said that Bai Liangbin and Yuanyue Island are one of the sights of Detective Conan. Are Conan fans coming to punch in? [smirking]? The Millennium is also nearby, and it is very worthwhile to go to Wakayama! ####
