Experience of the stay
This time, I came to the resort hostel 'Guest Living Mu Nanki Shirahama' located in Nanki Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture with HafH.
Originally a resort condominium, the facility has been renovated, and it seems that many foreigners staying here are walking the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes.
To get to Nanki Shirahama, I took the limited express Kuroshio from Tennoji Station on the Osaka Loop Line to Shirahama Station.
At the time of my stay, it was a weekday during the COVID-19 pandemic, so the train was quite empty.
Especially between Wakayama Station and Shirahama Station, there weren’t many people.
I took a taxi to the hotel not knowing there was a bus.
I later learned that there is a local bus called Meiko Bus in Shirahama which can take you to most places.
The entrance to the hotel has a long staircase, so carrying my suitcase up to the entrance was quite a challenge.
The lounge at the front desk is a stylish space where you can relax while drinking coffee. By the way, there is a free coffee service, so you can refill your coffee as you like.
The room I stayed in was a semi-private one. When I stayed, there were no other guests, so I had access to all the dormitory facilities.
The room is designed with families in mind, so the layout is similar to a 2LDK (2-bedroom layout). In the condominium, you can use the entire room, but for dormitory or private rooms, you get an image of using part of one room.
When I informed the staff that I wanted to write an article for my blog, they kindly allowed me to tour a condominium room.
The condominium rooms are on the 7th floor and are very spacious with many rooms.
The view from the room was much nicer than from the lower floors, showing a clearer view of the sea.
The beach view from the condominium type room gave me a resort-like feeling.
I think I will choose this condominium type room next time I stay.
Personally, what I liked the most was the natural hot spring in the large public bath.
According to the staff, this bath draws from the same source as
Experiences during the trip
Let me introduce some recommended spots in the area.
▼ Nagakyu Sake Bar
A sake bar in Shirahama that has been selected as one of Japan's three major sake bars by sake exploration specialist Kazuhiko Ota. It’s a place that every sake lover should visit at least once.
One of Nagakyu's specialties is oden (a type of Japanese hot pot).
It has a light flavor but the dashi (broth) is strong and well-infused.
The beef tendon was the best I’ve ever had, absolutely delicious.
