Experiences during the trip
◎9:00 Departure / 12:00 Lunch at Pescatore Shirahama
A one-night, two-day trip to Wakayama from Osaka with my partner. For lunch, we visited 'Pescatore Shirahama', which we had enjoyed on a previous visit. We were blessed with good weather and savored delicious pizza and pasta while overlooking the blue sea from the terrace.
We wanted to stop by the market but decided to head further beyond Shirahama.
As we had planned to stay without meals, we stopped by 'Shirahama Fresh Fish Shop' to get fresh sashimi for dinner. Unexpectedly, we had a great time watching a cool older man skillfully prepare fish and even got to hold a freshly caught lobster!
◎15:00 Roadside Station Susami / Hotel
Roadside stations are so much fun! We bought some snacks, alcohol, and fresh strawberries.
Arriving nearby at the 'Fairfield by Marriott Wakayama Kumano Kodo Susami.' As mentioned above, the spacious room with large windows offered a view of the emerald blue sea, providing a relaxing and elegant time.
◎18:00 Dinner / Onsen
To avoid the busy bath, we had dinner first, savoring the fresh sashimi we bought from Shirahama Fresh Fish Shop! The deliciousness of the seafood made us smile. After a bit of rest, we relaxed our bodies and minds in the onsen!
After returning to our room, we enjoyed chilled local sake and eel snacks (which any sake lover must try!) while having an intimate chat with my partner. It was a satisfying night that filled our hearts far away from our usual busy lives.
Day 2: Susami ~ Chio Misaki ~ Nachi ~ (Mie) ~ Osaka
◎6:30 Wake Up / Sunrise
To catch the sunrise over the horizon, I woke up my partner, who was still sleepy, and headed to a convenience store near the hotel. The breathtaking view we witnessed from there brought tears to our eyes as it was incredibly beautiful and deeply moving.
◎8:00 Breakfast at Cafe Cocon
We found a stylish old folk house café nearby! The interior, with its charming decor, created a cozy atmosphere, and from the cute windows, we could see the sea. The morning plate of toast, filled with the aroma of butter, accompanied by delicious coffee and pleasant conversation with the friendly master and his wife made for a lovely moment I would love to visit again.
◎10:00 Checkout
We returned to the hotel to enjoy another onsen session before departing! The overcast sky cleared up to a bright sunny day, and we joyfully drove along the coast, sparkling in the sunlight!
◎11:00 Suimon Festival
To avoid the crowds, we had an early lunch. We stopped by a roadside station aiming for shirasu-don (baby sardines on rice). It was truly a hit! They served a generous amount of topping that was hard to find elsewhere. Not only was it delicious, but the cost performance was astonishing. I believe you would pay double the price at major tourist spots. Eating while looking at the sea was the best part.
◎12:00 Chio Misaki / Hashigui-Iwa
We arrived at the southernmost tip! A panoramic view of the horizon that made you feel the curvature of the Earth! The clear blue sky, the sunlight reflecting on the sparkling water's surface, and the warm temperatures in January were perfect!Choosing the south was the right call!
Next, at Hashigui-Iwa, though the tide had not fully receded, we managed to walk fairly close. We picked up some souvenirs at the roadside station Hashigui-Iwa.
◎15:00 Nachi Falls
As we climbed the mountain road, the temperature dropped, and we felt a different air compared to the coast as we arrived at the parking lot for Nachi Falls. Overwhelmed by the grandeur of the big waterfall visible right from the parking lot, we walked along the steps to the falls. Surrounded by the sound of the waterfall and negative ions, I found myself taking deep breaths repeatedly as I felt the power of nature. I will do my best from tomorrow.
Due to time constraints, we will visit Nachi Taisha next time. As we drove back via Mie along the coast, we stopped at roadside stations and service areas, relishing the aftertaste of the journey.
◎21:00 Home
I will work hard on my diet starting tomorrow.
◎ Summary
While enjoying delicious seafood, I was touched by the beauty of nature and the warmth of the locals, making it a wonderful trip full of memories for a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend the travel itinerary that explores the southernmost part of Wakayama.
May you also be blessed with a happy journey upon finishing this reading!
