Sandanbeki Cliffs

Finally got to come to this place after about half a year later! Came here last July but it was raining, my family and I couldn't do much but make a U-turn even after a long 2 hours ride from Osaka. It was a bright sunny weather this time with nice cloud covers too. Managed to clear this attraction before the nasty rain clouds came in hahaha. As this is our 2nd attraction of the day, we didn't have much time so we skipped the cave exploration( tickets purchase required). #sandanbeki #shirahama #japan #cliffs

Beautiful Rock Formations in Wakayama

Shirahama, a must place to visit when you travel at Wakayama Prefecture. Not just a home of good beaches and seafoods but of beautiful rock formations too. Shirahama has a white stretch of white beach that can be enjoyed by everyone for free especially on summer season. The multi tiered rock formations and great views of the bedrock where the action of waves are sculptured are among those highly visited spots by tourists. Don't forget to drop by on Engetsu Island viewing deck to capture the sunset. #japantravel

Sandanbeki Cliff has two parts, both the inside and the outside. To access the underground caves, you would have to take an elevator down, and follow the path to see the different parts of the underground caves. There are areas where you can see the rocks that have been washed and cut out by the waves, and the splashing of the waves can be quite surreal. Upon exiting the underground caves, do check out the cliffs as well. Heard that this place is one of the favourite suicide place in Japan. However, the view is breathtaking. Beautiful rocks cut into pieces with constant sea waves over million of years. Enjoy the fresh air and a short walk from the carpark! The view is scenic, and makes for good photos. This is definitely a good place to enjoy and embrace nature. #givethanks #givethanks

Strolling in Shirahama | The white sand and blue sea under the scorching sun

🏖️If you come to Shirahama, you naturally want to stroll on the beach and look at the sea. The weather in mid and late September is still extremely hot, the sun in the morning is fierce, and there are few people playing and frolicking on the beach. === === === === === === === === === 🔻The characteristic of Shirahama is the white beach. The popular place to play is 'Shirarahama'. The sand here is made of siliceous sandstone crushed by waves. This kind of siliceous sandstone is also used as a raw material for glass, presenting a bright white like snow. However, due to the advancement of tourism and real estate development, the supply of sand has decreased and the area of the beach has decreased. In order to protect this tourist resource, Wakayama Prefecture has started a 'beach nourishment' plan since 1989. After a component survey, it was found that the sand in Perth, Australia, is compatible with Shirahama. Since then, about 140,000 tons of Australian sandstone have been supplemented here. 🔻Take the Meiko Bus to 'Senjojiki', where there are large white rocks stacked up formed by the erosion of the sea waves all year round. You can see the magnificent Pacific Ocean on it. 🔻Then walk for 5 minutes and go to 'Sandanheki'. It is recommended to look at the sea on the cliff, the cave inside is not very good-looking. === === === === === === === === === 🚌Transportation 🔻My hotel is in 'Shirarahama'. Take the 'Meiko Bus' from here to 'Senjojiki'/'Sandanheki'. 🔻It is recommended to buy a 'Meiko Bus One-Day Ticket' (Figures 10 and 11), so you can go to all places in Shirahama in one day. You can buy the electronic version in the Jorudan transfer guide app, which supports Alipay and is very convenient.

The most spectacular coastal natural landscape in Wakayama Prefecture is the three-segment wall, which consists of three different types of rock, igneous rock, transported ore, and collapsed rock.
