About TAOYA Shirahamasenjo
"TAOYA Shirahamasenjo" is an all-inclusive hot spring resort hotel located in Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture. Standing on a beautiful seaside selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Sunsets, guests can enjoy sodium chloride hot spring water drawn from the hotel's own source. From the infinity hot spring overlooking the Pacific Ocean, there are spectacular views where the water surface and the sea seem to merge, and at dusk you can spend blissful moments watching the sun set beyond the horizon. The large bath area is also equipped with a dry sauna and cold plunge bath, and outdoor air bathing while listening to the sound of the waves is especially pleasant. Guests can also relax throughout the property, with newly opened public-view open-air baths, a foot bath overlooking the sea, and a post-bath lounge.
