FIVE SPRING RESORT THE SHIRAHAMA

Every suite at this all-inclusive resort has its own hot-spring bath, and several open onto a terrace with a jacuzzi or a private outdoor tub facing the sea. The shared bathhouse, Junsen Gokou no Yu (純泉・五光の湯), pairs an indoor bath with a rotenburo looking out over the trees and hills behind the hotel; the spring water comes straight from the hotel's own source and isn't blended with tap water. A heated pool filled with the same spring water rounds out the bathing options, and some suites open directly onto it. The hotel is a newer, 18-suite all-inclusive property on the Nanki-Shirahama coast, with ocean views from every room and meals, drinks and bath access folded into the stay. It was the first hotel in Wakayama listed in the Michelin Guide's 2025 hotel selection.
