Itinerary

Stop 1

Beyond its beaches and hot springs, Shirahama offers a relaxed nightlife shaped by the sea. Locals and travelers gather in friendly bars to enjoy Nagisa Beer, one of Japan’s pioneering craft breweries, known for its fresh pale ale and citrus “Mikan Ale.” The town’s izakaya serve seafood caught that morning—grilled turban shells, sashimi, and small plates flavored with yuzu and salt—paired with local sake or shochu. During this experience, you will visit two local bars, each revealing a different face of Shirahama’s warm, coastal drinking culture where every toast reflects the town’s easy charm and ocean spirit.
