Shirasen Shokudo (シラセン食堂)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Along the streets of the Shirahama Onsen (白浜温泉) hot spring town, restaurants line up serving fresh local seafood such as fish, spiny lobster, and abalone. On the night of the fireworks festival, restaurants near the venue get crowded, so it's a smart choice to take your time over dinner during this window. Choices range from long-established set-meal restaurants beloved by hot spring travelers for years to casual diners where you can easily enjoy a fresh sashimi set, so you can pick based on your budget and preference. Fuel up with dishes made from Shirahama's local ingredients to prepare for the fireworks that night. Taking a leisurely stroll through the hot spring town after eating is also one of the pleasures of a trip to Nanki Shirahama.

Tips

The hot spring town also gets crowded in the evening on the day of the fireworks festival, so aim to enter around 5 p.m. Seafood restaurants can take a while to serve dishes, so allow extra time. After eating, it's reassuring to pick up drinks and snacks for Shirarahama Beach at a convenience store or shop.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 30 minutes. An early dinner lets you use the time before the fireworks at a relaxed pace
