Shirahama Beach

Shirahama Beach located in Japan is known for its good surfing conditions and beautiful Shinto shrine located next to the beach. There are many stores and shops located around the main road for shopping and exploring.  The beach is located near mountains causing a very interesting atmosphere! "Pensions" are where you reside at when visiting the beach. They have traditional Japanese style rooms and living spaces. Fun fact; many Pensions don't obtain toiletries such as towels, razors, toothbrushes, etc but this particular one does! The luscious white sand helps this beach to be one if the most famous beaches in Japan!
