In Nanki Shirahama, there is an architectural structure that stands out as if it were cut out from its surroundings. Hotel Kawakyu. A singular work that eschews similar styles and perfects its own unique world. That is why there exists a space that can never be experienced elsewhere.

This is a large resort Ryokan characterized by spacious accommodations, offering relaxation and comfort while enjoying the ever-changing views of Kishu, the sea, and the mountains. You can experience the abundant natural Onsen of Shirahama, one of Japan's three great Onsen, through our own source-fed, free-flowing Onsen baths available in all large communal baths and open-air baths. Enjoy various baths, including a panoramic large communal bath with full glass walls overlooking the vast ocean below. From the open-air baths and large communal baths, you can listen to the sound of the sea breeze as background music, admire the beautiful sunset sinking into the horizon, and at night, see countless fishing lights reflecting on the dark sea.

When we ponder what truly makes a great journey, we arrive at the answer of authentic beauty—something that becomes more profound and meaningful the more you experience it, rather than just fleeting, glamorous moments.

My name is Musashi. Here, time flows gently. My mother's name is "Ryokan Kinjo-kan." It was renowned as a famous Ryokan often visited by Minakata Kumagusu, a great naturalist and folklorist born in Wakayama. Later, "Ryokan Kinjo-kan" relocated to Shirahama, and in Showa 25 (1950), I inherited the name "Ryokan Musashi" from my mother. Since then, I have cherished my mother's teachings and continue to uphold them to this day. While preserving the charm of the old and good, I have evolved with the times and will continue to welcome travelers in the future.
