Shiraraso Grand Hotel (Shirahama, Nishimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, General Manager: Eiichi Nojiri), operated by Gran Vista Hotel & Resort Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Yukio Arai), is launching a hotel-guest-only nighttime relaxation experience called "Moon & Wave Beach" from Wednesday, July 1 to Friday, August 31, 2026.
Shirarahama Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Kansai region. While it attracts many visitors during the day, at night it transforms into a quiet, tranquil setting bathed in the sound of waves and moonlight. Taking advantage of its location just a 30-second walk from the beach, Shiraraso Grand Hotel is launching "Moon & Wave Beach" — a hotel-guest-only nighttime program made possible by its direct beach access.
Stepping away from digital devices, guests can spend the evening surrounded by the rhythmic sound of the waves and the glow of the moon, with a drink in hand — options include local Wakayama favorites such as Nagisa Beer, refreshing Wakayama Mandarin Juice, and Ume Drink. The experience is designed to gently wash away the fatigue of daily life and is suitable for a wide range of guests, from families with children to those seeking a slower, more relaxed pace.
