A palace Hotel with all ocean view suites standing on the cape of Nanki Shirahama.
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.
We stayed with my in-laws.Since they couldn’t move around much physically, it was great to be able to enjoy the museum and lounge inside the Hotel. All the staff were kind, and it’s a Hotel we’d love to stay at again.Personally, I was especially impressed by the blue marble columns. It was soothing for the eyes, body, and mind.
tobe nuts 3/25/2026A place I want to etch into my life.That’s how much I love Hotel Kawakyu.Why am I drawn to it so deeply?The almost obsessive passion poured into its creation,and the overwhelming energy of those who built it,come through vividly from this Hotel as a work of art.“The people who created another world”They are truly the coolest.There are more reasons I love it, too.This time again, we received such warm hospitality.The surprise touches took my breath away.My friend, visiting for the first time, was delighted and had a wonderful time,and we were even introduced to an adorable staff member—our circle grew, and I feel truly lucky.I tried a facial at the spa for the first time.Because I have sensitive skin, I asked for a gentle treatment,and with such soft pressure, every part of my face relaxed.Thank you for an exquisite experience.Once again, it was a fully satisfying stay overall.I’m grateful to all of your staff.
