Sandanbeki Cave – Feel the Power of Waves and the Mystery of a Spiritual Spot!

Wakayama

Hello, fellow travel lovers!

Today, I’d like to introduce another breathtaking spot in Nanki Shirahama—Sandanbeki Cave.

This spot offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, where you’ll be blown away by the power of the waves crashing into the cave!

A scenic route just 14 minutes on foot from Senjojiki!

First, take a scenic 1 km walk along the path from Senjojiki, which takes about 14 minutes.

As you arrive, the "Sandanbeki" building appears right in front of you.

There’s a foot bath outside, but unfortunately, it was closed that day due to strong winds... Nature’s power is truly amazing!

Time for a cave adventure! Take the elevator down 36 meters underground!

After checking in at the reception inside the building, you take the elevator down 36 meters to the cave in one go.

I actually had a discount coupon, but I totally forgot to use it... So frustrating!

'Hai, Sandanbeki!'—they greet you with a photo-op (lol)

As soon as you step off the elevator, you're greeted with a sudden "Hai, Sandanbeki!" at the entrance to the route, kicking off an obligatory photo-op moment.

You can buy the photo later by the elevator, but I’m not the buying type. Still, I smiled for the camera anyway (lol).

The maze-like cave is both eerie and mysterious!

Inside the cave, it feels like a maze! It’s not only mysterious, but also a bit eerie, and that sense of stepping into another world really gets your adrenaline going.

For those seeking an extraordinary experience, this is the perfect spot.

A spiritual power spot in the cave—Muro Daibenzaiten

Inside the cave, there’s a spiritual power spot—Muro Daibenzaiten! It’s the oldest bronze statue of Benzaiten in Japan.

The hot spring water gushing from the dragon's mouth glows with a mysterious blue light, creating a mystical atmosphere. It felt like a cleansing experience for the soul.

Sandanbeki Cave is a spot where you can truly feel the power of nature and the mysterious energy of its spiritual presence.

The journey continues... Wishing you all a wonderful trip! – TabiJun
