Shirahama Beach ๐๏ธ
The panda elements in Shirahama are just too dense! ๐๏ธ From Shirahama Station to the gardens in front of ordinary people's homes, there are pandas everywhereโgraffiti, decorations, gachapon machines, souvenirs... After some research, I found out that Shirahama is the largest overseas panda breeding center, having partnered with the Chengdu Panda Breeding Center for 30 years. ๐ฟ All the pandas with the "Hama" name were born here. As a person from Chengdu, I felt an extra sense of familiarity. ๐ผ ๐๏ธ Overall, Shirahama feels like a mini version of the Great Ocean Road. Although the coastline isn't as dramatic, it's all about the leisurely pace and rich travel experience, perfect for a relaxing vacation. ๐ฟ If you just visit the main attractions, you can take your time and finish in a day or two, but it's also great to stay for a few days and live like a local. ๐ด #JapanTravelGuide ๐ฟ #Wakayama ๐
