YUZAKI SEA EXPERIENCE
The moment you see the morning catch,
Shirahama’s sea feels closer.
A fish market, ocean-view meals and marine activities—without forcing the day into a single plan.
Fisherman’s Wharf Shirahama brings together a market selling seafood from nearby Yuzaki Port, places to eat with sea views, and activities such as diving and family fishing. It is about a five-minute walk from Shirarahama Beach and next to Saki-no-Yu. Stop for lunch, or build half a day around the sea.
Taste, see and experience the sea of Shirahama.

Start at the fish market
See what has arrived from Yuzaki Port and look for the seasonal catch that makes this visit different from the last.
Dine with the sea in view
At Banya on the second floor, enjoy seafood bowls, sashimi and grilled fish with the Shirahama coast beyond the windows.
Share a rooftop barbecue
Club Caribbean is an open-air BBQ venue overlooking the sea and sky. Check the current rules if you plan to bring seafood bought downstairs.

Add one more stop to a day by the sea.
Place food and experience between the beach and the hot-spring town
Visit the market in the morning, eat seafood at lunch, then head to Shirarahama or an ocean activity. Saki-no-Yu is next door, so a meal and an onsen can fit naturally into the same outing.
MARKET × DINING × ACTIVITY
You are choosing not only what to eat, but how to spend time with the sea.
Look at the catch in the market, eat local fish at Banya, feel the breeze on the rooftop and, if time allows, head onto or under the water. Eating, playing and shopping connect as one coastal day here. There is no need to do everything—choose one main experience and leave room for Shirahama to surprise you.
