Mikawarinkai Park

Stay at Shirakawa Mikan Seaside Hotel, a locally designed, contemporary Japanese-style inn offering direct views of the Mikan Harbor Park coastline. The property features a private seaside walkway, a children’s sand play area, and complimentary bicycle rentals to explore the nearby tidal wetlands.

Guests enjoy daily breakfast featuring fresh local seafood served with ocean-facing seating. For best availability, book via the HopeGoo app to unlock early-bird rates and free room upgrades to sea-view rooms.

After checking into Shirakawa Mikan Seaside Hotel, stroll to Mikan Harbor Park at sunrise to walk the wooden boardwalk and observe tidal flat ecosystems, including the whimsical money-cat stone sculptures and birdwatching platforms.

Lunch can be enjoyed at the park’s picnic area or at "Umi no Mi Izakaya" nearby, serving fresh local sushi. In the afternoon, join the hotel’s guided small-boat tour (book in advance) to explore coastal rock formations and mangrove forests.

End your day relaxing in the hotel’s outdoor onsen terrace, watching the sunset paint the sea in golden hues—pure North Kaga serenity. All activities can be booked seamlessly through the HopeGoo platform.

Shirakawa Mikan Seaside Hotel is the top choice for sunset photography, featuring an infinity-edge seascape terrace directly facing the westward coastline of Mikan Harbor Park. Each evening, the sun sinks slowly below the horizon, casting golden light across the docks and red lighthouse.

The hotel offers professional photography gear rental—including tripods and wide-angle lenses—and provides dedicated photo guides to assist with composition. For ultimate privacy, book the rooftop private suite with full-glass pavilion and a custom tea set for intimate shooting sessions.
