🏨 BLANCHETTE Nanki Shirahama

BLANCHETTE Nanki Shirahama is a countryside-style inn (French: Auberge, meaning an inn located in rural areas with an on-site restaurant) that features 71 private villas exuding a vacation vibe. The name of the facility is composed of three French words: cachette (meaning hideaway), blanc (white), and fourchette (meaning fork, here referring to gourmet food). As the name suggests, when you come here, you can immerse yourself in an elegant space adorned with white tiles and savor exquisite cuisine. This is the fundamental concept of BLANCHETTE Nanki Shirahama. The guest rooms are standalone buildings situated along beautifully tiled paths. Each room is designed in a room + terrace format, and all bathrooms feature large semi-open bathtubs. Here, you can fully enjoy one of Japan's three ancient hot springs with over 1350 years of history, Shirahama Onsen. The restaurant within the inn focuses on preparing selected ingredients in an immersive environment. The seafood ingredients are particularly exceptional. In addition to a variety of seasonal seafood such as sea bream, tuna, white trevally, scallops, and stonefish from Shirahama, there are also rare and precious Kumano beef and organic vegetables sourced from nearby contracted farms. The fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine, prepared using French cooking techniques, has garnered praise even from food connoisseurs. Please enjoy this wonderful time filled with relaxation and a vacation atmosphere.
