The Shirahama Underwater Observation Tower offers a unique opportunity to explore marine life without getting wet. Located just off the coast of Shirahama, Wakayama, accessible via a bridge from Hotel Seamore, this tower descends 8 meters underwater, providing panoramic views of the ocean through circular windows. Visitors can observe various fish species in their natural habitat. While the facility is noted as somewhat dated, it provides a memorable experience, especially for families. It's recommended to visit on a clear day for optimal visibility. The tower is easily reached by taking the Meiko Bus from JR Shirahama Station to Shinyuzaki.
