MUYA – Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan
Built in 1962 (Showa 37) in Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan, as the former Shirahama Agricultural Credit Cooperative, this four-story reinforced concrete building with a flat roof has been carefully restored, preserving its original character. In February 2020, it reopened as MUYA, a small, multi-purpose space rooted in clothing, food, and living — a quiet place to relax just minutes from Shirahama Beach.
1F – Café
Serving simple drinks and light meals made with local ingredients, focusing on people and products connected to Shirahama and the wider Wakayama area.
2F – Clothing Store
Offering timeless, Japanese-made clothing based on the concept of “like water — belonging to nothing,” moving freely beyond trends or categories.
3F – Lodging
A minimal, single-room stay for one group per day, with only the essentials — a peaceful place to begin or end your journey.
4F – Gallery
Hosting occasional exhibitions and related events.
MUYA is not simply about eating, wearing, or staying. It is a hidden spot where visitors can feel “something like” — a quiet starting point or a small moment of awareness that lingers after the visit.
