Ibaraki Oarai Station and Isosaki Shrine

Oarai Station is a very small station, but it is decorated with Girls und Panzer and sells goods, so it is also a holy place for otakus. It is more convenient to take a bus from Mito Station to Isosaki Shrine, but it is also fun to stop by Oarai Station and watch the groups of men who come to see the anime characters. To catch the bus to the shrine from the station, you have to walk for about 7 minutes through a residential alley. 1. Eat Omuhai Rice at Sakura Dinner, the most popular restaurant around Oarai Station. It opens at 11:30, but it is recommended to line up at least 15 minutes before. 2. Buy snacks at TAIRAYA Mart right in front of the bus stop. It seems to be a mart frequented by local residents. I recommend the above two.
