Ibaraki is a relatively small destination near Tokyo, but it has a lot of places worth visiting. The airfare to Ibaraki is also cheaper than that to Tokyo. The most important thing you cannot miss in Oarai Town in Ibaraki is the sea torii built on the rocks. Oarai Isosaki Shrine stands beside the rugged coastline, facing the Pacific Ocean and is washed by the waves all year round. The torii gate is called Kamiso Torii, which means the torii gate on the Shinmei Beach. The sea torii is a favorite of photographers. Wait for the stars here late at night and bid farewell to the sunset here in the evening. After viewing the Torii, you can visit the shrine and climb the tall stone steps to overlook the Pacific Ocean. You can also take your kids to play in the water at Oarai Beach. 📸Recommended nearby attractions: 🌸Kaieren Garden: Built in 1842. It is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan, along with Kenrokuen in Kanazawa and Korakuen in Okayama. A great place to enjoy plum blossoms in winter, the garden has more than 100 varieties and over 3,000 plum trees. 🌊Hitachi Seaside Park: From late April to mid-May every year, the mountains are covered with blue butterflies, blending in with the sky and the sea. Known as "a must-see view before death" 🎏Ryujin Suspension Bridge: You can enjoy Japan's highest bungee jumping 🚃Hitachi Station: The glass station on the sea, with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows to see the most beautiful sea view. ⛩Oiwa Shrine: 188 gods are enshrined here. It is said to have a history of thousands of years. Inside the shrine, there is a 9-meter-long, 50-meter-high, and over 600-year-old sacred tree, which is quite stunning. 🌸Peace Avenue: A great place to enjoy cherry blossoms in March, with 14,000 Yoshino cherry trees blooming all over the street 🍱Nearby food recommendations: 🦀Nakaminato Seafood Market: A local market, where you can enjoy the best seafood with the least money. 🐟Anglerfish: A local specialty of Ibaraki. The meat is chewy and the bones are like cartilage and can be chewed. The liver is even more delicious, like goose liver but more delicate. 🛌Accommodation recommendation: ♨️Oarai Hotel: The location is unbeatable, and Oarai Beach is just downstairs. Hot spring hotel, some rooms have private baths. Enjoy the sea view while taking a bath. #Travel Tips

#getgoing2025 Stayed here only 1 night but found staff to be friendly and hospitable. Guest rooms were clean with beautiful view of the ocean. Hotel is well kept for an older hotel. Breakfast buffet area was extremely crowded in the morning so recommend going right when it opens. Food offered was traditional Japanese, but also a few Western items. A beautiful sunrise can be seen in the morning in the room facing the sea!

Chagama Inari Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 A shrine located within the grounds of Oarai Isosaki Shrine. It is not a shrine within the grounds, but it is managed by Oarai Isosaki Shrine. The enshrined deity is Ukanomitama no Mikoto When you pass through the torii gate, there is not only Chagama Inari Shrine, but also a stone monument engraved with Kushigatayama Shrine and Omikaiso Shrine. I don't know the exact history, but it has a different atmosphere from Oarai Isosaki Shrine, which is quite charming! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Chagama Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚌🚏 In front of Oarai Shrine → about 1 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Oarai #Oarai Isosaki Shrine #Oarai sightseeing #Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrine worship #Temple and shrine

Yoriki Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 Facing the large first torii gate of Oarai Isosaki Shrine, this shrine is located right next to the slope on the left. It is located within the grounds of Oarai Isosaki Shrine. The stone torii gate of Yoriki Shrine stands. Going through it, there is a nice pine forest, and if you turn to the right, you can see the shrine building. The enshrined deity is Takeminakata no Mikoto. A fisherman named Heidayuu found a tree that had washed up on the Oarai coast early in the morning. When he put his axe into it, it glowed, and the god who possessed the person said, "Enshrine the sacred tree of Suwa Myojin thickly." As a result, there were continued good catches, and Heitayu's business became successful and prosperous. Based on this theory, it is said to bring good luck in bringing good harvests and prosperous business. It's hardly crowded, so if you stop by Oarai Isosaki Shrine, it's worth stopping by here! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Yoriki Shrine ꕥAddress: 6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚌🚏 In front of Oarai Shrine → about 1 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Oarai #Oarai Isosaki Shrine #Shrine #Shrines and temples #Visiting a shrine #Shrine tour

Oarai Isosaki Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 I stayed overnight at a hotel right in front of the shrine. I started my day at the Kamiiso torii gate before the sun rose! The sun rose slowly, gradually brightening the surroundings, and I was moved by the sight of the sky turning a deep red 🥺 After watching it, I went to the shrine. It's only a few minutes' walk from the Kamiiso torii gate to the shrine. Cross the traffic light and go up the long stone steps, and it's right in front of you. I worshiped early in the morning in the grounds where no one was around. It's a luxurious time✨ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Oarai Isosaki Shrine ꕥAddress: 6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚌🚏 In front of Oarai Shrine → about 1 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Oarai Isosaki Shrine #Kamiiso Torii #Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrine worship #Shrines and temples

Recently, I've been questioned a lot, 🤔What's there to see in Japan in September and October? Indeed, it's the off-season in Japan, the leaves haven't turned red, and Mount Fuji hasn't been capped with snow, it's boring~ But‼️As a travel consultant, how could I let you be bored!!! - 【Fireworks Festival】 Yes! The Japanese Fireworks Festival is not only in summer, but early autumn is also a good time to watch fireworks! It's not as hot as summer, and you don't have to squeeze in the crowd! September 28: Oarai Sea Fireworks Festival September 17: Nagahama, North Biwa Lake Fireworks Festival September 21: Himeji Port Festival Sea Fireworks Festival October 13: Sanriku Fireworks Competition October 19: 37th Yatsushiro National Fireworks Competition - 【Autumn Festival】 Although the Autumn Festival is not as large as the three major festivals in Japan, it is also very interesting! This year's Kishiwada Danjiri Festival in Osaka is from September 13th to 15th. Don't worry if you haven't set off yet~ There are two Autumn Festivals I highly recommend in October: - The first one: Oare Festival·Fukuoka Every autumn, in order to pray for safe navigation and prosperous fishing, a grand autumn festival will be held in Munakata Taisha. Starting with the "Oare Festival", it ends with the ancient and elegant "Takamiya Kannabe Festival". Among them, the biggest feature of the Oare Festival is the "Sea Festival". Every October 1st, there are about 300 fishing boats holding a welcoming ceremony at sea. Tourists can participate in a tourist observation boat, which is one of the few different styles in many Japanese festivals. - The second one: Takayama Festival·Gifu Prefecture As one of the three major beauty festivals in Japan, the Takayama Festival has been inherited in Gifu Prefecture for three hundred years. On October 9th-10th, the Hachiman Festival of the Takayama Festival will be held in Takayama City! During the period, there will be a parade of 11 palanquin floats~ In addition to the stalls, hundreds of parades in traditional costumes are also a highlight. In the evening, about 100 lanterns will be hung around each stall, accompanied by traditional farewell ballads, and the stalls will return to the "stall warehouse". - 【Art Exhibition Peak】 Every September is the peak season for various art exhibitions in Japan, and there are super many exhibitions open during this period every year. Just the art festivals and art exhibitions in Tokyo can be overwhelming, and many are free. Friends who are interested in art exhibitions and art festivals, don't miss it~

I went to Oarai Aquarium in Ibaraki Prefecture! 🐬🌊 The aquarium is spacious and each tank is big!! Watching the fish swimming freely made me feel like I was peering into the ocean! 🐠 If you sit in the third row during the dolphin show, you will get soaked, so if you want to get wet, you must have a raincoat! lol You can buy one near the show💪🏻 There are many exhibits, so I don't think you will be stuck in one place and not be able to see the exhibits at all! 🙆 My personal recommended areas are the main large tank, the shark sea🦈, and the spotted seal🦭! 🤍 Near the aquarium, there is Kanefuku Mentai Park and the scenic power spot Oarai Isosaki Shrine⛩️! After the aquarium, you can eat a seafood bowl and enjoy the sunset by the sea! 💯 (You can also get there by train, but if you plan on sightseeing in the area, we recommend a car!) This is one aquarium you should definitely visit at least once😌❣️ 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (last entry 16:00) 💰Price per person: Adults 2,300 yen / Elementary and junior high school students 1,100 yen, infants (3 years and older) 400 yen / Free for children under 3 years old #100TravelStyle #Oarai #AquaWorldIbarakiOaraiAquarium

#japantrip Have you been out to the Oarai Isosake Shrine? It's a beautiful shrine set up on a hillside overlooking the Pacific ocean, plus the dramatic Kamiiso-no-Torii gate standing alone on a rocky area at the edge of the sea. "This shrine was founded in 856 when two deities are said to have descended upon the coast of Oarai. The two enshrined at Oarai Isosaki Shrine are Daikoku-sama, the god of nation-building and national prosperity, and Sukunahikona-no-Mikoto, the god of medicine. Oarai Isosaki Shrine is associated with the nearby Kamiiso-no-Torii, a sacred gate where the gods are said to have descended earth. This shrine gate stands dramatically on rocks in the Pacific Ocean and attracts photographers worldwide. On New Year's Day, the sun rises directly between the pillars of the shrine gate." This spot also has a little sea museum and a big rocky beach to enjoy and build a rock tower (rock cairn). 📍 6890 Isohamacho, Oarai, Higashiibaraki District, Ibaraki 311-1301 🚗 Plenty of parking available at the shrine. It takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes to drive there from Yokosuka. It's north of Tokyo on the ocean.
