#Sakura2024 Oarai Isosaki Shrine People who visit this shrine often pray for good health and the most freedom from illness, as well as happiness in life. Oarai Isosaki Shrine is surrounded by forests, hills, and the Pacific Ocean, so in addition to the cool atmosphere, it also has different beauty depending on the time of day. It is another place that I would like to recommend that anyone who comes to Japan should not miss. 📍6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi ⏰8:30 – 18:00 💰Free

#besttrip2023 Just like Bali🌴Sunrise Villa Oarai〰 When I checked in, I was in a space that didn't seem like Japan, and I was in an extraordinary mode. Actually, I've always wanted to swim in the cold🤫, so this was fulfilled. The feeling of happiness after getting out of the cold pool at this time of year🔥 (endorphins🧠🧘♀️) After cooling down, I enjoyed the sauna🧖♀️ I was instantly in a relaxed mode after taking in the hot steam with a self-loyly. The cool&hot temperature really gets my body and mind in order~ The outside temperature was around 10 degrees, so after a short bath in the open air, I soaked in the vibration bath with a temperature that was not noticeable, and spent a blissful time while feeling like I was going to melt in the hot water. After the sauna, we toasted with Bintang beer (This is Bali now🤣🌴) From the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, you can see the sea and the sunrise from the bed. 🌅 It was nice to get up early and have a happy morning una. It would be nice to come with family and friends. It would also be good for anniversaries and special occasions⭕️ I was very satisfied with the quick experience of something out of the ordinary! The staff were kind and friendly, and had lovely smiles😊 #Ibaraki#IbarakiTourism#Oarai#RentalBuilding#RentalBuilding#Villa#Sauna#MorningUna#SunriseVillaOarai

#TravelJapan 😍 I am so happy with Oarai Isosaki Shrine. The atmosphere is very good, warm and happy, the air is good by the sea. Come to visit here and be happy because here 😊 Because it is believed that in the past, when there was an epidemic in Japan, such as smallpox, smallpox, the gods came down to the human world to help cure the epidemic 😚 Including helping to lay a strong foundation for Japan, causing most Japanese people to come to pray for good health & recover from illness 😘 In addition, it is a shrine where you can see a particularly beautiful sunrise.

It is a shrine located next to the Pacific Ocean. Oarai Isosaki Shrine It is believed that if you come to pray here, your wish will come true in terms of good health.

When the waves hit the rocks and the water splashes, it is like a natural scene created for this torii gate.

#TravelJapan No matter where you go, if there is an aquarium, you must visit it because it is very pleasant to walk through the underwater tunnel, see strange fish with beautiful colors, wait for the smiling stingray, and look for the shark. The aquarium is considered a paradise for fish lovers and aquatic animals of all ages. Don't wait to see the cuteness of these aquatic animals. Oarai Aquarium is the largest aquarium in Ibaraki Prefecture, famous for the largest collection of shark species in Japan. The highlight is the clever performance of dolphins and seals that should not be missed at all. 📍Aqua World Ibaraki 📍8252-3 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, 📍Higashi Ibaraki-gun, Ibaraki ⏰ 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM ☎️ 029 267 515 💰 Adults 2,000 yen, children 3 years old and older 900 yen 🚗 750 parking spots (free parking) #thailand #travel #onedaytrip #missnature #centralregionteam #waitingforthedaytodepart #familytrip #goodatmosphere #placestovisit #thaitravelthailand #travelthailand #travelontheroad #tripnearbangkok #beautifulphotospots #cafereview #beautifulcafetotell #cafelife #mustvisitcafe #beautifulphotocafe #pointoutdeliciousrestaurants #secretrestaurants #wintertravel #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation

#Japan Summer Travel Of course I have to have a summer gift when I travel to Japan during the summer holidays The first time I went to a Japanese beach, I chose the Oarai Coast located in Oarai Prefectural Nature Park. The weather was very good, sunny but not hot, because the sea breeze was quite strong, we rented an account umbrella tent and two outdoor chairs at a small shop on the beach, about $2xx HKD, and stayed leisurely for an afternoon. Owashi coast Address: Omaki-cho, Higashi Ibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture

This kind of sea torii gate in Japan is really beautiful and attractive. Although the transportation is not very convenient, I still want to come and witness this Shenji torii gate. From Mito Station, you can take the Ibaraki Transportation Bus No. 50 directly to "Oarai Shrine-mae" station in about half an hour. According to legend, Oaraijimae Shrine was built in 856 AD. There are three torii gates in the shrine, each with a different vision and view. The most impressive is the Shinji Torii, standing next to the rugged coastline, facing the Pacific Ocean, the small torii is sturdy in the sea! The torii is oriented towards the east, and sunlight stains the torii in a bright red on the horizon of the east of the sun at sunrise. Oarai Isomae Shrine is also worth visiting, the unique feature of the shrine is that guarding the door is not the usual stone lion statue, but the frog statue. Although I don't know why the frog is used, but one comes, let's pay homage. Address: 6890 Kohama-cho, Oarai-cho, Ibaraki #Japan Attractions #Ibaraki Attractions #Oarai Isomae Shrine #Kamigo Torii

\\Tourist Spots// Oarai Isozaki Shrine is a historic shrine located on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The impressive "Kamiiso no Torii" gate standing on the reef of Oarai Coast is a highlight. It was raining, so the sea was rough and rugged. 〈How to get there〉 15 minutes by bus from Oarai Station Information current as of July 2022. #Breathtaking views #Photogenic spots #Historical sites #Ibaraki Prefecture #Eastern Japan

Oarai Isosaki Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture is a popular power spot with a divine torii gate standing on a reef✨ The first sunrise seen through the torii gate is particularly spectacular, and many people go there every year to see it. Unfortunately, it was raining when I went, but the torii gate jutting out into the sea was beautiful. The ocean rippling next to the torii gate was impressive! 🌊 Access: 6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture #Ibaraki #Shrine #Temple #OaraiIsosakiShrine #PhotogenicSpot #gw2022jp

Hoshiimo making experience At Minamihama Beach Garden! “Make Hoshiimo Yourself”. We experienced the three steps of peeling the sweet potatoes, slicing them, and arranging them on a tray. 🍠 After that, we left them to dry and they arrived in about two weeks. 🌸 The flavor and umami of the slightly sweet sweet potatoes were condensed! #recommendedfordates#hotelroyalpark

Aquarium at night🐬NIGHT AQUAWORLD To Aqua World Oarai Aquarium in Ibaraki Prefecture. . It was my first time at an aquarium at night, but it was fantastic and a lot of fun! ! The atmosphere was different from the daytime😊 . I enjoyed the show, but the most impressive thing was interacting with the dolphins. There was a large tank where you could see the dolphins up close, and although it was through glass, you could interact with the friendly dolphins🐬 #recommendedfordates#hotelroyalpark

Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture. I went to Oarai Isosaki Shrine, located on the seaside! The torii gates standing in the sea are beautiful! A sacred place where it is said that gods descended. It is said that #Sakareisosaki Shrine, which I introduced in the previous post, is a sister shrine⛩ #PhotogenicSpot

I stayed at the large hotel "Oarai Hotel" along the Oarai coast 🌟 Maybe because it was the weekend, there were many family guests and it was very lively! Before dinner, the specialty, the hanging monkfish cutting show is held in the lobby. Of course, it's free to watch! The man cuts it off while explaining each part one by one. I've eaten monkfish before, but it's the first time I've seen it so closely. It's quite a sight to see. And it's pretty gross, so it's likely to be a matter of likes and dislikes 😅 The freshly cut monkfish meat was served at the dinner buffet, so I enjoyed it ❣️ The hotel doesn't have a hot spring, but it has a large public bath where you can relax ♨️ Oarai Isosaki Shrine is also within walking distance, so it's recommended for a morning walk. If you're traveling to Oarai, please stay here! 📍 6881 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture #IbarakiTourism #trip2022

The "Kamiiso no Torii" at Oarai Isosaki Shrine, a popular power spot⛩ The torii gate standing in the sea is beaten by rough waves and is very mystical✨ It's about a 5-minute walk along the coastline from Oarai Hotel. If you're a morning person, be sure to go and see the sunrise🌅 Cross the road from the famous Kamiiso no Torii and climb the stairs to reach the main hall of Oarai Isosaki Shrine. This is also very impressive, so if you have time, please visit it♪ 📍6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Ibaraki Prefecture #breathtakingview #sunrise #shrine #Ibarakitourism #trip2022

Address: 8252-3 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture, 311-1301 Atmosphere/Facilities: This aquarium is famous for having the most shark species in Japan.

It is an aquarium where you can enjoy the whole day! ◎8 minutes by car from Oarai Station🐬 #Aquarium #A trip to enjoy spring#Trip with children

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

#MayGoodPlace2025 #Ibaraki #IbarakiCounty #Oarai #OaraiTourism #OaraiMentai Paradise Full of unexpected mentaiko - Oarai Mentaiko Theme Park Transportation: Take the Kashima Rinkai Railway-Oarai Kashima Line to Oarai Station and then transfer to a bus The Mentaiko Theme Park is actually a Mentaiko Tourism Factory. In addition to introducing the relevant knowledge, production process and various dishes of Mentaiko, there are also various peripherals for sale. The Mentaiko sold are all sold directly from the factory. It looks very fresh and has a beautiful color. The production line of the factory is also very clean. Through the glass, you can see the staff processing the Mentaiko step by step. Just looking at it, you feel that the Mentaiko made will be delicious. And there is no fishy smell in the museum, so people who are afraid of fishy smell don’t have to worry. In addition to various Mentaiko products, various meals made with Mentaiko are also sold on site, including Mentaiko Onimori Rice Bowl, Mentaiko Meat Bun, Mentaiko Rice Ball, and even Mentaiko Ice Cream. I thought I should eat as much as I can since it's a rare occasion, so I ordered the Mentaiko Oni Mori Donburi. What I got was a thick layer of Mentaiko, and I couldn't see the rice underneath. (The seaweed on top was in the shape of the Mentaiko mascot, so cute) There is absolutely no such thing as a picture for reference only. But to be honest, the quantity is quite large... and it's all Mentaiko, and there's a lot of it. It's delicious, but it's a bit greasy after eating it ^^" It's recommended to share it with two people. Recommended to students who love Mentaiko very much. After eating the rice bowl, I felt a little empty, so I ate another Mentaiko soft serve ice cream. There was a Mentaiko senbei inserted on the soft serve ice cream, which was crispy and delicious. The soft serve ice cream itself is a light pink color, and you can see small Mentaiko in it. It tastes a little salty and spicy sweet, and the saltiness and spiciness are only a little bit. The soft serve ice cream with vanilla milk flavor is unexpectedly refreshing, which neutralizes the sweetness of the soft serve ice cream. Even if it's not convenient to buy fresh Mentaiko, you can buy other snacks that are more convenient to carry. I later bought Mentaiko chocolate (unique taste, not bad but not the taste of chocolate you would expect), Mentaiko fish sausage (this is delicious, well received by relatives and friends, and it feels super suitable for beer) Mentaiko rice with furikake (Very delicious, slightly spicy and goes well with rice, and it comes in a small package so you don’t have to worry about it becoming soft before you finish it) All three of the above are highly recommended!

I stayed at Oarai Hotel Annex and enjoyed visiting the nearby fish market, the impressive "Thousand People Drawings" display, Hitachi seaside park.

We went to Hitachi Seaside Park on a bus tour! It was the season for kochia and cosmos, so we went to see them! The weather was unfortunate, but thanks to that, it was not crowded and we enjoyed a leisurely walk! My friend and I don't drive, so it's hard to get there, so we took a bus tour🚌! In addition to Hitachi Seaside Park, there's a lineup of pear picking, Kanefuku Mentaiko Park, seafood bowls for lunch, and more! You can't stay long at each place, but it's an efficient way to go around, so I recommend it! If you search online for the place you want to go and the bus tour, you'll find it, so choose the combination you like and apply🈸 Enjoy a little field trip! #EnjoyJapan #BusTour #HitachiSeasidePark #KanefukuMentaikoPark #PearPicking

Visiting Aqua World Oarai was one of the most magical moments of my trip to Ibaraki. Located right along the coast, this world-class aquarium offers an incredible blend of marine education, entertainment, and stunning ocean views. As I entered, I was immediately drawn to the massive tanks filled with graceful sharks, colorful tropical fish, and schools of silvery sardines swirling in mesmerizing patterns. One of the highlights was the ocean theater, where I watched a dolphin and sea lion show that left both kids and adults in awe. The dolphins soared through the air with such elegance and energy, and the sea lions charmed the crowd with their playful antics. The trainers clearly had a deep bond with the animals, and the whole performance was full of heart. The aquarium’s Jellyfish Fantasy Hall was a dreamlike space — dimly lit with glowing tanks showcasing jellyfish of every shape and color. It felt like floating in another world. Another favorite was the penguin zone, where I spent way too much time watching the adorable penguins waddle, swim, and interact with visitors through the glass. What made Aqua World even more special was its location. After exploring inside, I stepped out to the ocean terrace, where the view of the Pacific Ocean stretched endlessly under the blue sky. It was peaceful and refreshing — the perfect way to end the visit. Aqua World Oarai isn’t just an aquarium — it’s a beautiful journey through the ocean’s wonders. Whether you're a marine life lover or just looking for a fun, family-friendly stop in Ibaraki, this place is a must-visit. #AquaWorldOarai #JapanAquarium #DolphinShow #JellyfishDreams #AquariumEscape #travelfreak

Aqua World Ibaraki Oarai Aquarium If you come to Oarai to enjoy the ocean, you should definitely stop by!
