What to expect

After meeting your guide and driver at the designated location in the morning, begin your journey.

Head to your first stop, the Oarai Isosaki Shrine, founded in 856 and dedicated to Okuninushi, a deity of great importance in Japanese history. Visit the alluring Kamiiso-no-Torii, a sacred gate standing on the seaside rocks where the gods are said to have descended to earth. With the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, behold the breathtaking view amid the sound of waves that bring a sense of mystique to the spot.

Next, head to Nakaminato Market, which draws over a million visitors from all corners of Japan every year. Savor fresh and affordable seafood caught on the very day at the waterfront market, about 5.5 km from the beach, making it a leisurely walk if you've already spent time by the shore.

Finally, arrive at Hitachi Seaside Park, located along the Pacific coastline in Ibaraki. Admire the coastal dune area, characterized by gentle undulations, with a variety of flowers throughout the year. In spring, tulips, daffodils, and nemophila paint the landscape. Summer boasts sunflowers, lavender, and more. In autumn, kochia, cosmos, and asters steal the show. In winter, expect ice tulips and plum blossoms with seagulls and swans around.
