Higashiibaraki District Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Aqua World Ibaraki Oarai Aquarium

#2024wish Great to see some sea animals and we were able to watch the dolphin and seal show. You can spend at least 2-3 hours getting through everything. Love the souvenir options after the theatre show and exit. There’s also some food area near the souvenir shop. Great for kids to enjoy! I wish to go back here in 2024

Hinuma Nature Park

#thingstodo Although it was Saturday morning, the parking lot was empty and the course was perfect for walking. It was difficult to take the courses in the park for the first time, but I was very impressed by the forest walk and the view that suddenly appeared. Moderate ups and downs will help strengthen your leg muscles. I'm looking forward to seeing the many autumn leaves under the suspension bridge change color.

Tokyo tower very beautiful place in Tokyo Japan

Who says you can't come to see the sea in winter at the small and less-known seaside in Japan

1.14📸 We came to see the sea in Ibaraki! I really like this less-known seaside that can be visited on a day trip from Japan🌊 There are differences on the beaches in every place along the coastline of Japan Ibaraki has a Oarai Seaside Park, which is a bathing beach in summer The gods/shrines on the reefs can take good effects～ 🚇 We took the express train from Ueno Station to Mito Station, similar to the high-speed rail in our country The one-way journey is about 1H, the express ticket + ride ticket is a total of 3000+💴 It saves time than taking a slow train, the train is comfortable, and there are not many people on weekends You can also take pictures on the way, leisurely and comfortable You can take a bus from Mito Station to Oarai Seaside Park (660💴) It's about twenty to thirty minutes, be sure to check the departure schedule in advance After all, it's in the countryside, and the bus departure interval is relatively long～ 🌄 Many people will stay here for one night and watch the sunrise the next day We didn't have enough time, so we arrived in the afternoon and watched the sunset before returning to Tokyo Fortunately, the weather was good, and the sea was particularly blue💙 The sunset is a bit pink and light orange, so romantic～ The seaside is not as cold as I thought, it's a different kind of romance to come to see the sea in winter💕
