[Ibaraki Prefecture] A luxurious early morning visit to the shrine after watching the sunrise

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

Japan in September and October... Off-season travel, anyone who thinks it's boring, stand up.

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~

Oarai Isosake Shrine

#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.

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💕

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

Blue Sky and Sea OARAI ⛩🌊

The shrine is on a hill near the coast of Oarai town. There are three torii gates on approach to the shrine. One of the torii gates stands on the rugged coastline facing the ocean while waves crash around the gate. The name of this gate is Kamiiso-no-Torii, and represents the place where the gods landed. This shrine is also famous among fans of the anime series "Girls und Panzer”. Many ema prayer plaques at the shrine feature illustrations of the characters from the anime drawn by visiting fans. Entrance gate 1 : Oarai Isosaki Shrine Entrance gate 2 : Kamiiso no Torii Decent shrine with homage to the anime. It has 2 entrances with one facing the sea. You can either walk up the driveway or climb up the stairs from the torii gate by the sea.
