#tripDomesticTravel I went to Oarai Isosaki Shrine, a spectacular spot in Ibaraki Prefecture 🥰❤️It was founded in 856! It is a historic shrine that enshrines Oonamuchi-no-Mikoto, the Japanese god of the sea ✨️ 🌅 The best part is the "Kamiiso no Torii"! The torii gate standing on the rocks on the coast overlaps with the morning sun at sunrise, creating a fantastic sight ✨ 🔹 What are the benefits? Oonamuchi-no-Mikoto is the god of matchmaking, prosperity in business, and safety at sea. It is especially popular as a "power spot for good relationships and good fortune"! 📸 Tips for taking photos✔ Aim for the morning glow (especially beautiful from December to February)✔ You can take a dramatic photo even on a day with high waves!✔ Using a tripod will help you take a clear photo In addition to the "Kamiiso no Torii" floating in the mysterious sea, don't forget to climb the stairs and worship!

Oarai Isosaki Shrine is an old and venerable shrine founded in the Heian period. The deity worshipped is Okuninushi-no-Mikoto, the god of matchmaking, and it is said to bring good luck in love, matchmaking, household safety, protection from misfortune, and good fortune☺️ It is a very rare shrine where you can see the ocean from the torii gate⛩️ The thatched ring is passed through to pray for the removal of sins and impurities and for the purification of mind and body! As soon as you go down the stairs from the shrine and cross the road, you will find the Kamiiso torii gate! It is said to be the place where Okuninushi-no-Mikoto, the main deity of the shrine, descended, and it is a very mystical place✨ Oarai Isosaki Shrine 📍Location: 6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture 15 minutes from Oarai Station on the Oarai Kashima Line by circular bus Kaiyu-go (get off at Oarai Isosaki Shrine Shita bus stop) 15 minutes by car from Mito Oarai IC on the Higashi Mito Road 🕰️Opening hours: 6:00-17:00 #Ibaraki #IbarakiTourism #OaraiIsosakiShrine #FuriTabi

I went on a 3-day, 2-night trip to Ibaraki. On the first day, I took the Nakaminato Kaihin Railway to a place called Ajigaura. There, I went to a restaurant called Kurosei Sushi, and the lunch there was very cheap, and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. By the way, the photo is of the 1,400 yen lunch. After that, I went to a place called Isosaki Shrine, and was impressed by the torii gate with the sea in the background. After that, I went to the Hoshiimo Shrine, and moved to Nakaminato. In Nakaminato, I ate potato gelato at a hoshiimo specialty store, which was so delicious that it felt like I was eating the potato itself. On the second day, I went to the Aeon Mall at Uchihara Station, and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat fruit, pizza, and dolce at Pizzeria Marino. After that, I went to a place called Izumi Shrine, and was fascinated by the fantastic pond there. On the third day, I went to Isosaki Shrine in Oarai, and was overwhelmed by the torii gate in the sea. The sea was particularly rough, so it was impressive. It was a very good trip. #100TravelStyles #trip #familytrip
