When sightseeing in Oarai, the Oarai Isosaki Shrine ―― designated a prefectural cultural heritage ―― is a must-see. The views of the Kamiiso Torii Gate (as pictured) on the reef above the crashing waves against the sunrise is something you shouldn’t miss. There are many sightseeing destinations in Ibaraki Prefecture where visitors can enjoy both historical and amusement attractions, such as the Ibaraki Prefectural Oarai Aquarium Aqua World and Oarai Seaside Station. No discussion of local cuisine is complete without the anglerfish, where one can enjoy this delicacy hang-and-cut in the tsurushi-giri method, or cooked in a hot pot.
