2026 Ikeda Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in July)

A peaceful city near Tokyo with the sea, beautiful gardens, and the famous anglerfish. Day 1 Start at Oarai Shrine ⛩️ A seaside shrine with a great atmosphere. It can be a bit windy, but the vibe is amazing. The highlight is the torii gate in the middle of the sea. If the weather is good, it’s truly stunning. You can stand and watch the waves and the sea, losing track of time. Next, head to Fish Market Nakaminato 🐟 Food lovers will definitely enjoy this. The seafood is incredibly fresh, with options like sashimi, grilled, and fried dishes at reasonable prices. Strolling around and eating is such a delightful experience, keeping you full from lunch till the afternoon. In the evening, head to Mito city to relax and recharge for the next day. · ————— Day 2 Start your morning at Mito Toshogu ⛩️ A quiet and peaceful shrine with few visitors. Walking here gives a sense of calm, making it a perfect spot to start your day slowly. Continue to Kairakuen 🌸 A large garden that’s easy to walk around with plenty of nature. If you visit during the cherry blossom season, it’s incredibly beautiful. You can stroll leisurely without feeling tired. Then, stop by Senba Park 🌿 A public park by the lake where you can take a walk, sit and relax, or take photos. The atmosphere is wonderful, making it a perfect way to end your trip without rushing. · ————— 🍽️ Must-Try Foods in Ibaraki 🥟 Natto (a specialty of the prefecture) Ibaraki is one of Japan’s top natto producers. For those who enjoy it, it’s a real treat. You can find plain natto, natto rice bowls, or natto breakfast sets. Anglerfish (especially in winter) It might look a bit intimidating 😂, but the meat is incredibly delicious—soft, bouncy, and not fishy. It’s often enjoyed as Anko Nabe (anglerfish hot pot). · ————— Not a specialty, but these are places we tried and loved: HITACHINO COFFEE ROASTERY – Their cheesecake is so smooth 🍵 Udon-ya FUWARA うどん家 ふ和ら – Their carbonara udon is amazing 💕 · ————— 🚆 Getting There from Tokyo From Tokyo/Ueno Station, take the JR Joban Line (Rapid) to Mito Station. The journey takes about 1.5–2 hours. From Mito, take a bus to: · Oarai Shrine · Nakaminato Fish Market

When I first saw it, I wondered if I was really in Japan. It was such a wonderful place 🥺✨ It reminded me of Bali 🥺🥺🏕 At "Tree Picnic Adventure IKEDA" in Fukui, you can stay in a tent on a deck set up above the trees 🏕 #FreeSpot #Fukui #ThemePark #Nature #AmazingNature #BreathtakingView

In Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, there stands a breathtaking sight known as the Kamiiso Torii Gate. Perched atop a rugged seaside cliff, this sacred gate marks the very spot where the deities Onamuchi-no-Mikoto and Sukunahikona-no-Mikoto are said to have descended to earth during the Heian period. The scenery here is truly a masterpiece of nature and spirituality. As white waves from the Pacific Ocean crash violently against the ancient rocks, the stone torii stands firm and dignified, acting as a bridge between the human and divine worlds. It is particularly famous for its sunrise views, where the first light of day frames the gate in a golden glow. Even the historical figure Tokugawa Mitsukuni, the second lord of the Mito Domain, was deeply moved by this landscape. He composed a famous verse praising the moonlit sea: “On the crags of the wild shore, the moon shatters and scatters, yet the retreating waves, gathering it back together, return as one.” This poetic sentiment perfectly captures the eternal rhythm of the ocean and the mystical energy that fills the air at Kamiiso. Today, the Kamiiso Torii Gate remains a powerful "power spot" for travelers seeking peace and a deep connection with Japan’s ancient myths.

#SeptemberDestinations2025 #IbarakiPrefecture #Oarai #OaraiIsozenJinjaShrine #OaraiSightseeing The Stunning View of Isohama - OaraiIsozenJinjaShrine in Ibaraki Prefecture Address: 6890 Isohama-cho, Oarai-cho, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture Transportation: Get off at Oarai Station on the Kashima Rinkai Railway's Oarai Kashima Line and transfer to the Kaiyu-go Bus (Bicycles can also be rented at the tourist information center near the station). The second torii gate at OaraiIsozenJinjaShrine is located just off the road. Its tall, snow-white gate is truly impressive. After passing through the torii gate, a long staircase leads to the top, through the third torii gate, and into the Zuishinmon Gate, the main hall. The current main hall, worship hall, and Zuishinmon Gate were completed in 1730 and retain the style of the early Edo period. The main deities of OaraiIsozenJinjaShrine are Ōmi Takamikoto and Sukunahikona-no-Mikoto. Daigoku Takamikoto, also known as Daikokuten, is revered as a benevolent deity who bestows blessings and prosperity. He is best known for the folklore of the "Inaba White Rabbit," and has been revered since ancient times as a deity of luck and medicine. Shonahiko Namikoto is revered as the founder of medicine and is believed to be able to save all from incurable diseases. The spring water flowing from the shrine is said to be miraculous for treating eye diseases. During the Great East Japan Earthquake, Oarai Town was struck by a tsunami as high as four meters, but miraculously no one died. This spring, which flowed abundantly at the time, not only soothed the throats of those seeking water during the tsunami's water shortage, but also healed the hearts and minds of those suffering from the tsunami. From the top of the stairs, the three torii gates offer a breathtaking view down to the Kamiso no Torii gate perched on the rocks. The shrine features a charming white rabbit amulet, a white rabbit seal on the goshuin seal, and a beautiful goshuin screen with the design of the Isomae Torii gate.

#holidayitinerary Cultural Experience Without Crowds. Unlike Tokyo or Kyoto shrines, Ōarai Isosaki Shrine is less crowded, letting older visitors enjoy the history and rituals calmly. Visitors can observe traditional Shinto practices, ema (wish plaques), and stone lanterns. Nearby parking and public transport from Ōarai Station make it easy for older travelers to reach. Small cafes and souvenir shops around the shrine offer light refreshments. #travel #couplestrip

Normally, you'd climb the stairs, but due to the heat and time constraints, we ended up just cruising down to the parking lot above. In front of the impressive Suishinmon Gate are ceramic guardian lion statues. You can see the ocean from the top of the temple grounds stairs. A tank from the anime "Girls' Panties" raced by. The carvings and decorative ornaments in the worship hall are similar to those at Nikko Toshogu Shrine. The stonework was donated to ensure the safe return of worshippers!

The "Kamiiso Torii" at Oarai Isosaki Shrine is truly a "sea trip moment" to be experienced with all five senses. As you descend the cliff and the sound of rough waves fills your ears, the torii, floating alone on the reef, swaying in the sea breeze, is simply mystical. As the sun rises, the crimson light shines on the torii, and the moment when the crests of the waves reflect off of it is breathtaking. The horizon of the Pacific Ocean opens up beyond the torii. Every time the white water breaks and hits the rocks, the sound of the waves and the scent of the sea rush in at the same time, making you feel the breath of the sea deep inside your body. This magnificent moment sweeps away the everyday and invites you to the inner tranquility of simply "watching this scene now." In the dim light before dawn, the moonlight casts a shadow on the torii, and its divinity trembles in your heart. The poetic sentiment of Tokugawa Mitsukuni, who also composed waka poems here, reaches us as a voice from long ago, and the time spent surrounded by the breath of history and nature leaves a quiet lingering impression in the heart. As the sun rises, the torii gate becomes a light source, merging with the horizon and eventually coming to life. By "simply being there", it is a sacred signal that unites the waves, the sky, and yourself. This is where a trip moment can be found - the torii gate standing on the sea at Oarai is a place that gives you a "moment of prayer" where you can deeply connect with yourself in an extraordinary setting. #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

A suspension bridge located right next to Tree Picnic Adventure Ikeda, famous for its tree tents suspended between trees. It's about a 10-minute walk from Tree Picnic Adventure Ikeda, so you can walk there, but we're sloths, so we went by car 🦥 It's photogenic, but it's not well known yet, so there was no one there ✌🏻 In fact, there was no one at the counter to pay the toll 😂 . . . 📍Kazura Bridge in Fukui 🗺️Fukui, Japan 🕑9:00-17:00 💰¥300 #FuriTabi #HokurikuTrip #AmazingView

In Fukui Prefecture, there is a campsite where you can stay in a tent suspended between trees, which makes for very photogenic accommodations. The first photo shows a sunny day, while the second and third photos show cloudy skies. They look completely different, don't they? 👀 One of the attractions is that you can stay without bringing anything, as sleeping bags and mats are provided. The toilets are shared but clean. For meals, you can use the BBQ facilities or drive to nearby restaurants. Keep in mind that most restaurants close around 7 PM, so make sure to secure your meal early. For showers, you can drive to a nearby day-use hot spring ♨️ By the way, this is serious camping, so don't underestimate it if you're not used to it. Even in summer, it gets cold on the mountain, so make sure to bring warm clothing. We were such camping beginners that we couldn't sleep at all. 😂 . . . 📍Tree Picnic Adventure Ikeda 📸Tree Tent 🗺️Fukui, Japan 🕑Check-in 14:00/Check-out 9:30 💰¥20000

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

On my recent trip, I was fascinated by the torii gates of Sakere Isomae Shrine and Oarai Isomae Shrine. In particular, I was deeply impressed by the majesty of the Marine Torii Gate of Oarai Isomae Shrine and the crashing waves. The torii gate of this shrine is definitely the highlight of the trip and worth a visit. Overall, this trip to the shrine left me with unforgettable and rich memories, and I highly recommend it to travelers looking for inspiration and tranquility. I hope I can go there again. It would be perfect if I could take pictures of the sunrise. #日本 #大araisomae-jinja Shrine #神社

Kazura Bridge in Fukui Prefecture is a beautiful suspension bridge surrounded by nature in Ikeda Town☺️. This bridge spans 44 meters across the Asuwa River and is known for its traditional structure made of vines☝🏻. I visited on a holiday and was surprised by the number of people🤣.

The bridge was surprisingly short, but that made it easier to feel close to nature♡. Around the bridge, there are wooden waterwheels and beautiful gardens, making it a perfect spot to relax in nature♡. 📍 **Location** 14-7-1 Doai Sarao, Ikeda Town, Fukui Prefecture 🗺 **Access** About 35 minutes by car from the Hokuriku Expressway "Takefu IC" or "Sabae IC".

I went to Kazura Bridge at the Asuwa River Gorge in Echizen Ikeda. There is a path nearby that leads down to the riverside promenade. You can walk along the promenade to a nearby park. The promenade is well maintained, so I recommend taking a stroll there when you go out. If you like plants or photography, you will enjoy it even more. There is a toll of 300 yen for adults to use the bridge. You can cross it multiple times. There were quite a few people crossing the bridge during the Golden Week holidays, but everyone was holding on to the handrail and crossing slowly 😁 Maybe it would be good to go with your partner? #powerspot #summervacation

It was shaking + the footing was unstable + the wooden boards were spaced apart 😱 I was nervous as I crossed with my child. Those who had time enjoyed watching the stream from the bridge. (I put my cell phone in my bag so I wouldn't drop it, and I held on tightly to the handrail as I crossed without having time to enjoy the view.) It seemed to be the flowering season, and many yellow-green cherry blossoms, "Goikou", were in bloom. The idyllic scenery spread out before me, and I felt refreshed as I strolled while looking at the cherry blossoms.
