While Vietnam is entering spring, Ibaraki is still covered by the white winter. But that is why this place will become an ideal destination for tourists who want to enjoy the atmosphere of a long winter. The clear air in Ibaraki along with the white beauty created by the snow will make you temporarily forget the cold here.
Kamiiso-no-Torii Gate
The Kamiiso-no-Torii Gate of Oarai Isosaki-jinja Shrine was built at the place where the God descended in the most solemn form. In all of Japan, the image of a Torii built by the sea like this is also very rare. Even more special, only here can you admire the beauty of Kamiiso-no-Torii immersed in the brilliant sunlight of the early morning, surrounded by white waves crashing against the coral reef. Many tourists visit this place just to admire this special moment.
This spectacular space makes the Torii gate look like a gateway to heaven.
Climbing the frozen falls in Fukuroda
When thinking about the beautiful winter scenery in Ibaraki, it is impossible not to mention the majestic Fukuroda Falls. Fukuroda Falls has a different image each season, so it is often called a famous tourist spot in the area. Due to the low temperature of winter, the water here often freezes completely. If you are an adventurer and explorer, you can join a climbing group to conquer this ice waterfall.
Stargazing at Plateau Satomi
Plateau Satomi is a lovely resort located in the middle of the Satomi Country farm. There are no high-rise buildings here, so the sky feels endless. Looking at the twinkling stars in this quiet and airy space, you will have the experience of being immersed in the vast universe. This is something you will not easily have if you live in an industrial and developed city.
