While spring is arriving in Vietnam, Ibaraki is still covered in a blanket of white winter. But precisely because of this, it becomes an ideal destination for travelers who want to experience the atmosphere of a long winter. The crisp air of Ibaraki, along with the pristine white beauty created by the snow, will make you temporarily forget the cold.
Kamiiso-no-Torii Gate
The Kamiiso-no-Torii gate, part of the Oarai Isosaki-jinja Shrine, was built in the most majestic form at a location believed to be where the gods descended. Throughout Japan, the sight of a Torii gate built along the coast like this is extremely rare. Even more special, only here can you admire the beauty of Kamiiso-no-Torii bathed in the brilliant morning sunlight, surrounded by white waves crashing against the coral reef. Many tourists visit this site solely to witness this unique moment.
This spectacular setting makes the Torii gate look like a gateway to heaven.
Climbing the frozen waterfall in Fukuroda
When thinking about the beautiful winter scenery in Ibaraki, it's impossible not to mention the majestic Fukuroda Falls. Each season, Fukuroda Falls presents a different image, making it a popular tourist destination in the area. Due to the low winter temperatures, the water here often freezes completely. If you are an adventurous person, you can join a climbing group to conquer this frozen waterfall.
Stargazing at Plateau Satomi
Plateau Satomi is a charming resort nestled in the heart of Satomi Country Farm. The absence of tall buildings creates a sense of boundless sky. Gazing at the twinkling stars in this tranquil and open space, you'll feel as if you're immersed in the vastness of the universe – something you wouldn't easily find in a developed, industrial city.
