[Oarai, Ibaraki] Seeing this torii gate floating in the sea might bring you good luck!

During a day trip to Ibaraki,
I was looking for somewhere to visit when I discovered this place 💡 and went there 🫡

Many people visit the worship hall at the top of the stairs (photos 6-7)
and the Kamiiso torii gate ⛩️ (photos 1-2) at the bottom of the stairs,
so I mainly visited these two places too!!!

Apparently, the place where the god descended is called "Kamiiso," and it is a sacred place where no one should step foot 👀
The torii gate was built as a sacred place, and it is said to be a symbol of not only the shrine but also Oarai town.

It is also famous for taking photos with the sunrise, and if you take a photo around the winter solstice, you can take a beautiful photo like the one on the shrine's website 📷

It is about a 20-minute drive from Hitachi Seaside Park, which is famous for its nemophila and kochia, so it is recommended to go there after Hitachi Seaside Park!!!
