Ajigaura Beach

One of Ibaraki's most popular beaches, Ajigaura Beach stretches 1.5 kilometers along its sandy shoreline. Easily accessible by train or car, it is just around the corner from Hitachi Seaside Park and a popular shopping mall.

Aiyu Brewery

Aiyu Brewery was established in 1804. In Japanese, the name "Aiyu" is made up of the characters for "love" and "friendship." This reflects the company's wish to see sake culture spread worldwide. The brewery is easily accessible from Narita Airport, making it the perfect place to learn about the history and tradition of Japanese sake.

Ishihama Beach

With its white sands and green pine trees, Ishihama Beach is considered one of Japan’s one hundred most beautiful beaches. The landscape along the beach varies from pure white sands to steep cliffs.
Free showers, toilets and lockers are available and there are several hot springs located close to the beach.

Isaka Brewery

With a history spanning over 200 years, Isaka Brewery is inseparable from its location in the Satomi area of Hitachiota City. The brewery uses locally-produced rice for its sake. Make sure to check out the unique anime-themed labels, too!

Isohara Futatsushima Beach

Futatsushima translates to "two islands" in Japanese and is named after the two uninhabited islands that symbolize this beach. It is particularly popular with families due to its beautiful white sands, clear waters, and easy access by car or train.
