The “Kamiiso Torii” is located in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, and is one of the torii gates of the Oarai Isosaki Shrine. It earned its name by standing atop reef rocks in the sea. With the changing seasons and weather, the Kamiiso Torii appears as if it’s nestled within a sea of clouds, captivating visitors. At sunrise and sunset, when golden-orange sunlight tints the sky, the solitary grandeur of the Kamiiso Torii becomes even more striking, making it one of the must-visit spots in Ibaraki for many travelers.

Additionally, May and June each year mark the peak season for melon harvests in Ibaraki Prefecture, earning it the nickname “Melon Kingdom.” Aside from enjoying the sweet flavor of melons, visitors can also indulge in a variety of delightful melon-flavored desserts and products. Traveling to Ibaraki during this time also offers the unique experience of fruit picking.

Moreover, the vast flower fields at Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture have become one of the top travel destinations. From July to September, the green sweep pampas grass sways playfully, and by late October, they transform into rare and mesmerizing “red happiness orbs” that dance with the breeze, leaving an unforgettable impression.

Take advantage of a holiday to visit Ibaraki Prefecture during the peak melon season and explore the most beautiful torii gates and magnificent sweeps of pampas grass landscapes.
