The shrine was charming, and touching the lucky turtle felt fun. Hitachi Seaside Park offered gorgeous seasonal flowers, and Ashikaga’s night illumination was a visual treat. Some walking involved, but great for photography lovers.

I loved the seasonal flowers at Hitachi Seaside Park. The shrine was interesting, especially the lucky turtle, but felt a little rushed. Ashikaga’s illumination show was breathtaking, though some areas were very busy. Worth seeing!

Sakatsura Isozaki Shrine has a mysterious vibe and lovely trees. Hitachi Seaside Park is colorful and relaxing. Ashikaga Flower Park at night is truly magical. A bit tiring with travel time, but overall a memorable experience.

The trip to Sakatsura Isozaki Shrine was peaceful, and the sea-facing torii was stunning. Hitachi Seaside Park had amazing flowers, though a bit crowded. Ashikaga Flower Park at night was magical with the lights. Overall, a lovely day!

The itinerary packed in a lot—from Tokyo to Ibaraki and Tochigi. Sakatsura Isozaki Shrine was serene, and the views at the sea torii were amazing. Hitachi Seaside Park was beautiful, especially the autumn grass. Night lights at Ashikaga F..lower Park were stunning, but the schedule was tight. Read full review
