Hinuma Nature Park / Hinuma Hydrangea Festival

Located on the northern shore of Lake Hinuma in central Ibaraki Prefecture, the park features six distinct open spaces, including an observation plaza that offers a panoramic view of the lake. 

The Hinuma Hydrangea Festival is held there annually. We visited the park when the hydrangeas were at their peak.

Kasama Inari Shrine & Kasama Crafthills

Kasama Inari Shrine is one of the three largest Inari Okami shrines in Japan, having been awarded the ancient court rank of Senior First Grade. 

According to legends associated with the shrine, it was founded in 651 during the reign of Emperor Kotoku, indicating a history extending over some thirteen centuries.

During the Tokugawa or Edo period, Kasama Inari Shrine received the devoted patronage of the feudal lord of the Kasama Domain, and spread its influence not only through the Kantō region but throughout all of Japan. 

At present, the shrine is visited by more than 3.5 million pilgrims each year.
