Excursão de um dia ao Santuário Oarai Isosaki e ao Parque Costeiro Hitachi em Tóquio

J'ai participé à plusieurs visites étiquetées « petit groupe », mais elles finissent souvent par être plus grandes que prévu, mais celle-ci a vraiment tenu ses promesses. Le groupe était vraiment petit, ce qui a rendu toute l'expérience plus détendue et agréable. Nous avons visité trois sites, et j'ai vraiment apprécié la liberté que le guide nous a donnée d'explorer chaque endroit à notre propre rythme. En tant que voyageur solo, j'ai adoré pouvoir me promener et découvrir des choses par moi-même tout en recevant des recommandations utiles du guide sur les endroits où aller. Un conseil : assurez-vous de consulter le calendrier des fleurs du parc Hitachi Seaside avant de réserver, car différentes fleurs fleurissent tout au long de l'année. J'espérais voir les nemophilas, mais lors de ma visite, seules les jonquilles étaient en fleurs, ce qui était tout de même magnifique à leur manière. Dans l'ensemble, c'est une excellente visite si vous appréciez un équilibre entre encadrement et indépendance. Je la recommande vivement, surtout aux voyageurs solos qui apprécient la flexibilité.

This was such a beautiful day! I've been meaning to visit Ibaraki prefecture for a while and this was the perfect way to see several things at once at a relaxed pace. The fish market and shrine were even better than expected, I ate very well.

Although I participated alone, there were many photogenic spots. The sushi restaurant, where you can eat freshly caught seafood, was unbelievably delicious for a conveyor belt sushi place! Above all, the prices were incredibly reasonable. The fatty tuna was so thick it overflowed from my mouth, yet it melted instantly. I can't believe I ate 14 pieces, including sea urchin and salmon roe, until I was full, and it cost less than ¥2700. Our Chinese guide, Chou, was an excellent driver and spoke both Japanese and English. At Hitachi Seaside Park, there was an adjacent shopping mall, and he kindly accommodated my selfish request to do some shopping. I was very satisfied with the tour, as I also received information about other tourist spots during the journey. I absolutely recommend it!!

Although it was cloudy and rainy on the day of the tour, all planned activities were completed smoothly. The tour itinerary already included must-visit attractions in Ibaraki Prefecture, such as Oarai Isosaki Shrine (torii gate on the coast), Nakaminato Fish Market, and Hitachi Seaside Park (October: Kochia/Bassia scoparia). For a one-day tour, three attractions were just right; the pace was not too rushed, allowing ample time for photos. Especially since the weather had just turned cooler, about 70% of the Kochia had turned red, and we also encountered ginkgo trees just starting to turn yellow and maple trees turning red. This made up for the regret of not being able to see the autumn leaves and ginkgo in late autumn this year. Our tour leader, Ms. Fung, was very responsible, enthusiastically introducing the characteristics and history of Ibaraki Prefecture on the bus, and her Chinese and English translations were very detailed, which is commendable. The driver was a handsome young man, very warm, hospitable, and polite. He reminded guests to pay attention to safety and check their belongings and luggage every time they got on and off the bus, performing admirably. I highly recommend this tour.

Yoyo is a responsible guide. We had a great time at the seafood market and enjoyed the delicious seafood. At Hitachi Seaside Park, we saw the seasonal Kochia flowers, which are only in bloom from mid-October to mid-November.

Amazing itinerary, the locations are great, all panoramic, especially the Hitachi Seaside Park - red kochias is totally out of this world and the temple/tori gate near the ocean is also amazing. The duration for each location is just right, not rushed, although there’s a bit of delay and change of schedule, it's still a memorable tour. Thanks to our guide Bob for being helpful, he did everything to make his customers happy.

It was such a varied day tour and worth the time and money! I got to see the shrine with Pacific Ocean view and pebble beach, then a bustling fish market with dried seafood stuffs to buy home, and the freshest sushi and best raw oysters ever! (must eat)!! After that a great walk in the huge garden with so many beautiful flowers and overlooking the pacific! the Kochia (burning bush) still looks cute n beautiful despite off season! The driver is professional and safe! My guide YangYang is friendly, organised, gave good advice, clear instructions/guidance!

It was nice to see the Oarai shrine at coastal sea, and visit to fish market was interesting with queues for fresh oysters. Hitachi seasode park is big and hosts many different flowers blooms at different time od the year.

Es war ein entspannender Tag mit unserem Reiseleiter Kai. Er war sehr nett. Mein Lieblingsteil dieser Reise war definitiv der Fischmarkt. Die riesige frische Auster war köstlich. Es ist gerade die letzte Maiwoche, die Blumen im Park waren nicht allzu aufregend, aber es gab immer noch einige schöne Rosen und andere kleine Blumen zu sehen. Der Schrein war cool. Es war interessant, einen japanischen Strand zu sehen.

We weren't able to see the flowers because the park was already clearing them out at that time, but we were able to enjoy the cycling course instead.
