The Oarai Maritime Fireworks Festival, held on the Oarai coast in Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of Japan's largest fireworks events, with approximately 20,000 fireworks illuminating the night sky and sea. Produced entirely by Nomura Fireworks Industry, Japan's top fireworks company, the festival boasts a breathtaking scale, with massive fireworks reaching approximately 500 meters in diameter launched one after another from the unobstructed sea. In addition to its beautiful seaside location, the festival also offers gourmet food and stage events, making it a popular tourist event where you can enjoy a special autumn day.
The green kochia plants at Hitachi Seaside Park are a popular sight, especially in the summer. The fluffy, round kochia plants spread across the Miharashi Hill (Miharashi no Oka), turning a vibrant lime green, creating a beautiful and soothing landscape against the blue sky. From late September to early October, the plants gradually change color from their summer green to red, creating a daily gradient of green and red hues.
Mentai Park Oarai is a theme park specializing in mentaiko (spicy cod roe), operated by the long-established mentaiko company "Kanefuku." Visitors can take a factory tour to see the manufacturing process up close, enjoy a food corner where they can sample freshly made mentaiko, and visit a direct sales store offering limited-edition products. It is a popular tourist spot where people of all ages can easily stop by and experience the charm of food, making it a favorite among many travelers.
