    This shine is really so nice. The view of the shrine is so amazing. We went here in the afternoon so it is still low tide. Thats why we got the chance to see the full view of the shrine standing on the sea rocks. We took pictures here. We also sit on the rocks cause it felt warm. I think its nice to watch the sunset here really. Love it

    I went there for hatsuhinode (first sunrise of the year) and the conditions were spectacular. This torii has an amazing potential for photography.

    It takes 20-ish min from the aquarium by walking. Recommended that you use a 70-200 mm lens.

    The shrine is on a hill near the coast of Oarai town. There are three torii gates on approach to the shrine. One of the torii gates stands on the rugged coastline facing the ocean while waves crash around the gate. The name of this gate is Kamiiso-no-Torii, and represents the place where the gods landed.

    You can camp out in the nearby park and if you wake up early enough you can see the sun rise through this tori, and it is beautiful

    The weather was nice☀️

  • 5/5 Caitlin M. 1 year ago on Google • 192 reviews
    Cool torii gate in the ocean. The views are probably better early or late late in the day. We went around 2 and it was nice, but not amazing. The shrine is also nice but small.

  • 5/5 プラプラPrapulla 1 year ago on Google • 167 reviews
    The view of the Tori gate is really amazing during the sunset and sunrise. The high waves in the rocky beach adds on to the beauty of the Tori gate. Just below the Shinto shrine we can enjoy the awesome view of the beach and the Tori gate. One should be careful if wishing to play in the beach as it’s fully rock with high waves. It’s just amazing to enjoy the view from the shore and to relax.

  • 5/5 Chiefmate 2 months ago on Google • 129 reviews New
    Very calming and picturesque area. Watching the ebb and flow of the waves gently hitting shore, I imagine spending a whole morning or afternoon just soaking in the scene/atmosphere of this place. Also nice to go for a slow, romantic walk on the beach.

  • 5/5 林環樹 3 weeks ago on Google • 107 reviews New
    This shrine is the busiest on New Year's Day at sunrise. The sun 🌅 rises in the middle of the torii ⛩ and you can see a very beautiful 🌅 🙏

  • 5/5 nassa f. 2 months ago on Google • 100 reviews New
    Such a wonderful early morning, Highly recommend. For welcoming 2024, we have drove there and seen the amazing sunrise. Load of people were there to wait and catch the miracle moment by cameras.

  • 4/5 - Y. 1 month ago on Google • 99 reviews New
    Scenic view and nice place to walk at the coast. You can park at the free parking lot next to the coast or at the shrine and walk down to the beach (also free of charge).

  • 5/5 Martin Z. 4 months ago on Google • 98 reviews
    One of the most famous sunrise spots. Better to arrive earlier so you can get a better position as there are so many photographers. Free parking available nearby. Weather is important literally so do check the forecast prior to visit.

  • 4/5 akira 2 weeks ago on Google • 69 reviews New
    Torii gates on the sea are fantastic, and there are many places with torii gates on the sea all over the world, so if you have the chance, I'd like to see them all. It seems to be a popular place as some people were taking many pictures with their cameras. It seems that the collaboration with Asahi is famous. As expected, I can't come in the morning because it's far away lol

  • 4/5 Sayantani M. 4 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    Small place for nice photos and dreamy sunsets. You cannot go to the Tori gate but still take good photos.

  • 5/5 Watcharawich J. 1 year ago on Google • 34 reviews
    A must visit place in this area. I have seen reviews about Sunrise being a great scenery worth seeing, but sadly, it was cloudy in the morning that I visited. Overall, it is still a spectacular view.

  • 5/5 Kwek Hong Wei, B. 9 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Torii gate facing the pacific ocean and famous place for the first sunrise of the year. It has a shrine nearby for people to hatsumode (first prayer for the year) to ask for wishes and the gate there is clearly visible during low tide and high tide makes it looks like floating. Visitors are not allowed to go down to the rock formations

    Both the temple grounds and the nearby sea are nice.

    (Translated by Google) It felt like watching a movie scene. Looking at the notice, I wondered where the penalty was. (Original) 映画のワンシーンを見ているような感じになりました。注意書を見て、罰当たりは、何処にもいるのかとも思いました。

  • 5/5 オージュン 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The sunrise is beautiful anyway. One of the private beloved spots I feel surprisingly far from Mito city If you want to relax and see the morning sun, go to a nearby hotel It might be nice to stay. (Original) 朝焼けがとにかくきれいです。 私的百聞スポットの一つです 水戸市から意外と離れてる感じがするので ゆったりと朝日が見たい方は近くのホテルに 宿泊するのがいいかもです。

    (Translated by Google) Sunrise, February 23, 2020, at 6:17 am. Arrival 30 minutes ago. Car parked at Oarai Isozen Shrine. Wait at the beach. Unfortunately, the sunrise was out of alignment, so I went to the sand and took a picture. I was scolded from the expected gallery, but I took it. Although it looked small on a smartphone, it was actually large and beautiful. (Original) 2020年2月23日、午前6時17分、日の出。到着は30分前。車は、大洗磯前神社に駐車。浜に下りて待機。あいにくサンライズがズレてしまったので、邪魔は承知で砂地まで行って撮影。案の定ギャラリーから叱られるが撮りました。スマホでは小さく見えますが、実際には大きく、綺麗でした。

    (Translated by Google) I love the natural strength of the Pacific storm and the mysterious space of the torii. It is a place that makes you feel something that attracts people. (Original) 太平洋の荒波の自然の力強さと鳥居の神秘的な空間は大好きです。なにか人を惹きつけるものを感じさせてくれる場所です。

    Really nice sunrise spot!

  • 4/5 J J. 4 years ago on Google
    Unlike most Toriis that's made out of wood, this is made out of concrete it seems. I wouldn't say this is a must-visit location but it is definitely worthwhile to drive by and have a look if you're doing a road trip in the area. Parking is free at the shrine. I was there during midday, but it seems that it will be much nicer to go during sunrise or sunset for amazing views. There's also an anime that's based on this location called the "Girls und Panzer". So meanwhile you're spending time in this area, you can also check out the nearby locations that have been featured in the anime. Also, this is a good place to spend time on the beach if the weather is good. So, might be a good idea to bring along a picnic mat!

  • 3/5 Jin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Simple yet very nice place.. I had the chance to passed by the area. 🤙🤎😎

  • 5/5 Hellen P. 1 year ago on Google
    It's really comfortable and peaceful when listening to the waves of the sea

  • 4/5 jerome de l. 1 year ago on Google
    The beach is clean (not itchy) and has strong waves.

  • 5/5 神父尊慰安 1 year ago on Google
    When foreigners see video and images of Japan, the gates at Hiroshima often come to mind. However Hiroshima is quite far from Kanto. We have the amazing Torii gate in Oarai. In close proximity to the fantastic Isozaki Shrine and a rather nice beach this place can be a good place to enjoy some rest and relaxation any time of the year. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

  • 5/5 Uhaan 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my I wanted to come here for such a long time but the pictures I got what just so so. You really need a tripod to take nice photos here. The view was stunning.

  • 5/5 LW K. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful scene of the Torii gate and ocean. There are a few hotels around the area but mostly quiet during autumn period. Weather was cold from sea breeze. Traveling there took a while. Need to take care of the bus direction and timing when traveling back from there to Mito station.

    A pure white torii gate standing on a rocky area facing the Pacific Ocean⛩️ The sight of the rough waves crashing against us was truly impressive ❗️

    (Translated by Google) Speaking of Oarai, Isozen Shrine will soon come out within me! Isozen Shrine seems to be a holy land for Garupan, there are many Garuman votive tablets, and there is a torii on the sea, which is quite mysterious and worth seeing. I often come at night, and on a clear day, the beautiful starry sky and the torii gate on the sea are a perfect match and it's so beautiful! It is recommended to go at night as well as day! If you go by car, there is a free parking lot next to the shrine! (Original) 大洗と言えば自分の中で磯前神社がすぐに出てきます! 磯前神社はガルパンの聖地らしく、ガルパンの絵馬などが沢山あります、海の上にも鳥居がありかなり神秘的で見応えがあります。 自分は夜来ることが多く晴れた日には綺麗な星空と海の上の鳥居がかなりマッチしてかなり美しいです! 昼だけではなく夜行くのもおすすめです! 車で行く方は神社横に無料の駐車場があります!

    (Translated by Google) I think I could have been near the torii before. Impression and excitement will be especially striking as you follow the beach, which has become a hot battle scene in the movie version. Now that I have an accident, I just look at it from a distance, but is it dedicated? There is a deck of, so I had a great view there. It is a good place because it is easy to shoot. The waves were high and white waves were standing on this day. There was a feeling of dynamism, and I always felt a more energetic power spot. I haven't been able to see it yet, but the photos of sunrise are so sacred that I would like to spend some nights watching it. (Original) 以前は鳥居の近くにも行けたと思います。 劇場版で熱いバトルの舞台になった浜辺を辿って来ると感動と興奮が一際昂ります。 事故があったりして今は遠くから眺めるだけですが、専用?のデッキが有るのでそこで絶景を拝めました。撮影も行い易いので良い場所です。 この日は波が高く白波が立っていました。躍動感があり、何時もよりエネルギッシュなパワースポットに感じました。 まだ見ることは叶ってないですが、日の出の写真がとても神聖な雰囲気なので何時かは泊まりがけで観たいものです。

  • 3/5 NO B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It looks big in the picture, but when I look at it, it looks small like the first picture. Don't go near the torii gate. Because it is supposed to be the land where God descended. It is better not to go after imagining Itsukushima Shrine. (Original) 写真で見ると大きそうなのに、実際見ると最初の写真みたいに小さく見える。鳥居のそばにはいけない。神の降り立った地とさせれているからだ。 厳島神社を想像してから行かない方が良い。

    (Translated by Google) After visiting the Oarai Isomae Shrine, to go to the Torii of Kamiiso, go down the stairs of the small torii gate in front of Zuijinmon! At the bottom of the stairs is the big torii gate! What a torii gate, if you go by car, will pass before you arrive at the parking lot... ? Crossing the traffic light in front of Nino Torii and heading out to the shore... "Kamiiso Torii of the Kamiiso" is standing on the rock! In front of Kamiiso's torii gate, I was able to firmly imagine the festival god walking along the path of light in the sea! Next time, I'll come at dusk on a sunny day! (Original) 大洗磯前神社で参拝を済ませてから、神磯の鳥居へ行くには、随神門の前方にある小さめの鳥居の階段を下りて行きます! 階段を下りた所にあるのが大きな二の鳥居! 何と一の鳥居は、車で行った場合は駐車場に到着する前に通過しちゃいます・・・・・? 二の鳥居の前の信号を渡り、海岸に出ると・・・・・「神来る神磯の鳥居」が岩場に立っていました! 神磯の鳥居を前にすると、海の中の光の道を歩いてくるご祭神をしっかり想像することが出来ました! 今度は、天気の良い日の夕暮れ時に来てみます!
