Tips

Approximately 15 minutes by car from Hitachi Seaside Park (国営ひたち海浜公園). Parking lots get crowded on weekends and holidays, so arriving early is recommended. Some shops accept cash only, so having small change on hand is convenient. The next destination, Ajigaura Coast (阿字ヶ浦海岸), is approximately 10 minutes by car.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour required. Early afternoon hours see less crowding at the vendors' stalls.
