Oarai

With its coastal location, Oarai is most famous for fresh seafood, from sashimi to billfish nuggets to anglerfish hot pot. And it's not just saltwater fish - with Lake Hinuma right next door you can also enjoy freshwater shellfish.

If fish isn't for you don't worry - Oarai has the most restaurants per person in Ibaraki Prefecture so there's something for everyone, from an 150 year-old sake brewery to Japan's first speciality plum cafe.
