    Ibaraki Pref. Higashibarakigunoaraimachi Minatochuou 10
    This 60-meter-tall symbolic tower in Oarai Town, Higashiibaraki County, Ibaraki Prefecture was opened in 1988. At 55 meters above ground, the observatory deck offers you a grand panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, Nikko Nasu Mountains, Mt. Tsukuba, and Mt. Fuji. The tower interior includes souvenir shops, a marine theater, and a cafe themed on “Girls und Panzer” —an anime set in Oarai.

    駐車場は無料、入場料は３４０円。高さは６０メートルしかないが、周りに高い建物がないのでぐるっとビュー。 訪問した日は天気が良かったのだが、訪問時間が午後２時頃、太陽の光が海に反射しまぶしい！ なので海方向のきれいな景色、キラキラまぶしく観賞できなかった。 天気の良いのも善し悪しなのだなと。
