The Hitachinaka Energy Logitec Oarai Marine Tower is a 60-meter-tall observation tower located in Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. This seaside tower boasts an observation deck offering breathtaking panoramic views of Oarai Port and the Pacific Ocean. On a clear day, you can even see distant mountains such as Mount Fuji, the Nikko and Nasu mountain ranges, and Mount Tsukuba.
