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. Sunset is particularly spectacular, with the Pacific Ocean and sky blending into a breathtaking gradient of colors that will leave you mesmerized. At night, the cityscape of Oarai and the distant fishing lights on the Pacific create a magical and enchanting nightscape. The townscape viewed from the observation deck offers a different charm from daytime, with a distinct sense of tranquility. Around the Marine Tower, you'll find various leisure spots such as Oarai Sun Beach and Oarai Seaside Park, perfect for swimming, clam digging, and other activities.
