[Summer 2026] 12 Recommended Accommodations within Walking Distance to the Beaches of Ibaraki Hitachinaka and Oarai | Ajigaura, Hiraiso, Oarai Sun Beach|||We have carefully selected accommodations that are within walking distance to the three beaches: Ajigaura, Hiraiso, and Oarai Sun Beach. From ocean-view ryokans to private villas and glamping options, we introduce 12 places where you can walk to the sea in your swimsuit.|||Please check the details of each facility.|||When is the beach season?|||Typically, the beach season runs from mid-July to late August (2025 data: Ajigaura and Hiraiso from July 19 to August 24, Oarai Sun Beach from July 19 to August 17). Please check the official websites of the local tourism associations for the official schedule for 2026.|||Which beach is the most recommended for families with children?|||Hiraiso Beach is the best choice. It is surrounded by a breakwater, making the waves very gentle, and the "Whale Dai-chan" (whale-shaped slide) in the water is very popular among kids. It's perfect for little ones making their debut at the beach.|||What other attractions can be enjoyed besides swimming?|||In the Ajigaura area, you can visit the National Hitachi Seaside Park (where the greenery of Kochia is at its best in summer), in the Hiraiso area, enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at Nakaminato Fish Market, and in the Oarai area, we recommend Aqua World Ibaraki Prefectural Oarai Aquarium and Oarai Isosaki Shrine.|||How to access from Tokyo?|||By car, it takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours via the Joban Expressway. By train, take the JR Joban Line Limited Express "Hitachi" from Ueno Station to Katsuta Station (about 70 minutes), then transfer to the Hitachinaka Seaside Railway to reach each beach.|||What times are parking lots crowded?|||On summer weekends, it starts getting crowded around 9 AM. For Ajigaura (about 200 cars) and Hiraiso (about 100 cars), it's recommended to arrive early. Oarai Sun Beach has a large parking lot for about 7,000 cars, so there is relatively more space available.|||Are there accommodations that allow pets?|||Yes. Tsuruya Hotel (Ajigaura, for medium-sized dogs), Hiraiso Garden Villa (Hiraiso, up to two small dogs), Shalom (Hiraiso, for medium-sized dogs), and Sugar Beach Oarai (Oarai, with dedicated tents for dogs and cats) are pet-friendly. 宿泊
