Horiide Shrine, located just a 2-minute walk from Ajigaura Station on the Hitachinaka Seaside Railway, offers a serene escape. This small shrine, established in the late 17th century, is known for housing a sacred mirror donated by Lord Mitsukuni of the Mito Domain. Adjacent to the shrine is the popular Hoshiimo (dried sweet potato) Shrine, established in 2019, which is said to grant wishes for anything you desire. Visitors can explore the unique yin-yang sacred trees and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. With free parking available and its proximity to Ajigaura Beach and hot springs, Horiide Shrine is a worthwhile stop for travelers.
