This massive industrial hub represents the strength of modern Japan. While its grand scale is impressive by day, it transforms into a futuristic cityscape after dark. Thousands of lights illuminate the intricate pipelines and chimneys, creating a scene like a sci-fi movie. A boat tour allows you to view these glowing mechanical cathedrals from the sea for a truly unique experience.

Itako City
Ibaraki

Itako City

Itako is a romantic "water city" filled with nostalgic canal-side charm. In early summer, millions of irises bloom, and the traditional "Bridal Boat" ceremony—where a bride in traditional dress is rowed across the river—is a quintessential Japanese sight. You can enjoy a leisurely ride on a hand-prowed "Ro-bune" boat to see the town from the water. With old sake breweries and senbei (rice cracker) shops, Itako offers a peaceful stroll through Japan's watery past.

Itako Gion Festival

Itako Gion Festival

A vibrant festival with over 800 years of history, held in a charming riverside town. Fourteen massive floats topped with giant historical figures are paraded through the streets to the rhythm of traditional music. The energy is infectious, especially at night when lanterns light up the floats. It is a powerful way to experience the living traditions and communal spirit of rural Japan.
