Perched on a rocky outcrop jutting into the Pacific Ocean, this red hexagonal hall was designed by Tenshin Okakura, the father of modern Japanese art, as a place for contemplation. The sight of the vermilion architecture harmonizing with the crashing white waves is as beautiful as a traditional painting. Here, you can imagine what the great scholar thought while listening to the tides as he worked to introduce Eastern aesthetics to the world. Experience the unique Japanese sense of beauty where history and natural energy intersect in profound silence.

Kitaibaraki City

Located at the northernmost tip of Ibaraki, this city features a coastline so beautiful it inspired generations of artists. The "Rokkaku-do," a red hexagonal hall perched on the edge of the sea, was a place of meditation for the famous scholar Tenshin Okakura. The city is also the birthplace of "Ankou Nabe" (monkfish hot pot), attracting foodies every winter. Listening to the waves while soaking in a hot spring offers a deep sense of healing for the soul.

Hananuki Gorge

A stunning valley filled with waterfalls and clear streams. The main attraction is a 60-meter-long suspension bridge that becomes a "tunnel of maples" in autumn as the branches reach out from both sides. The sound of the rushing water below and the vibrant reds and oranges above create a meditative and beautiful hiking experience, making it one of the most popular autumn spots in the region.
