Too bad the main gate was covered for repairing. The temple grounds are lovely but I wouldn’t use the word “stunning”. The pond at the end of the grounds with an old tree hanging over it looks pretty magical. Better to go early in the day.

Beautiful and majestic place From web site; Kashima Jingu is a historic shrine founded in the first year of Emperor Jimmu, enshrining Takemikazuchi Omikami, the god of Japan's founding and martial arts.

Kashima Jingu is the most famous shrine in this area. Highest grade of shrine is called “Jingu”. It’s first time for me to visit here. Path in the saint forest impressed me so much because of its atmosphere which is so hard to explain. This shrine is one of the spots I recommend most in Ibaraki prefecture. Don’t miss it!

Relaxing as can be. Nice walking trails around the shrine.

Super Recommend place!! Traditional temple was built in 600BC. Very nice atmosphere. The pond behind (actually go down) from the temple is very perfect. Water is superb.

Extremely beautiful, the atmosphere is serene and reverent. A must if you're ever in the area. (The 団子 at the shrine's restaurant is delicious!)

A religious site for Japanese, calming forest, and nice atmosphere. You can find deers and shop traditional charms things and also foods/beverages.

You get to see where there is a huge rock planted deep to stop awful earthquakes from happening; many shrines to visit; good food restaurants, plenty of parking space areas nearby for about 800 yen; very friendly environment, many people who can speak English to help with tourism.

I love this shrine i visit once a year always felt serene when i am here, just walking around and looking at the old shrines is relaxing, New Year is always crowded there are deers too, not much mini stores around maybe because of the pandemic

A very special place for Japan Budo participants. You will find the scrolls of this Shrine in most Dojo in Japan.

Good architecture stadium

Big stadium. The atmosphere is jamming here. Opponents can easily be intimidated

A good place to watch football but basically it is in the middle of nowhere. Travel by bus from Tokyo Station or by car.

Awsome place to watch a soccer ⚽️ game, go antler

The stands are really close to the pitch

It is difficult to find parking lot close, but there are some options 15 to 20 min walking. It was well organized so we enjoyed the game despite we got in after it already started

Food is very delicious Love Kashima

Excellent place to watch football. All seats have a decent view, even the cheap ones. West seats were out of the direct sun.

(Translated by Google) I visited to observe the 54th National Amateur Soccer Championship. It also served as a rehearsal for the 2019 National Athletic Meet, and the spirit of hospitality was palpable. (Original) 第54回全国社会人サッカー選手権大会の視察で訪れました。2019年の国体リハーサルも兼ねていて、おもてなしの心が伝わって来ました。

(Translated by Google) This is a green park centered on sports facilities. The parking lot is spacious and there is a convenience store right in front of the entrance. There are no play equipment. (Original) スポーツ施設が中心の緑地公園です。駐車場は広く、入口の眼の前にコンビニがあります。遊具はありません。

(Translated by Google) There is an artificial turf field where children often play soccer games. I think the children are very happy because they are blessed with a good environment and can play sports. There are running and walking courses around the area, and even on hot summer days, it's shaded by trees, so it's very cool and you can run or walk. (Original) 人工芝のグラウンドがありいつも子供達がサッカーの試合をしています。環境に恵まれてスポーツが出きるので子供達にとってはとても幸せだと思います。周りにはランニング散歩コースがあり、夏の暑い日でも木陰になっているのでとても涼しく、走ったり歩いたりすることができます。

(Translated by Google) This is a comment about the soccer ground. In preparation for the Ibaraki National Athletic Meet to be held in 2019, the field has been replaced with artificial turf and has become the best ground ever. The ground is the size of two junior courts, and there are seats for spectators, making it easy to see. You can also view the rooftop of the administration building, but it is usually closed to visitors. The toilet can be accessed from the back of the administration building. The parking lot is large and has pavement and gravel. Takamatsu Ryokuchi Park is located a few hundred meters from the Kashima Antlers clubhouse, so we recommend taking a tour there as well. (Original) サッカーグラウンドに対してのコメントです。２０１９年に行われる茨城国体に備え人工芝に張り替え最高のグラウンドになりました。グラウンドの広さはジュニアコート２面分とれ、観覧席もあり見易いです。管理棟の屋上も観覧できるようになってますが、普段は入れないようになってます。トイレは管理棟裏から入れます。駐車場も広くなり舗装と砂利があります。高松緑地公園は鹿島アントラーズのクラブハウスから数百メートルといった所にあるので、そちらの見学もおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) The soccer field has a nice pitch of artificial turf, but there are benches for the general public and the line of sight is low, so it's a little difficult to see the whole thing. The restrooms have been renovated and the clubhouse is also nice. (Original) サッカー場は、人工芝の良いピッチですが、一般席ベンチが有り目線が低いので、少々全体が見え難いです。トイレが一新されクラブハウスもグッド

(Translated by Google) There is a soccer field, tennis court and heated pool. There is a walking course around it, and there are a few people here who enjoy jogging. It's more of a wooded area than a green space. It would be nice to reduce the number of overgrown trees and make the park bright and sunny. (Original) サッカー場、テニスコート、温水プールがあります。その周りにウォーキングコースがあり、ジョギングを楽しむ人がちらほら。緑地というより、むしろ雑木林です。生い茂った木を少し減らして、日のあたる明るい公園になったらいいですね。

(Translated by Google) This is an old sports park. There is a baseball field, heated pool, soccer field (artificial turf), tennis court, ground golf, and running course facilities. All the equipment is well maintained and very easy to use. Of course, the restrooms are clean as well.Also, the prices are low and easy to use. I also recommend walking in the park. The area is full of greenery and will soothe your daily fatigue. There is one dissatisfaction. It's very dark at night. Due to my job, I sometimes use running courses at night, but it's a bit scary because the lighting is dim and there aren't many. I've heard rumors that ghosts come out, so it's even more scary at night. To the government office. Please consider making improvements to improve the safety of nighttime use🐸³₃Thank you. (Original) 昔からある運動公園です。 野球場、温水プール、サッカーグランド(人工芝)、テニスコート、グランドゴルフ、ランニングコース設備が有ります。 どの設備も整備がキチンとされており、非常に使いやすいです。勿論トイレもキレイです💎また、料金も低価格で利用しやすいです。公園内をウォーキングするのもオススメします。緑がいっぱいで日常の疲れが癒されます。 不満点は1つ。夜はとても暗いことです。職業柄、夜にランニングコースを利用する事が有るのですが、照明が暗いし数も多くないのでちょっと怖いです。オバケがでるという噂も聞いた事が有るので夜は余計に怖いです。 役所の方へ。 夜間利用の安全性向上の為、改善の検討をお願いします🐸³₃よろしくお願いします。

(Translated by Google) This park is mainly for ball games and does not have any play equipment, so it is not suitable for small children. The parking lot is large, so you can drive to watch the games. (Original) 球技主体の公園で、遊具がないので、小さいお子さま向けではありません。 駐車場は広いので、観戦には車で大丈夫です。

a bit empty, calm vibes, would be a blast with friends

Came there at night

(Translated by Google) Never let women or children go. The beach house called "Mugiwara" on the left side of the entrance is said to be run by a gangster. The atmosphere is completely different from the beach house on the other side, so if you have a good guess, you can understand it normally. In order to enter the beach, it is very dangerous because you almost always have to pass through it. I was tangled up, yelled at, assaulted, and even come to my house, which made me feel very scared. In the summer, it becomes a gathering place for motorcycle gangs, etc., and there are times when several such motorcycles are parked. I don't know if it's because Kashima City has gang members among its city council members, but the police didn't seem to protect them properly even if they had trouble with them. If you really want to use it, if it's a shop called "Summer Dream" on the right side, I think it's still good because the owner is a decent person who said he has a commercial facility called Moricia in Tsudanuma. There are other beaches nearby, so unless there is a special reason, I don't think it's worth going to a dangerous place. A parking fee of 500 yen will be charged between July 15th and August 16th. Beach area regulation is from 9:00 to 16:00 during the period Postscript: Although the causal relationship is unknown, immediately after the trouble with this beach house "Mugiwara", the key to the front door of my home was stuffed with adhesive. (Original) 女性子供は絶対に行かないで下さい。 入り口左側の「むぎわら」という海の家は暴力団が運営してると言われてる店です。 反対側の海の家とは空気感がまるで違うのでそれなりに察しが良ければ普通に分かるかと思います。 ビーチに入る為にはその前をほぼ必ず通らなければいけないので非常に危険です。 絡まれ怒鳴られて暴行被害にも遭い家にまで来られて非常に怖い思いをしました。 夏は暴走族等の溜まり場になっていてそういうバイクが複数台止まっている事があります。 鹿嶋市は市議会議員に暴力団員が居る為か分かりませんが、彼等とトラブルがあっても警察はちゃんと守ってくれない様子でした。 どうしても利用するのであれば右側にある確か「サマードリーム」というお店であれば、津田沼のモリシアという商業施設を持ってると言ってたまともな方がオーナーですのでまだ良いかと思います。 近くに他の海水浴場もちょこちょこありますので特別な理由が無い限り、現状わざわざ危険な場所に行く価値は無いかと思います。 7/15～8/16日の期間は駐車料金500円取られます。 海水浴場エリア規制は期間中の9:00～16:00です 追記:因果関係は不明ではありますが、この海の家「むぎわら」とのトラブルの直後、自宅の玄関の鍵に接着剤が詰められる被害に遭いました。

amazing

Beautiful beach

beautiful!

(Translated by Google) The sandy beach was gentle and beautiful with people reflecting in it. (Original) 砂浜がなだらかで人が反射してきれいな砂浜でした

(Translated by Google) It's a very good environment! It's such a nice and quiet place that I don't want to tell you too much about it! There are also two summer houses in Imami, and the staff are friendly and make you feel comfortable! The lifeguards will also give detailed explanations. It’s really amazing 👍! (Original) とても良い環境です！あまり教えたく無い程、静かで良い場所です！ 夏の今海の家も2軒あり、優しいスタッフさん達で感じ良し！ ライフガードの皆さんも、丁寧に説明していただける。 本当素晴らしいですね👍！

(Translated by Google) The sea is relatively calm and shallow for the Pacific coast. Preschool children enjoyed it. I think it's also suitable for couples and couples. There are a lot of surfers. (Original) 太平洋岸にしては比較的穏やかな遠浅の海。 就学前の子どもたちが楽しんでくれました。 夫婦、カップルデートにも向いてると思います。 サーファーさんが多いですね。

(Translated by Google) It was a place that was often posted on Instagram's scenic photos, so I visited it in January 2023 when I visited Kashima Jingu. It was a popular spot, so there were many people and there was no silence. However, the pure spring water pond, the torii gate and fence in the pond, and the old tree that was about to fall in the pond gave me power. Next time, I would like to visit you when the greenery is fresh. (Original) Instagramの絶景写真にちょくちょく投稿されている場所だったので、2023年の1月に、鹿島神宮に詣でた際に訪れました。 人気スポットでしたので人出は多く、静寂さはなかったです。でも、清らかな湧水池と、池内の鳥居や柵、池内に倒れかかった老木により、パワーはいただきました。 次は、新緑の頃に是非伺いたいです。

Cool and natural pond with Water God Torii ⛩️

(Translated by Google) It is a sanctuary where the heavens and the earth of the sanctuary are blessed. It is a place for rituals to cleanse the mind and body before entering an important Shinto ritual. The priests are secretly devoted to their devotion, but we also wanted to touch Shimizu here to purify ourselves and worship as much as possible. (Original) 神域の天地の恵み出る聖所です。大切な神事に入る前に心身の穢れを清める斎事の場所です。神官の皆さんは、人知れず精進潔斎されますが、私たちもここの清水に触れて少しでも身と心を清め参拝したいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) Although spring water poured into Mitarai Pond continuously, the water level in the pool did not change. There are fish in the pond, swim leisurely in it. (Original) 御手洗池雖然不斷有泉水湧入，但池中水位未見變化。池中有魚，悠遊其中。

Beautiful and majestic place

(Translated by Google) One of the Kashima Seven Wonders Mitarai: The depth of the pond is said to be no more than milk, regardless of whether it is an adult or a dwarf. Go down the steep stairs in front of Okumiya. The difference in elevation is a little disconcerting. You can take home the holy water that springs up. The shop next door sells plastic bottles for take-out. A ladle and a funnel are prepared. There is a sign telling you to boil it. (Original) 鹿嶋七不思議のひとつ 御手洗：池の深さ大人 小人によらず乳を過ぎずという 奥宮の前から急な階段を下ります。ちょっとへこたれる高低差です。 こんこんと湧き出る御神水は、持ち帰ることができます。隣の売店で持ち帰り用のペ；ツトボトルを販売しています。ひしゃくと漏斗が準備されています。 煮沸してくださいとの掲示があります。

(Translated by Google) In the olden days, people used to pray here after purifying themselves. Now I'm going to enter from Omotesando, so I'll be here after visiting the shrine. The pond is filled with spring water, and the spring water flows out in the back. It is very cold and pleasant. This spring water can be taken home. (Original) 昔はここで、清めてから参拝をしたそうです。 今はどうしても表参道から入ってしますので、コチラには参拝後になってしまいますね。 池は湧水で満たされており、奥にはその湧き水が出ております。とても冷たく気持ちが良いです。 この湧水は持ち帰りもできるそうです。

I felt peaceful just by sitting on the bench doing nothing. Sacred, quite, the smell of the forest, singing birds made me want to stay longer and even meditate.

(Translated by Google) It is a pond where purification is also performed with spring water. At the back of the pond, water could be drawn freely. The sight of the torii gate in the middle of a clear pond and the tree with its large branches leaning against it was mysterious. There are also large carp swimming in the pond. (Original) 湧水で禊も行われる池です。池の奥では自由に水を汲めるようになっていました。 澄み切った池の中に建つ鳥居と、そこにもたれかかるように大きな枝を伸ばす木の姿が神秘的でした。 池の中には大きな鯉も泳いでいます。

(Translated by Google) You can take spring water home with you, but there was a warning that you must boil it before using it! The way the sacred trees grow is amazing! If you go from Okumiya, it is paved, but you have to go down a steep slope, so if you have weak legs, it is better not to go there. . , (Original) 湧き水を持って帰ることができますが、使用の際は必ず煮沸してくださいと注意書きがありました！ 御神木の生え方がすごいです！ 奥宮から行くと舗装はされてますが急な坂を降りなければならず、足腰弱い方は行かない方がいいと思います。。、

(Translated by Google) It is called ``Mitarashi Pond'' and is located quietly on the grounds of the shrine grounds of Kashima Shrine. There were carp swimming in the pond, and the water was very clear and beautiful! In ancient times, people used to purify themselves in this pond before visiting the shrine, and the name of the pond comes from the remnants of this ritual. There is a place to collect water from a pond nearby, and you can put it in a plastic bottle and take it home. By the way, the soba soup served at a nearby tea shop was made with spring water from Mitarai Pond, and it was not too thin or too thick, allowing you to fully enjoy the taste of the spring water, and it was very clear and delicious. (Original) 鹿島神宮敷の参道を行った敷地内にひっそりとあり「みたらしの池」と呼びます。 池の中は鯉が泳いでおり水の透明度が高く澄んでいてとても綺麗でした！ 大昔はこの池で身を清めてから参拝してたらしく、池の名前はその名残りからきているそうです。 近くに池から湧き出る水くみ場がありペットボトルに入れて持ち帰れます。 ちなみに近くのお茶屋さんで出しているお蕎麦のツユは御手洗池の湧き水で作られ、薄くもなく濃くもなく湧き水の味をしっかり堪能でき透明感が溢れていて大変美味しかっつたです。

(Translated by Google) If you go down to the left from Okumiya, A pure spring of spiritual springs There is Mitarai Pond. More than 400,000 liters per day It is said that water gushes out. Located at the entrance of Old Omotesando, as its name suggests, In the past, people used to perform purification here to purify their mind and body. Apparently he was visiting the shrine. probably, Those who washed ashore at Fudarakutokai, Wash the dirt on your body with the fresh water here, to live in a new place I think I've made a decision. In the age of the gods, water sprang up overnight, Even in drought, it never dries up. If both adults and children enter The water surface comes around my chest There is a strange legend. Enjoy Kashima-sama's good luck with the sacred water. A place where you can relax and unwind. After visiting the main shrine and receiving good luck and determination, Take a leisurely look at Mitarai Pond When you calm down Your interpersonal problems will be blown away. (Original) 奥宮から左に下りると、 霊泉の湧く清らかな泉 御手洗池があります。 1日に40万リットル以上の 水が湧くといわれています。 旧表参道の入口にあり、 その名の通り、 昔はここで禊をして心身を清めてから 参拝をしていたそうです。 おそらく、 補陀落渡海で流れ着いた人たちは、 ここの真水で身体の汚れを洗い清め、 新天地で暮らすことを 決意したのだと思います。 神代に一夜にして湧水し、 かんばつでも決して涸れない、 大人でも子供でも入ったら 水面が胸の辺りにくる という不思議な言い伝えがあります。 ご霊水で鹿島さまの運気をいただき ゆったり気持ちを落ち着ける場所。 本殿参拝で決断力と勝負運をいただいた後に、 御手洗池をゆったり眺めて 気持ちを落ち着けると 人間関係の悩みが吹き飛びますよ。

(Translated by Google) Parking is free from here (about 15 cars?), so I use it often. Some people were pumping spring water from the back of the pond into a tank. When I first saw it, I felt something strange about it, as it is a pond of this size and has high transparency (thanks to the spring water). It was after sunset on Sunday, so I went during the day on Monday as well (lol). It's about 500m to the main shrine, and after passing the teahouse, you have to climb a concrete slope, so if you have bad knees, you can go down on the way home. I think you need to be careful about (Original) こちらからだと駐車場が無料（15台位？）なのでよく利用しています。池の奥側の湧水をタンクに汲んでいる方もいらっしゃいましたね。この大きさの池で（湧水のおかげで）透明度が高いので初めて見たときは何だか不思議な感じがしました。日曜日は日没後になってしまったので、月曜日も日中に行きました（笑）本殿まで500m程あり、茶屋を過ぎるとコンクリート製スロープの登りになるので、膝の悪い方は帰る時の下りに注意が必要だと思います
