Ekiben (eki-ben) are boxed meals sold at train stations and on trains in Japan. The word combines "eki" (station) and "bento" (lunch box).

We bought the "Shinkansen-designed ekiben", these are novelty train-station lunchboxes shaped like Japanese bullet trains.

They feature popular models, packed with kid-friendly foods like chicken rice, sausages, and fried chicken, and serve as reusable souvenirs after you finish eating.

Horide Shrine and Hoshiimo Shrine are on a hill with a beautiful view of Ajigaura Beach.

In 2019, Hoshiimo Shrine was newly built on the grounds of Horide Shrine. Ibaraki Prefecture ranks the highest in production volume for hoshi-imo (dried sweet potatoes) in Japan.

Hoshiimo Shrine features beautiful golden torii gates lined up in two rows, making it a popular photogenic spot.
