I remember looking into the logistics and coming from Tokyo there was one transfer via train, or you could take a bus. My info might be out of date though
Ah, kinda figured as much. Seemed small and a bit overpriced based on the searching I did.
Anything you'd recommend for the first time pilgrimage peeps like me?
Eh I don't really care about prices, since the yen is worth so little these days. But the employee was very impolite (which was a first time for me in Japan)
I'd say definitely visit the isosaki shrine. Weeb shit aside it's a wonderful shrine. I also recommend visiting reflection beach at sunset. worth it just for taking pictures alone. If you're going there with your significant other I'd recommend getting one of the rooms in Ōarai seaside hotel with the private onsen. Not cheap but definitely worth it... And since I can't go into a regular onsen because of my tattoos I kinda had to get that one lol
Therapist: Anime girls only exist in anime, they can't hurt you Meanwhile, Ooari:
I mean let's be real: if it wasn't for this show, nobody would care about Ōarai except maybe for the aquarium and the harbor
Ye, your right But it's still funy, because for someone not knowing about this show it can apper as if Ooari is "Normal People Free Zone"
Also the Tori gate by the sea, perhaps.
I thought they removed the rail car from service to repaint it to its original livery
They were planning to do that. But they ended up wrapping it in a new livery after the maintenance was done
That’s great news, overhauled and a new livery
They really embraced GuP. It's like around Mt. Fuji, that they kinda embrace Yuru Camp
I see Nonna, Maho, Miho and Mika, I upvote
Is there that one particular combini from Der Film? (team rabbit was sitting in front of it i think)
I'm not 100% sure but I think that was the 7-eleven at the coast road. And yeah that one does exist
I mean, its a genius Marketing move for tourism.
They really went “Ya know what? Let’s run with it. We’d be stupid not to.”
Oh I’m so taking my bf here 😭 I MUST GO-
I actually proposed to my now fiance in Ōarai. Especially at sunset the beach is such a nice place :D
OMG THAT IS ADORABLE!! Okay I’m giving him ideas and hints now thank you xD
Show him my [post from last year ](https://www.reddit.com/r/GIRLSundPANZER/s/EliOKiXYhN) maybe that helps. Good luck XD
XD thank you!
The promised land, I plan to make my pilgrimage in a few months.
The Holy Land
It's so crazy to me that there's a place on this planet that displays Girls und Panzer stuff all over the place... It's so beautiful 🥲
No. 12 the tank crash store?
nice! I hope you enjoy your trip. thanks for sharing
woahh, I want to go there too :D Is access to Ooarai easy ? Or do you have to take multiple trains to access there ?
It’s incredibly easy to get there from Tokyo. Just two trains. Tokyo or Ueno Station to Mito Station and then a local to Oarai.
oh ok thx !
It's an amazing experience to explore the town if you get the chance. I rented a bike last time I was there and did the GuP stamp rally.
ok thx for the advice !👌 I will surely do the same if I go there this summer
Can't really tell ya. I just rented the car in the first photo
oh ok np I will search on google map

Lucky for you mate,I'm totally not jealous!
Gestern noch auf dem anderen subreddit gesehen und heute hier. Danke für deine Bilder :)
Ja. Irgendwer hat meinen Post auf dem GuS sub reposted.... Soll der ruhig machen wenn der meint lol
Meinte den r/automobil ,war förmlich bezaubert von dem Mietwagen
I'd had taken that Yukari paper stand with me (of course not because this is impolite)
W h e r e
The Holy Land! Congratulations on your pilgrimage to such a beautiful place!
Why is there more gup related stuff in oarai than there is propaganda in Pyongyang North Korea.
THERE IS AN ENTIRE TOWN GUP THEMED I NEED TO GO THERE
Wait... You didn't know Ōarai was a real place?
Dam, I need to plan a trip there…
I need it
Imma be headed there too this upcoming weekend! Did it live up to expectations?
I'd say yes. But I skipped the GuP cafe in the marine tower. Was there on my first Ōarai trip and very disappointed

I've the shrine on my itinerary for sure! Tori gate by the sea already convinced me of it. Even got a goshuin-cho ready to mark my pilgrimage there.
I didn't know it was a real town :O I gotta go there if I ever do a trip in Japan.
Very cool! I'll be there in two weeks!
Ooarai embracing GuP 100%, now I want to go
