Insider tip — Chojagayatsu Onsen, the rich man valley spring, serves Hitachinaka City beside the Pacific coast of Ibaraki where the Ajigaura beach resort has attracted summer visitors since the Meiji era. Nearby Oarai port is the epicentre of Japan anko (monkfish) cuisine, and the winter anko hot pot season from November to March draws food pilgrims from Tokyo to taste the legendary seven-tool dish of monkfish liver, roe, and flesh.
