Video introduction of "Itsuura Beach" in Kitaibaraki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

This video, titled "[4K] Superb Aerial Views of the Izura Coast in Kita-Ibaraki, Chiba" ([4K] 絶景空撮：五浦海岸（茨城県北茨城市）の海岸絶景 Superb view of the coast at Izura Coast), was uploaded by "AQUA Geo Graphic."
The video introduces the Izura Coast of Ibaraki Prefecture.
As its name suggests, the Izura Coast (五浦, Izura, lit. "Five Inlets") in Ibaraki Prefecture consists of five inlets: Koizura, Daiizura, Tsubaki-iso, Naka-iso, and Hata-iso.
Its address puts it in Kita-Ibaraki, but it is located on the border with Fukushima Prefecture.

The Izura Coast belongs to Hanazono-Hananuki Prefectural Natural Park, and has been selected as one of the Top 100 Beaches of Japan, 100 Soundscapes of Japan, Top 100 Views of Ibaraki, Top 100 White Sand and Green Pine Beaches of Japan, and Top 100 Geological Sites of Japan.
It is also called "Kanto no Matsushima" because of its black pine trees and is a scenic spot with plenty to see and do.

It is also said that the large carbonate concretion reefs along the Izura Coast are most likely derived from natural gas gushing from oil and gas fields that existed on the surrounding seafloor.
In this video, you can enjoy rare images taken from the Pacific Ocean side.

The Izura Coast, Deeply Associated With Okakura Kakuzo

The Izura Coast is closely associated with Okakura Kakuzo (Okakura Tenshin), an artist and thinker of Japan's Meiji Period (1868-1912 AD).
Okakura Kakuzo's former residence with its magnificent garden and Rokkakudo, which can be seen from 0:40 in the video, still stand on the beach and are well known as tourist attractions on the Izura Coast.
Rokkakudo was designed by Okakura Kakuzo himself as a place of thought.
It was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and what can be seen today was rebuilt in 2012.

Beautiful Views of Cape Otsu
