Kamisu

Kamisu stretches across the coastal plain between the lower Tone River and the Pacific Ocean in southeastern Ibaraki Prefecture, a position that has linked the city to river transport and heavy industry. The Tone, one of Japan’s major rivers, meets the sea near Kamisu’s southern edge, while the port area forms part of the Kashima coastal industrial zone. Ikisu Shrine, traditionally counted with Kashima and Katori shrines among eastern Japan’s three great shrines, provides a religious landmark beyond the factories and freight routes. Its broad, low-lying setting contrasts with Ibaraki’s mountainous interior.
