  • Otsu Fishing Port

    Ibaraki Pref. Kitaibarakishi Otsuchou In the ground
    A 15 minute drive from the Kita-Ibaraki Interchange. The top net fishing port in the prefecture, each year tens of thousands of tons are brought in here. Beautiful Cape Matsugasaki sprawls to the east of the port, and visitors can enjoy watching boats come in and go out, as well as enjoy a fantastic sunrise or sunset. This area is also connected with the famous Sakuradamon Incident when the chief minister was assassinated in 1860, and records from that time in the closing days of the Tokugawa shogunate government note the disembarkation of travelers from other countries. The docks are well-maintained, making the port a great place for families to do a little fishing; the most common fish you can catch here include fat greenlings and black rockfish. There’s a direct sale shop offering fresh fish just brought into port, as well as a cafeteria, and visitors can enjoy shopping or a meal while exploring the area.

  • Hobikibune Sailboat Cruises
    Travel / Tourism
    Ibaraki Pref. Tsuchiurashi Kawaguchi 2
    Hobikibune are traditional fishing vessels which operate on Lake Kasumigaura close to JR Tsuchiura Station in Ibaraki Prefecture. Visitors can watch the boats plying their trade from cruise ships which depart from and return to the Port of Tsuchiura. This style of fishing was invented in Dejima Village in 1880. With the emergence of trawling boats around 1965, hobikibune disappeared, but today they have been brought back for tourists to watch as an important cultural legacy. Powered by a billowing white sail nine meters tall and 16 meters wide, the sight of these boats traveling crosswise to the wind is stirring. Note that the boats are operated from summer through fall.

  • Cormorant capture ground
    Travel / Tourism
    Ibaraki Pref. Hitachishi Juouchouishi 640
    An eight minute drive from the Hitachikita Interchange. Located on “Cape Cormorant” in Juo-cho, Hitachi City, this area is the only location in the country where cormorants are captured for provision to other parts of Japan. The captured cormorants are provided to 11 cormorant fishing areas in the country such as the Nagara River in Gifu. The area is only open to the general public from January to March and from July to September, times when visitors will not obstruct the capturing of cormorants. A dedicated tunnel, containing informational panels on cormorants, provides passage to the cliffs where the cormorants are captured. Visitors can also learn about the ecology of cormorants and how they are captured by one of the capturers.

    Accommodations / Hot Spring
    Ibaraki Hitachiota-shi Satogawacho 863-35

    見晴らしは最高です。高原なので、空気が澄んでいて何度か雲海も見たことがあります。宿泊は４回目でしたが、家族はみんな前の料理がよかったと言っていました。 今度泊まるとしたならば、隣の建物のロッジにして、バーベキューしたいです。 お風呂は温泉ではありません、夜、天体観測できるので土曜日は混んでいて、小さくもないお風呂がいっぱいで待ってはいりました。

Just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
