    Ibaraki Naka-gun Tokaimura Muramatsu 225-2
    This science museum, Japan's only one dedicated to nuclear power, is situated along National Route 245 an 18-minute drive from the Hitachi-minami Ota Interchange on the Joban Expressway. The museum contains exhibits which introduce the foundations behind atoms and nuclear energy. Visitors can directly look at, touch, and interact with the things they are learning about through exhibits such as a big screen theater showing computer generated videos and the world's largest cloud chamber, which makes it possible to see the natural radiation that is around us at all times. In addition, exhibits on incidents such as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the Tokaimura nuclear accident convey safe ways of utilizing radiation to future generations.

    エネルギーとしての原子力に関しての展示は少ないです。一番おもしろかったのは空港のX線検査装置ですね。実物を操作できて、こんな風に映るのかと感心しきりでした。見学の所要時間としては1時間あれば十分ですね。

    Ibaraki Higashiibaraki-gun Oaraimachi Isohama Machi 6890
    A museum located on the grounds of Oarai Isosaki Shrine in Isohama-cho, Oarai Town, Higashiibaraki County. Both the Shinto deities honored at the shrine and the nearby land they're thought to protect are closely tied to the ocean and the fishing industry. As such, the museum was conceived as an education facility that works to raise awareness of and interest in Japan's role as a maritime country. Specimens on display depict the evolution of marine life from protozoa to whales.

    神社の敷地内にあり コンパクトな博物館でした でも、展示は、まあまあで、茨城県の海の事が解りました。 バスツアーの方が居ましたが見学しない様子ですいていて良かったです

    Ibaraki Pref. Hitachinakashi Takeda 566-2
    "A historic structure located next to Numao Shrine a 10-minute walk from the ""Takedahoncho"" bus stop. Takeda Ward in Hitachinaka City is where the Kai Takeda clan, the clan of the famous samurai lord Takeda Shingen, is believed to have originated. This residence for the Takeda clan is said to have been built near the location of the home of the progenitor of the clan-Minamoto no Yoshikiyo who, along with his son Kiyomitsu, was banished to Kai Province and took up the name ""Takeda"" after the name of the local area. The current residence is a reconstruction built in the early shoin-zukuri style as would have been used by the Takeda clan in the Kamakura period when they were a powerful local family. Inside the residence are exhibits such as a Takeda family tree, mannequins dressed in samurai costumes, and period arms and armor."

    東国の要として進出を図って土着したようですが、中世の勢力変遷は複雑で史料も少なく良く分かりません。無料で復元館に資料を配して公開しているのは、様々な方々の努力であり立派と思います。

    Ibaraki Pref. Nakaguntoukaimura Shirakata 1-1

    安全管理の無責任な体制がさらけ出され、上手く活用できれば良かった原子力発電は、自然の影響を妥当に評価できないなど人類にはとても扱いきれなく、使用済核燃料や放射線廃棄物の処分の道筋や示されていたスケジュールが守れて無い惨状は、この国、人類、地球の存続の危機の現れ？ あと何年存続できるのでしょう。
