    Ibaraki Pref. Tsukubashi Tsukuba 1
    Tsukuba cable car established in 1925 is a historic cable car which was the 2nd earliest cable car to operate in Kanto and the 5th earliest in Japan. It connects the 1,643 meters between Miyawaki Station half way up Tsukubasan (305 meters above sea level) and Tsukubasancho Station (800 meters above sea level) in about eight minutes. From its windows, you can gaze at seasonal plants and flowers, and it is a perfect place for foliage especially in fall. The view from the peak is magnificent, and you can see Tokyo Skytree in the distance.

    ケーブルカーの乗車口は筑波神社のさらに上にあるので結構な登りでした。ペットはゲージに入れる必要がありますが無料で貸し出してくれるので愛犬2匹と乗車しました。山頂駅までは約8分で到着しますが、林に囲まれているので車窓からは近くの樹木しか見えませんでした。なお、日本100名山に楽々と登頂できるので便利です。

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.
