Minato Park (港公園)
4.0
A park located in the center of the Port of Kashima, one of the largest artificially excavated ports in the world. At night from the top of the park's 52-meter tall observation tower, visitors can get a sweeping view of the glittering factories operating in the Kashima coastal industrial zone. On New Year's Day, the park is open from 6:00 a.m., and the sight of the first sunrise of the new year emerging from beyond the industrial zone is stirring.

Review of Minato Park
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating太平洋側を望むと、左側は日本製鉄(旧新日鐵住金)の工場群が、右側は火力発電所・製粉工場などを見ることができます。
また、展望塔の下からは、鹿島港を見学できる観光船も運航されています。

Ibaraki Areas

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.
