Hitachi Fudokinooka (石岡市 常陸風土記の丘)
4.0
This historic park is located in Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. It features an observatory platform modeled to look like the head of a shishi (lion), a public square with a playground, and a waterfront park for enjoying flowers in all seasons, including cherry blossoms. For a fee, you can enter the excavated ruins recreated as Kanoko Ruins Park or the Square of Restored Ancient Homes, even checking the inside to see historical documents and artifacts on display. There is also a retail shop and a restaurant that serves ostrich meat from Ishioka City and Idaten soba. Soba-making classes are held here too.
Review of Hitachi Fudoki no Oka
TripAdvisor Traveler Ratingお天気にも恵まれて、桜がとても綺麗でした。
お花見の時期は早めに行かないと駐車場が混雑します。
広大な公園で歩き疲れましたが、しだれ桜などたくさんの桜が咲いていて、とても綺麗で楽しめました。

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.
