Travel ideas by the International Affairs Division
Ibaraki has since time immemorial been endowed with riches from the mountains and the sea. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, with mild and comfortable weather, the area was in fact designated as a "land of eternity" in the Hitachi Fūdoki (Topography of the Hitachi Region) compiled in 713. Its coastline abounds in green fields, and its mountains offer countless scenic views. There is a wealth of culture and architecture too, as is evident from the many historical sites and structures to be found in the area. Ibaraki's festivals and exquisite crafts build on a legacy of tradition that celebrates the past and enriches the present. With its natural beauty and colorful history, along with a culture that skillfully blends the old and new, Ibaraki Prefecture offers a lifetime of attractions for residents and visitors alike.
