Hitachi Seaside Park

Located in the area facing the Pacific Ocean in the city of Hitachinaka, Hitachi Seaside Park offers beautiful flowers in its well-kept, large gardens throughout the year. In spring, narcissuses, tulips and nemophila (baby blue eyes) attract lots of visitors. In early summer, poppies and roses, and in summer, zinnias and sunflowers, bloom. In autumn, you can enjoy kochia (summer cypress) and cosmos flowers. In winter, ice tulips can be seen, making for a rich complement of flora throughout the year. The Pleasure Garden, which features over 25 rides and attractions, includes a Ferris Wheel sitting 100m above sea level and offering outstanding views. Other destinations that allow you to enjoy nature include the Rinkan Athletic Grounds, Barbecue Zone, and Cycling Course.

I visited the park on 31Oct 2018. We took the JR train from Ueno station, it only took us less than 2 hours. There is a feeder bus waiting outside the station, you pay the bus tickets and also the entrance fee of the park too. When you get to the park, you have a choice of walking or taking the tram ( 500yen) that circles around the huge park but you can drop off and on anytime at certain location. My favourite place is the Kochia hill, where you can walk around the kochia plants till the top of the hill surrounded with bright reddish colours. The beautiful surroundings actually lifted my mood and gives me immediate sense of happiness! There are other plants and huge trees in the park, we had coffee at the nice outdoor cafe surrounded with big trees, it's so serene and calm there. Such a fascinating autumn experience! It's worth the trip here from Tokyo!

The Kobuntei is in the park and one has to pay a small entrance fee. After taking ones shoes off, you follow the signs and so see all accessible spaces. Certainly worth a visit.

Kairakuen Park

Also known as the Tokiwa garden, this land was originally a plum orchard belonging to Tokugawa Nariakira. Converted into public property in 1840 and renamed Kairakuen, this park is now recognized as one of the top three gardens in Japan.

We took a train to Mito station and walked along Senba lakeside to Kairakuen Park. You could also take a bus there if you choose not to walk. It was a pleasant walk in spring. Although cherry blossoms were not at the peak, plum blossoms were in full bloom and the park was a fairyland of colours. It was enjoyable to walk around the park and very doable. We took a bus back to Mito station after our visit.

Mount Tsukuba

Reviewed By ShiningSchnee - Hong Kong, China

We took the cable car up the mountain, then hiked up both peaks of the mountain and down via one of the trails. Sweeping views of the plains and fields and on this very sunny and clear day, we could see as far as Mount Fuji and the Pacific Ocean. There were many interesting rock features along the trail downhill. Very enjoyable hike!

Fukuroda Falls

Reviewed By altair06 - Chiba, Japan

Well, that is what the information board have said. But this waterfall is really beautiful especially on autumn. Though this year, the autumn trees were probably damaged by the typhoon, hence the leaves were not as dense as previous years. It's still pretty! To maximize your time, as soon as you arrive, queue for the elevator going the observation deck. On bad days, this would take around 20 to 30 minutes. After which you can go to the 1st level observation deck and then to the suspension bridge. After that, go back to the shotengai (the marketplace) and have some dango and/or ice cream. And buy some Ibaraki omiyage!

We had a nice, cool and pleasant walk along the lakeside of Senba lake in early spring. Cherry blossoms had just started to bloom and not at their peak yet but plum blossoms were just after the peak. Good recommended walk here. Can see many locals walking or jogging for exercise.
