Museum Park Ibaraki Nature Museum

Reviewed By Acesouthpaw328

Great place for a day trip! The grounds are large, and the exhibits are beautiful! The museum is large enough that even though there are many children, it is still possible to find a space where you can enjoy the vistas with your friend / significant other. Affordable as well, would definitely recommend to my friends.

Hitokotonushi Shrine

Reviewed By らいむ202 - 柏市

名前の通り一つだけ願いを叶えてくれる神社ですね。参道の入り口には樹齢500年のむくのきがあり、癒しの空間が広がります。立派な建物と立派な境内の中ゆっくりと散策できます。隣には子供が遊べる砂場や滑り台がありました。門前には「おもち茶屋」があり、良縁もち200円を買い求めました。美味しかったです。おすすめです。

Asahi Brewery Ibaraki

Reviewed By savvyr - Leicester, United Kingdom

I went here with my family in 2014. we are English with a Japanese daughter in law. the tour was free and they provided us with an English speaking guide. The guide was excellent and pleased to be able to use her English. the tour was really informative. at the end of the tour we were given some beer to try in and they had laid the table with English and Japanese flags a really nice touch! I would definitely recommend.

Shimizu Park

Reviewed By batnbunny - Kashiwa, Japan

A small park bursting with interests. A wonderful place to visit just to get back to nature. Blossom viewing in spring and changing red leaves in autumn with seasonal matsuri (festivals)
Every 28th of the month they celebrate the spirit of the temple that is home to the park.
Many family attractions such as animal farm, adventure park, pony rides, camping, mazes and more as well as a food kiosk and flower nursery. A short walk from shimizukoen station and on the otherside another short walk to the local supermarkets.

House of Sakano Family at Mitsukaido Climate Museum

Reviewed By xanctum - 栃木

この地の名主だった豪農のお屋敷。本来は武家屋敷に設置される薬医門があることから、その格式の高さがしのばれるそうです。表門と主屋は国指定重要文化財に指定されていますが、植木等庭園の雰囲気も良かったです。周辺の大生郷天満宮などとセットで見学するとよいでしょう。

Shiki no Sato Park

Reviewed By らいむ202 - 柏市

友達と車で行きました。バスは本数少ないので時間確認するといいです(関東鉄道、つくばエクスプレス守谷駅から)。しょうぶ・アヤメいっぱいに咲いていました。池には泡がプクプクしているので生き物がたくさん住んでいるのでしょう。休憩所(長椅子がおいてあります)で持参したおにぎりを食べながら周りを見渡しひと時を楽しみました。近くの老人施設の方々も皆さんで来ていて暖かな一日を自然の中で楽しんでいました。公園内には遊具も少しあり、子供たちも遊べます。アジサイもたくさんあったので四季折々楽しめるのでしょう。

Kokuo Shrine

Reviewed By ミノムシ生活

平将門を祀って約1000年前に作られた神社だそうです。有名な観光地ではありませんが、実際に訪れると荘厳な雰囲気で歴史好きなら一見の価値があると感じました。社殿は今では珍しい茅葺で、神社の伝統を感じさせるものでした。場所は国道354号線からは直ぐですが、周りに目印となるものがなく、また公共交通機関も無いようなので、カーナビだよりになると思います。参道入口には駐車場が無いので、社殿の隣にある公民館のスペースを利用すると良いでしょう。

Maruyama Nori Tsukuba Factory Shop

Reviewed By HIROKO G - Ushiku, Japan

築地に本店がある老舗の海苔屋さん。こんなに美味しい海苔もあると実感出来ます。お勧めは寿司用のきず海苔で「こんとび」¥700、「佐賀の初づみ」¥630です。安いきず海苔もありますが味が違います。高くて美味しいは当たり前ですが納得、我が家のプチ贅沢です。2種類ある味付け海苔もお勧めです。お茶の他、焼き菓子もあり、店内には喫茶コーナーもあります。残念ながらカードは利用出来ません。
年に数回工場祭りもあり、登録すると案内状が来ます。お買い得商品が出るせいか大混雑、終了間際に行きましたが売り切れもありました。

Kikkoman Soy Sauce Museum

Reviewed By 219kensf

Soy sauce is one of the most common seasonings in Japan. Chiba prefecture is the largest producer of Soy sauce in Japan. Kikkoman Corporation is the biggest soy sauce brand in the world. In its museum (the Kikkoman Soy Sauce Museum), you can get a lot of information about soy sauce, including its history.
I didn't know much about the soy sauce production process before going there, but after it was really easy to understand because you can see the process at the factry. The factry facility looked like a wine or beer brewery, but it was interesting that the smell around it was so salty.
If you have time, you can eat soy sauce ice cream at the MAME cafe there. You can also try baking Showyou Senbei. (Senbei are a type of Japanese rice cracker. Showyou Senbei is flavoured with soy sauce.)
The infomation is written in Japanese and English. If you visit, you will definitely become an expert about soy sauce in an hour!

Gugyoji Temple

Reviewed By akio9jp - Narita, Japan

浄土宗の寺院で、徳川家康の孫娘・千姫にゆかりがあることから、本堂などの飾りに「三つ葉葵の紋」が使われています。本堂は平成20年に修復されたので綺麗でしたが、その他の伽藍は老朽化が進んでいるようでした。なお、山門と鐘楼は老朽化に耐えられず解体して保存してあるようです。境内は広くて静寂とした雰囲気でした。
