Hoogtepunten

Ibaraki is one of Japan's most underrated prefectures, home to striking scenic and spiritual landmarks just beyond Tokyo. With a private vehicle, this guided tour covers the full range of highlights: the towering Ushiku Daibutsu, a 120-meter bronze Buddha statue with an elevator to an 85-meter observation deck; Hitachi Seaside Park, famous for seasonal blooms; Kairakuen, one of Japan's top three landscape gardens; and Nakaminato Fish Market, a lively seafood hub. Without a private vehicle, Ushiku Daibutsu sits roughly 58km from the other sights and is unrealistic by public transport within the time frame. Instead, the public-transport version stays close to Mito and Hitachinaka, covering Kairakuen, Hitachi Seaside Park, and Nakaminato Fish Market as a compact loop. Either way, your guide offers deep insights into local gardens, food culture, and heritage, and the itinerary can be customized within the allotted time.

Route

  1. Begin your tour at the Ushiku Daibutsu, one of the tallest bronze Buddha statues in the world. Standing at 120 meters, it is three times the height of the Statue of Liberty. You can take an elevator inside the statue to an observation deck at 85 meters for a panoramic view. The surrounding gardens offer seasonal flowers and a peaceful atmosphere.

  2. Next, explore the vast Hitachi Seaside Park, famous for its stunning Miharashi Hill. The hill transforms with the seasons, featuring blue Nemophila in spring and crimson Kochia in autumn. It is a photographer's paradise where the rolling floral hills meet the blue sky and the Pacific Ocean.

  3. Visit Kairakuen, ranked as one of Japan’s three most beautiful landscape gardens. Built in 1842 by Tokugawa Nariaki, it features over 3,000 plum trees of 100 different varieties. Unlike many gardens built for lords, Kairakuen was designed to be enjoyed by the public. Explore the historic Kobuntei building for a glimpse into traditional samurai-era architecture.

  4. End your tour at the Nakaminato Fish Market, one of Ibaraki's largest and most vibrant seafood hubs. Located right next to the harbor, you can experience the lively atmosphere of local fishmongers. It is the perfect place to shop for fresh local products or enjoy a snack like freshly grilled oysters or a variety of street seafood before your tour concludes.
