The area lying at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba makes Ibaraki a kingdom of fruits. There are many 'pick-your-own' farms located here. In autumn, the golden season for picking pears, chestnuts, persimmons, grapes, apples and many other delights, this area always receives an endless stream of tourists.

Mt. Tsukuba, which is famous in Kanto for its scenic beauty, offers people of all ages the fun of leisurely mountain climbing by ropeway or cable car. It has two high points: Man Peak and Woman Peak. In the season when the leaves on the mountain get red, the overall perspective from the peaks is just breathtaking.
