This onsen (hot spring facility) features a sauna, cold-water plunge pool, and large warm-water baths separated into male and female bathing areas. There are also two open-air baths constructed from natural stone and are covered with wooden canopies. Illuminated at night, these outdoor baths are perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing.

teamLab: Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces

Opened in 2024, the "Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces" is an interactive art exhibition set in the forest and on the former terraced rice fields of Kitaibaraki City, near the Izura Coast.

The exhibition is one of teamLab's Digitized Nature projects, which aims to transform nature into art.
Visitors will enjoy an immersive journey while exploring a mystical forest woven with light and music, along with various exhibits.

The highlight is the "Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces " Numerous lights appear on the water's surface of the terraced fields, and on the 'Water Mirror Path through the Hidden Rice Terraces", visitors can experience walking as if floating on water.
Glamping facilities and cottages, where guests can enjoy hot springs surrounded by art and nature, are also located nearby.

Hitachi Kamine Park

Kamine Park is located on the lower slopes of Mount Kurakake. Around 1000 cherry trees bloom in the park from early April onwards. The park overlooks Hitachi City and the sprawling Pacific coast. If you’re visiting Ibaraki in the summer, Kamine Park is a great place to avoid the sweltering heat in the summertime.
There are three main areas inside the park: a zoo, an amusement park, and a children’s play area. The amusement park has rollercoasters and a Ferris wheel to entertain adults and children. The children’s play area features merry-go-rounds and a mini Ferris wheel suitable for young park-goers.
