Ibaraki Airport is a convenient regional airport.

The airport offers international flights to Taipei City, Taiwan. In addition to its four direct domestic flights to Sapporo (Shin Chitose Airport), Kobe, Fukuoka, and Naha, there are also domestic connecting flights to Nagasaki, Kagoshima, and Miyako (Shimoji Island).

The airport is small, so there is less need to move around, resulting in a seamless experience. It also offers great access, with only about 100 minutes required by bus from Tokyo Station. This makes it perfect for sightseeing or business. Additionally, there are bus routes connecting the prefecture's main stations, Mito Station and Ishioka Station.
Another recommended option for getting around is renting a car at the airport. If visitors to the prefecture stay in an accommodation facility in Ibaraki for more than one night, they can rent a car starting from 1,000 yen (a special rent-a-car campaign). Ibaraki is a large prefecture, so exploring Ibaraki and the surrounding area will be all the more convenient with a car.

*Information regarding the operational status, bus routes, and the rent-a-car campaign is effective as of September 2024. For the most up-to-date details, please refer to the official homepage.

Hitachi Seaside Park

Hitachi Seaside Park is perhaps Ibaraki's most famous tourist destination for its Instagram-friendly fields of flowers. This vast park is best known for the stunning blue nemophila flowers in spring (mid-April onwards) and bright red kochia bushes in autumn (October). There's plenty to see year-round, including daffodils, tulips, sunflowers, and oil-seed rape blossoms. In addition to flowers, it is home to a small amusement park and traditional Japanese farmhouses.
Once inside, visitors can enjoy a stroll, rent a bicycle, or ride the Seaside Train to get around. The park is entirely wheelchair accessible.
Moreover, Hitachi Seaside Park is located close to other destinations such as Aquaworld Aquarium, Nakaminato Fish Market, and Kairakuen Park. In other words, it's easy to plan a one or two-day trip to all of these major sites!
