Real wine brew place by the first country a businessman and Kamiya den Hyoe founded. 3 houses of magnificent western architecture built with red brick built for Meiji Period is designated as national important cultural property. A lorry for wine carriage tried to imitate whole process flow until 6000 of cultivation of a grape plant, harvesting, brew of wine and bottling in this real life then, and ran between the Ushiku Station. A valuable building is opened to the public historically at present, and the shop to which tour Property, Restaurant and original "wine cake" are sold is being managed.

Expectation is driven in the footprint "Japanese wine king" followed.

The "Kamiya den Hyoe museum" used as a fermented room over 3 houses is display Property where a tour is possible for free of charge. The form that huge Kitaru lines up both sides in an aisle the 1st floor is highlights. Kitaru who is near the entrance was used approximately 100 years ago, and can see transcription with "built with May, 1903". Valuable material of brew apparatus in at that time is exhibited on the 2nd floor, an impression, much. The pace of Kamiya den Hyoe and passion are told soon. Wine is also loaded by a chilly underground seller onto a remaining old bottle darkly, and it's wrapped in the peculiar fragrance and atmosphere.

The big Buddhist statue which stands in Ibaraki-ken which was a base of missionary work at Kanto of a founder of Jodo-Shinshu and Shinran. It's completed in the site of headquarters Higashi Hongan-ji in 1992 and takes pride in the hugeness by which Nara's Great Buddha is to the extent I get on a palm.

Sunset which suits a gentle surface of the water is also beauty which is to the extent I hold my breath, and the view from "Tennouzaki park" which also sees Mount Tsukuba is a sunset spot of local person recommendation.

I challenge Kasumigaura going around by a cycling along lakeside.

The form of the cyclist that the cycling load to which you can run refreshingly is maintained, breaks the wind comfortably and runs is judged by safety along lakeside. It's dotted with an interesting place and support Property Restaurant of local production for local consumption, a park and an agricultural produce direct sales place on the course. Rent-a-cycle (Reservation required) is made of "it's square ringingly, Tsuchiura" etc. in Tsuchiura Station premises, so a superb view cycling can be enjoyed even empty-handed.

I know the forefront of space development in a science city.

The one for which the size of original of length 50m "II rockets of H-" was used actually for base-line check

The inspection tour the other tour guides who can sense space technology imminently show is being also performed in JAXA which carries a space study in Japan tip and development. II "rockets of real H-" you meet at the rocket square where a front gate is immediately is very popular as a photo spot. Tension also goes up adult unconsciously in the form that a successive generations rocket (1/20 sizes) equals in the "space Daum" who can visit freely in a row. A space goods of the JAXA authentication "space food" etc. I get at a museum shop can't also be overlooked.

I'll imagine the global future by astronaut feeling.

I recommend about 70 minutes, inspection tour (charge and Reservation required). I take a bus and leave, and a practical use control room in a "Kibo" Japan experimental ridge and the education area used for astronaut's selection and drill can be visited with a guide. The sound which watches an introduction picture of JAXA at an information ridge of public relations, and is at the time of rocket launch, Experience. Sound in 3km spot can taste the sense to affect a body like the rumble of the ground from a launching site. The future world should be able to be impressed by something closer by touching a realistic site of space development.

Symbol-like existence of Ibaraki which consists of the back of 2, Nantai-san and Nyotaizan. When being shortest in one hundred famous mountains of the altitude 877m and Japan and using a cable car and a ropeway, it's hike feeling, in peak, Direction, possible. I take it from "Miyawaki Station" of Mount Tsukuba shrine side by cable car, and it's to "Tsukuba-sancho Station" just before the Mount Nantai peak. A gift shop and Dining Area can stand in a row and get a bird's-eye view of Kanto-heiya by 360 times of great panorama from free observatory in a "a frame, observatory" roof in the "going out KE field" which spreads outside the station (by Miyuki, HARA).

The famous mountain and Mount Tsukuba which equal "Tsukuba in western Fuji and east" in Mt. Fuji from the old days and have been claimed. The whole mountain is made the divine object, and Izanami's conjugal god is being deified with Izanagi. The design of the heart called "Inome (Stay here and drink.)" can think there is divine favor in conjugal harmony, a matchmaking and wife safety in a historical origin, Osuzu in a "Mount Tsukuba, shrine" hall of worship in the side and a pillar. A stately existence sense of a sacred tree of an age of the tree for 800 years and height 36.5m "Osugi" is also highlights. "Sazareishi" sung in a pseudonym opening of "Kimigayo" and "the Collection of Old and New Japanese Poetry" is offered up to a precinct.
