Kamitogawa Cosmos Field

If you are visiting Ibaraki in the fall, this cosmos field is an absolute must-see. The contrast between the endless expanse of lovely pink and white flowers and the majestic Mt. Tsukuba in the background perfectly captures the essence of autumn in Japan. Watching approximately one million cosmos flowers, carefully nurtured by the locals, swaying in the breeze offers a peaceful moment that makes you forget the city's hustle and bustle. It is a perfect healing spot for those wanting to take photogenic pictures or simply enjoy a quiet rural landscape.

Suigo Itako Ayame Garden

This riverside garden is home to a million irises of 500 varieties, which bloom beautifully in early summer. The highlight is the traditional "Bridal Boat" ceremony, where a bride in a white kimono is rowed across the canal in a wooden boat. The sight of the purple flowers and the slow-moving boats captures the timeless, romantic atmosphere of Japan’s traditional water districts.

Itako City

Itako is a romantic "water city" filled with nostalgic canal-side charm. In early summer, millions of irises bloom, and the traditional "Bridal Boat" ceremony—where a bride in traditional dress is rowed across the river—is a quintessential Japanese sight. You can enjoy a leisurely ride on a hand-prowed "Ro-bune" boat to see the town from the water. With old sake breweries and senbei (rice cracker) shops, Itako offers a peaceful stroll through Japan's watery past.

Itako Gion Festival

A vibrant festival with over 800 years of history, held in a charming riverside town. Fourteen massive floats topped with giant historical figures are paraded through the streets to the rhythm of traditional music. The energy is infectious, especially at night when lanterns light up the floats. It is a powerful way to experience the living traditions and communal spirit of rural Japan.
