Hitachi Seaside Park túrák

Guide is helpful. Timing for Hitachi park a bit short. Traffic back to Tokyo is congested n tiring. Overall is fine. We do enjoy the whole trip. Also everyone is punctual and happy

Körülbelül 2 óra Shinjuku állomástól, az első megálló az „Oarai Isosaki-jinja szentély” volt, ahol körülbelül 1 órát töltöttünk. A második megálló a „Nakaminato Halpiac” volt, ahol az ünnep miatt túl sokan voltak, és sok helyen hosszú sorok álltak, itt körülbelül 1 órát töltöttünk. Az utolsó megálló a „Hitachi Seaside Park” volt, a belépőjegy 800 jen volt, és körülbelül 2 órát töltöttünk ott.

I almost wanted to cancel this trip because the flower season was over, but then I thought a suburban tour would also give my feet a rest. The date was the Friday after Golden Week, so there were far fewer tourists, and we hardly had to wait in line for anything. The three stops on the itinerary weren't far apart. Initially, it was just 'get on the bus - sleep - attraction - eat - attraction - go back.' It took over two hours to get to the first attraction, even without much traffic. At Oarai Isosaki Shrine, I think the main point is to go down the stairs to the beach. For the fish market, you really need to do your research beforehand and decide immediately which restaurant you want to eat at, otherwise, you definitely won't have enough time. The last stop was a park. I initially thought it was just a nature park, but it actually had playground equipment, so it's a great place for those with kids. Since the flowers had already withered this time, we took the guided tour bus that circles the park. One loop took about 40-50 minutes. The park is truly enormous; if you don't take the bus, you'd need to rent a bicycle, or you'd be exhausted from walking. In summary, this tour isn't one where the guide takes you around the attractions; it's all free time, so it's essential to do your homework beforehand.

Június 17-én csatlakoztam az Ibaraki túrához, és csodálatos élményben volt részem. Az útvonal élvezetes volt, és minden jól szervezett volt. Idegenvezetőnk, Cora, nagyon kedves, barátságos volt, és mindig szívesen segített, ha kérdésem volt. Sok ajánlást is megosztott a látnivalókkal kapcsolatban, ami még érdekesebbé tette az utazást. Cora útmutatásának és vendégszeretetének köszönhetően nagyszerűen éreztem magam Ibaraki felfedezése során. Mindenkinek feltétlenül ajánlom ezt a túrát, aki a környékre látogatna.

The guide provided explanations in both English and Chinese, which made the experience easy to follow. Overall, I felt the trip was well-paced and not rushed at all. I don't think the seafood market is a must-visit stop, especially since most visitors are travelers and are unlikely to buy fresh seafood to cook themselves. However, it is still a convenient place to have lunch and try some local seafood dishes. Overall, I enjoyed the tour and felt it was a pleasant and well-organized experience.

Frissítő menekülés Tokióból, mivel a természet, a kultúra és a nagyszerű ételek tökéletes keverékét kínálja. A helyi tenger gyümölcsei frissek és ízletesek voltak. A tengerparti park kissé csalódást keltő volt, mivel most van a virágos dombok szezonja, de mivel a park nagy, így mégis kellemes séta volt a zöld erdőben. Van vidámpark és játszótér gyerekeknek, de nem volt idő játszani. Összességében a festői parkok felfedezése, a templomok és szentélyek látogatása, valamint az óceánra nyíló kilátás élvezése révén Ibaraki Japán egy más oldalát mutatja be, amelyet érdemes felfedezni.

Our tour guide, Zoe, was incredibly attentive and fluent in English, Japanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese! The day before the trip, she sent a thoughtful reminder with all the details, including bringing an umbrella in case of rain and a power bank since there wouldn't be charging on the bus. Thirty minutes before arriving at each attraction, she would explain the site to us in the car. Once we arrived, she was enthusiastic about helping us take photos and pointing out the best spots, as well as restaurants and souvenir shops. We are so grateful for Zoe's meticulous and thoughtful arrangements behind the scenes, which made this trip so smooth! I've been on many local tours, and Zoe's arrangements were the most seamless. Although the nemophila and wisteria weren't at their best, we still enjoyed camellias, yellow wisteria, and a beautiful rose garden 🌹. Thank you, Zoe, for your dedication and hard work, which made this such a wonderful flower-viewing trip.
