Yukari no Mori is a nature centre that has a variety of facilities for people who want to commun with the elements. There are barbecue facilities, camping grounds, and some treehouses. There is a little pond that has a little bridge for kids to play on and a big adult jungle gym area where you can test out your infantry skills.

November 11, 2006: Ibaraki Nature Museum

The Ibaraki Nature Museum is all about science and nature. It has permanent exhibits that cover various topics (see below) such as dinosaurs, the senses, and geology. Rather than making you read boring panels about the exhibits, however, this museum lets you interact with almost everything you see.

November 4, 2006: RinRin Road

Tsukuba RinRin Road (つくばりんりんロード) is a bicycle path that runs along a 40.1 kilometer route from Tsuchiura City to Iwase Town. The road is also known as Iwase Tsuchiura Bicycle Path (iwase tsuchiura jitensha dou) and it runs along the route that the Tsukuba Train Line (tsukuba tetsudou) used to run on. The train line was abandoned in 1987 and some forward-thinking person decided to make it into a bicycle path. The six former train stations have been made into rest areas, and there are other, smaller rest areas along the way.
