Recommended by Ibaraki Prefecture

JAL Hometown Support Team, Ibaraki Prefecture Representative, Koshigawa

I was born in Chiba Prefecture, but my child attended junior high school in Ibaraki Prefecture, so I have a special connection to Ibaraki Prefecture.
My hobbies are running and golf, which I recently started. When it gets warmer, I'd like to play golf courses in Ibaraki Prefecture.

The Charm of Ibaraki Prefecture

Ibaraki Prefecture is blessed with both the sea and the mountains, and is rich in nature, with many scenic and power spots.
It is a place full of attractions that you can enjoy a short trip to, just an hour and a half from Tokyo, with Mount Tsukuba, known as "Fuji of the West, Tsukuba of the East," Kairakuen, one of Japan's three greatest gardens, Kashima Shrine, the oldest and largest in the Kanto region, and the Ishikiri Mountains, known as the Grand Canyon of Ibaraki Prefecture.

The local souvenirs chosen by the Ibaraki Prefecture Hometown Support Team are...
"Kashima roasted sweet potato"

Ibaraki Prefecture, which ranks first in the nation in terms of agricultural production of sweet potatoes, produces moist and sweet sweet potatoes that are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, and are said to be ideal for the currently popular intestinal health and skin care measures.
Kashima baked sweet potatoes are made with aged and stored Beni Haruka sweet potatoes from Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture. They can also be frozen, so you can enjoy delicious baked sweet potatoes whenever you like. It is also recommended to add these baked sweet potatoes when making cheesecake.

Available for purchase at Kashima Yakiimo Hishiya Store (Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture)

Bears in the west and anglerfish in the east. Enjoy the winter flavors that can only be found here

There are many wonderful flavors in Japan that I have yet to try. Even if I have seen, heard about, or even tasted them, enjoying seasonal foods locally leaves an impression that is hard to find anywhere else. In winter, the cold weather makes the ingredients taste even more delicious. Seeking inspiration for a trip I would like to take someday, I went to Shiga Prefecture to try bear stew and Ibaraki Prefecture to try monkfish stew.
