[2025 Tsukuba Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Tsukuba (Updated Apr)

Mount Tsukuba is about a two-hour drive from Tokyo. Also, it takes 45 minutes from Akihabara on the Tsukuba Express, or 40 minutes by bus from Tsukuba Station. At the base of Mount Tsukuba is Tsukubasan Shrine, and from there it's a 10-minute cable car ride to the observation deck. Just the observation deck is fine, but if you like mountain climbing, we recommend heading further up to the summit. There's also a hotel at the base with a day spa, so you can enjoy a variety of activities. #MountTsukuba #Tsukuba

You can easily climb the mountain on a day trip and admire the breathtaking scenery! It is well maintained and has many climbers, so even beginners can feel safe! There is also a ropeway, so it's no problem even if you're not so keen on climbing! Be sure to dress warmly and enjoy the best time. #breathtakingviews #Mt.Tsukuba #climbing

On this day, I went to Tsukuba-san Shrine while I was in Ibaraki Prefecture! I had finished my university promotion exam the day before, so I came to pray for success! I took a cable car from the shrine to Mt. Tsukuba, and the view from the top was truly beautiful! I was energized by the magnificent view from Mt. Tsukuba, and I passed the exam with ease!! I'll go again next year! #gw2022jp #Mt. Tsukuba #Shrine #ShrineTour #RetroSpot #PhotogenicSpot #RecommendedForDates #MountainClimbing

When talking about popular day-trip hiking destinations near the Kanto region, Mt. Takao and Mt. Tsukuba come to mind. Even if you are not planning on hiking, you can easily get to the observation area as there are cable cars. Even if you are planning on hiking, it is a mountain that is very easy to climb, yet has a sense of height and gives you a great sense of accomplishment. #Hiking #Mt. Tsukuba

#SoloTravel #TsukubaSightseeing A while ago, I got on a plane and went to Mount Tsukuba. From the plane, a carpet of clouds spread across the sky, which gave me a very strange feeling, and I just stared at the sky and my mind became empty. After getting off the plane, I got in a rental car and drove towards Mount Tsukuba for about 2 hours, and from the ropeway I could see the beautiful autumn leaves, and from the top of the mountain I could see the horizon of clouds, and I was able to enjoy a day of healing with the scenery. I'd like to go in a different season too.

📍Mount Tsukuba There are two ways to get there: by cable car or by hiking trail I took the cable car! You can see the plains It's very beautiful during the autumn leaves season. Next time I'd like to try the hiking trail! 【INFORMATION】 Mount Tsukuba 📮Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture 🚗Free parking available #0 yen travel autumn

Known for its expansive parks, like Hitachi Seaside Park with its mesmerizing seasonal flower displays, Ibaraki provides some of the most stunning natural scenery in the country. Mount Tsukuba, a popular hiking destination, also offers breathtaking views and a spiritual connection through its ancient shrines. Ibaraki’s reputation as a hub for science and technology, especially with Tsukuba Science City, adds a modern and forward-thinking dynamic to the region. It’s a place where innovation thrives alongside traditional experiences, like visiting Kairakuen Garden, one of Japan’s most famous traditional gardens. In my opinion, Ibaraki is a prefecture that balances modernity and nature seamlessly. It offers something for everyone, from tech enthusiasts to outdoor adventurers, making it a rewarding destination for travelers seeking both innovation and tranquility.

#falltrip Mt. Tsukuba has two peaks: the east peak is Mt. Nyotai(Nyotai-san) at 877 meters, and the west is Mt. Nantai(Nantai-san) at 871 meters above sea level. Mt. Tsukuba is one of the best 100 mountains in Japan, and is known as the lowest of the 100 mountains.(Only Mt. Tsukuba and Kaimondake of Kagoshima Prefecture are less than 1,000 meters.) One of the most famous shrines in the Kanto region, with a 3,000 year history, “Mount Tsukuba-jinja”(Mt. Tsukuba shrine) is located on the mountainside. There are also main shrines on each of the peaks of Mt. Nantai and Nyotai. Because Mt. Tsukuba has two peaks,Nantai(which means male) and Nyotai (which means female), it is believed that this mountain gives the blessing of marital harmony and matchmaking. Moreover, “Power Spots” (a Japanese coined word which means sacred places with good luck for money, health and advancement in life) are interspersed at various places on the mountain.

#JapanTravel #OverseasTravel #Ibaraki #TokyoTravel #TokyoSuburbs #Mt.Tsukuba This time, I climbed Mt. Tsukuba in Ibaraki Prefecture. Mt. Tsukuba is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan, and although it is not very high, it is famous for being a difficult mountain because the mountain path is rocky and steep. Of course, I took the cable car.ㅎㅎ There is a saying that if there is Mt. Fuji in the west, there is Mt. Tsukuba in the east, so I heard that it is a dangerous and rough mountain, so I bought a cable car ticket with the thought of going to the top even though it was hot. It was over 500 yen per person one way..ㅠㅠ It was expensive, but I was able to ride the cable car for quite a while. After passing the shrine of Mt. Tsukuba, you will see the station where you can take the cable car. The shrine is said to be a very old shrine, so I recommend stopping by while you are there. There are several restaurants and souvenir shops at the top. Maybe because it's on top of a mountain, it's expensive, so I bought one and shared it..ㅠㅠㅠ The entire Tsukuba Mountain is designated as a protected area, so please be careful about smoking and littering.

Near Tsukuba University in Japan, there are many Chinese people. Today, I went specifically to take photos of plum blossoms 😀 It's a trip to the Tsukuba Mountain Plum Blossom Festival in Ibaraki, Japan. The plum blossoms are 70% in bloom, and we can wait a few more days...
