Ibaraki Town, Higashiibaraki District, is a rural area rich in nature facing the southern part of Mito City. With the opening of an interchange from the Kita-Kanto Expressway, accessibility is expected to improve even further. Thanks to its mild climate and abundant water sources, agriculture is the main industry. Furthermore, with easy access to the Keihin area and central Tokyo, transportation is not an inconvenience. Major local specialties include melons and strawberries. It is no exaggeration to say that the town produces all agricultural products, including sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and spinach. The Obata Kitayama Haniwa Production Ruins Park is the largest archaeological site in Japan.
