Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hitachiomiya is a city in Ibaraki, distinct from Hitachi and Hitachiota. Choose Miwa’s roadside station or a hillside park in Naka. Check separate onward transport from JR Suigun Line stations.

This guide covers places within Hitachiomiya, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE
