Ito Yokado is a large department store with lots of interesting things to buy and look at. Great for picking up genuine souvenirs like Japanese dishes.

An interesting and well put together collection of the history of Hitachi City, the company, and the people. Set on a beautiful piece of park-like land.

To get to Hitachi City you are likely to take a train from Tokyo for about an hour and a half.

Ibaraki Flower Park. Not sure the exact location but we stopped there on the way to Kasama for our pottery lesson. This park is extremely well kept and filled with all sorts of flowers and a large pond which is filled with carp. Great place to stretch your legs and grab some lunch.

Kasama Pottery. My friends from the Purchasing Department took us on a day trip to Kasama to try our hands in pottery in the special clay from the area.

Fondest memory: Singing Karaoke and drinking Sake.
