In a nutshell
It's beautiful in the Fall season because of the change of the leaves!
Watch the cable cars come and go!
joiwatani Says: I left my father at the cable car station because he can't climb up the hill which took me 30 minutes or so to hike. I just have to have my exercise that day, so I went all the way to the shrine. The hike was steep and hard.My father just went to the view deck and watched...
Check out the huge Frog at Tsukubayama
joiwatani Says: If you are not tired hiking up to the shrine yet, make sure to check the big frog building that is perched up on the hill. It takes about 20-30 minutes hike. You can see the frog from the parking lot of the Tsukubayama. The frog is a symbol of good luck to the Japanese. At...
Go up the hill and follow the path to the temple!
joiwatani Says: I left my father at the cable station and told him that I wanted to hike up the hill and follow the path where it will lead me. Since I had my sneakers on, I thought it would be an easy climb. For about fifteen minutes, it lead me to an intersection and one goes to the left...
torototammy Says: It's a good weekend getaway. Mt. Tsukuba has two peaks; one is Nantaisan(represents male) and the other is Nyotaisan(female). From the elevation of 800m above sea level, you can enjoy the view of Kanto plain. As well as some hiking trails, ropeway and cablecars are...
Authentic Teriyaki restaurant: Authentic Teriyaki restaurant
wendyng18 Says: This little shop is nice and cosy. Restaurant opens about 6pm. Restaurant is about 1 Km from the Tsukuba International congress center. Very nice Teriyaki and the price is reasonable too. Their teriyaki rice and chicken (balls/meat) are very nice. Try it together with cold...
Quadrifoglio: A Casual Italian Restaurant
torototammy Says: You will enjoy the great Italian dishes in a casual cafe Atomosphere. It dosen't look like an Italian restaurant at all if they don't show the Italian flag sign outside.It's a good place to have lunch. The dinner set is reasonably priced too.If you are planning to go there...
salisbury3933 Says: In days gone by apparently the bus was the only way to get to Tsukuba from Tokyo, however the opening of the Tsukuba Express a few years back has brought Tsukuba only 45 minutes from Akihabara in Tokyo.1150 yen from Akihabara to Tsukuba.
torototammy Says: 100 more days to become a real Japanese city(with train station). Starting August 24, 2005 Tsukuba Express will connect From Akihabara(the electric town, in the heart of Tokyo) to Tsukuba Center in 45 minutes.
torototammy Says: Tsukuba City offers this free bus services around the city. There are 13 routs connecting city halls and Tsukuba Bus Terminal. They go around the local residential area to support people who don't drive so it takes time to get where you want to go. Time allowance will be...
manuelEB Says: A democracy is a form of government in which the people, either directly or indirectly, take part in governing. However, the term is also sometimes used as a measurement of how much influence a people has over their government, as in how much democracy exists. The word...
manuelEB Says: The Japanese have adapted and adopted many religions. ***o (polyteist) seems to take care of the good things of life: new born child, founding a company, wedding(?), moving to anew house and in general "the start"...Shrines are visited, or the priest pays a visit, in any of...
Get to the cable car station before 2 pm
joiwatani Says: The last trip of the cable car crossing the mountains is at 4 pm. Make sure to get to the cable station at 2 pm so you can find time to climb the hill. Hiking to the temple and getting to the view point is probably about 45 minutes to an hour. Very tricky. Make sure to...
torototammy Says: This sunken square of Tsukuba Center Building is often used to shoot the fighting scenes for the power-ranger-typed TV shows.It's kinda funny to see the place I see everyday in the back ground of the super heroes fighting againist the evil guys.
Every interesting place is marked ...
DanaRo Says: ... by an history or a story. Tsukuba is marked by a mountain. In Japan all the mountain are sacre. Tsukuba-san is double in one way - two picks: a female pick and a male one. The female pick is higher than the male...

manuelEB Says: ACHTUNG: DO NOT RATE THESE PAGES!!!!at least you think they offer information that you cannot access in Encyclopaedia Brittannica. and other serious sources.Going up to Mt. TsukubaThe story is rather simple and it was told to my VTFriends; those who came and rated this...
manuelEB Says: Close to the building of the cable car you will kind the TOSANGUCHI. The chinese (now japanese!) characters indicating the entrance to the hiking path that will take you up...(if you bring enough"equipment") Bring energy in any form. Remember: you can not destroy energy,...
Smile now...you will cry later.
manuelEB Says: Ivanics is a kind of photography -very similar to what Annamation is in videos- where you should be able to have a picture of you and a pretty girl without asking anybody to take the picture. This was taken at the TOOSANGUCHI and the reason because I was not smiling can be...
I wish you were here, and here you are
manuelEB Says: No big deal...Going up stairs. They are somehow irregular in height but you should not ask for a big work of engineering here.As mattrr of fact, you came here to be in contact with mother Nature and father Science (two journals with high impact factor). Chocolats!!! yes...
