Hotels in Tsukuba

Tsukuba center where our hotel is located is an hour from Narita airport by private van,50 minutes to tokyo by train and everything is accessible by public bus. There are several restaurants that offer a variety of food but of course those offering japanese cuisine are the best. We ate in various restaurants as we wanted to taste everything.We also sampled the ready to eat sushi and sashimi sold in the supermarkets..there were two, Seibu and Aeon and they tasted fresh and delicious just like in the restaurants but cheaper. The shopping complex offers a variety of local and international goods we had a blast shopping since the goods are much cheaper than in Tokyo. We missed the new year countdown though because there was none in Tsukuba. Most of the attractions were also closed from Dec.29-Jan 3 but we managed to go to Tsukuba mountain by bus. Despite this we enjoyed our stay in Tsukuba ..it is a cheaper alternative to staying in crowded and expensive Tokyo.

Ummm, I live in Tsukuba. It is a nice place with great nature and convinient environment. Tokyo is close, so if I start to miss big cities, I can always take the Tsukuba Express and go to the capital!

I love Tsukuba. It is scenic. I especially enjoy the scenery in autumn with trees having orange and red leaves. Awesome. I like the central bus station in Tsukuba. Very convenient as it has buses to airport and to various places in Tsukuba. I did not have chance to visit Mount Tsukuba. I tell myself I would definitely come again with my family.

Ibaraki is known as the most boring prefecture, and I was only there for a conference. If sightseeing I wouldn’t stay here for too long, but it does have a nice stress free feel about it - so a get away from Tokyo perhaps.

Tsukaba is science city and quite place for living. In here have many interesting things about scientifics. The best place for me is Norin-danshi road which have a lot of beautiful sakura tree ^_^ Moreover Ume-park at Tsukuba san, please visit there if you have time.

In downtown(R&D and schools area) Tsukuba, streets and buildings look like ones of USA cities. Actually, 6 lanes streets or a big facility per a quatre mile lot can not be seen any other cities in Japan. Thus, you can transport yourself by your own car easily, also, there are many parking lots whose fares are reasonable. To Tsukuba, from Tokyo(Akihabara, electric avenue), TX: Tsukuba Express train is uncoperablly useful with its high speed, frequent services, low price and convenient location of stations both in Tokyo and Tsukuba. Tsukuba-san and Tsukuba Shrine nearby, are famous sightseeing spots to visit, where you can find good old Japanese tourism culture as well as conventional mountaneous religeon and grand view of Kanto plain all over.
