Tsukuba Michi Old Road

つくば道

Ibaraki · Kanto

This old pilgrimage road climbs through stone walls, farmhouses, and quiet village scenery toward Mount Tsukuba’s base. It is atmospheric without needing the summit crowds.

Why it's hidden

Visitors usually take the shuttle bus directly to the ropeway or shrine.
