Hojo Rice Warehouse District

北条米蔵通り

Ibaraki · Kanto

Hojo has old rice warehouses, narrow streets, and a calm premodern feel at the foot of Mount Tsukuba. It is a small but rewarding stop for texture and photos.

Why it's hidden

The town is bypassed by most mountain visitors and research-city travelers.
