“Surprising Ibaraki”
As an Ibaraki native, Keiichiro-san is very passionate about his home prefecture. He gave us a comprehensive insight to the places of interest and the local cuisine worth experiencing. He has a good command of English and there is no difficulty in communication. The Fukuroda Fall is spectacular and highly recommended.
