Using the train "Super Hitachi" : Ibaraki Short Trip

The big three travel spots in Japan are Tokyo, Osaka, Kyouto. But, other spots are also very good. Ibaraki, where I made a short trip to, is one of them. Ibaraki Prefecture is located in the Kanto region on Honshu island. The capital is Mito. You can enjoy a beautiful nature surrounded by mountains and sea, a lot of fresh foods and various sports in Ibaraki. For example, people have enjoyed ocean sports, golf and hiking this time of year in Ibaraki.

I uesed the train "Super Hitachi" in this Ibaraki short trip. It takes just 1 hour and 10 minutes from Ueno station to Mito station.

This is in the train.

This is the seats.

That reminds me, are you hungry? If you are, please don't forget to try Ekiben (駅弁). Ekiben are boxed meals sold at stations and on trains. Now, many types of Ekiben are served. Some people eat Ekiben as a hobby :D

These are menu of Ekiben at Ueno station. Which Ekiben do you like best? 

This is a rice balls set and Japanese tea, I ordered them. 

Rice balls set has 3 rice balls, 2 rolled eggs and 2 fried chickens. It is very good. Have a good Ibaraki trip! :D
