Mt.Tsukuba is dotted with many strange and mysterious rocks andstones, and you can climb the mountain while enjoying the legends
and folklore of each one. A huge rock hanging overhead, the“Benkei Nanamodori Rock” looks as if it might fall at any moment,
and made even Benkei, a long-ago warrior monk, hesitate to passunder it seven times.

Ropeway & Cable Car
The cable car climbs 500 meters in just
8 minutes. Riding on the ropeway
makes you feel as if you are walking in
the air. Here you can enjoy beautiful
scenery all year round.

This plum grove is located halfway up Mt.Tsukuba (about 250 meters
above sea level) and is one of the major attractions of the Mount Tsukuba
Regional Geopark. The 4.5-hectare plum grove on the slope of Mt.Tsukuba
has about 1,000 white and red plum trees. From Azumaya Lookout you
