Hitachinaka, Coastal city in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan
Located 110 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, Hitachinaka stretches along the Pacific Ocean coastline with numerous beaches and parklands covering its terrain.
The formation of Hitachinaka occurred in 1994 through the merger of Nakaminato and Katsuta cities, establishing a new municipal entity in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The city maintains traditional fishing practices along its coast while celebrating local festivals that highlight Japanese maritime heritage throughout the year.
Katsuta Station connects Hitachinaka to Tokyo via the JR East Joban Line, providing regular rail service for commuters and travelers.
Hitachi Seaside Park displays fields of blue nemophila flowers in spring, creating a natural blue carpet across 3.5 hectares of land.
