Inashiki

Inashiki is an agricultural city in Ibaraki Prefecture that spreads across farmland, residential areas, and natural landscapes. The city sits near Lake Kasumigaura and features a mix of rural and developed zones.

The city was formed in 2005 through the merger of three towns and one village, marking a turning point in local administration. This process brought together previously separate administrative areas into a single unit.

The Edosaki Gion Festival draws residents each year with traditional performances that shape community life. These celebrations serve as a gathering point for local customs and connect people through shared experiences.

The city lacks direct train service but is connected by regular buses to neighboring cities. Access to Narita International Airport is available through local transportation options.

The area produces specialized farm products such as lotus roots, figs, and kabocha pumpkins. These crops shape the appearance of the local landscape and contribute to the regional food supply.
