Hitachiomiya

Hitachiōmiya extends across 348 square kilometers at the eastern foot of the Yamizo Mountains, where the Kuji River flows through its eastern section.

The establishment of Ōmiya town in Naka District occurred on April 1, 1889, leading to its transformation into Hitachiōmiya city through municipal mergers in 2004.

The agricultural heritage of Hitachiōmiya shapes the daily life of its residents, with local farming practices passed down through generations in the region.

The JR East Suigun Line connects Hitachiōmiya to neighboring areas, while National Routes 118, 123, and 293 provide road access throughout the prefecture.

The population density of 220 persons per square kilometer reflects the expansive natural environment, with forests covering 59 percent of the municipal territory.
