Ibaraki is a quiet Japanese prefecture in northeastern Kanto with centuries of history living on in the numerous early-Edo-period shops, or misegura, still standing today. Though it is only about an hour train ride from Tokyo, Ibaraki’s rustic characteristics and incredibly well-preserved historical landmarks distinguish it from neighboring prefectures.
