Do you know about Ibaraki Prefecture?
Ibaraki Prefecture is located in the northeastern part of the Kantō region, between Tochigi Prefecture and the Pacific Ocean.
Agriculture, fishing, and livestock farming are vital sectors in the prefecture. Thanks to vast flat areas, abundant rivers, and a suitable climate, Ibaraki is among the prefectures with the highest agricultural production in Japan. Notable products include melons, pears, peppers, and cabbage, as well as various rice varieties, natto (fermented soybeans), konjac, and various dried products like the famous sweet potatoes.
Since 1987, the Ibaraki Prefecture has established relationships with the Emilia-Romagna Region, particularly in the cultural field.
