The Kuji River, flowing through northern Ibaraki Prefecture, offers scenic beauty and recreational opportunities. Originating near the Fukushima border, it winds through towns like Daigo and Hitachiomiya before reaching the Pacific Ocean. Known for its clear waters and surrounding landscapes, the river is a popular spot for fishing (especially for Ayu sweetfish), birdwatching, and enjoying the natural scenery. The best time to visit is during the warmer months to fully appreciate the outdoor activities and views. The area around Daigo, including the Okukuji Daigo Tourism Yan, provides excellent spots for enjoying Ayu cuisine and riverside views.
