Sorry for the long wait for a new post! I’ve got a bunch queued up now, so you should get regular posts through the new year! Ibaraki’s fifth postcard is Rokkakudo, a hexagonal building looking over the coast in Kita Ibaraki, and is officially known as Kanrantei. It was actually swept out to sea in the March 2011 tsunami, but was rebuilt in the same style. You can read more about Rokkakudo here.
My first visit to Rokkakudo about 2 years ago was unsuccessful as it was closed because of a holiday. I got a blurry picture of the building from a spot further down the coast, and had to go home disappointed. This time around I not only got the chance to see the building up close, but I also walked around to find a good spot to view the building from.

And a close up from my spot on the coast
Rokkakudo and Fukuroda Waterfall are close enough to see together in one day. Enjoy Ibaraki!
