(Translated by Google) Two F4J Phantoms are on display. You can see it up close. It must be a very valuable place. Parking is free and there are restrooms. Good to stop by (Original) F4J ファントムが2機展示されている 間近でまじまじと見れる。なかなか貴重な場所なのではないか。 駐車場は無料だし、トイレもあるし。ぶらっと立ち寄るのに良い

(Translated by Google) A park with an F-4 fighter jet on display. Although it is a park, there is no play equipment and it is an outdoor exhibition spot for F-4 fighter jets. When I see a cool fighter plane, even as an adult, my boyish heart is tickled and my curiosity is aroused. (Original) F-4戦闘機が展示してある公園。公園とは言っても遊具は無くF-4戦闘機の屋外展示スポットとなっている。カッコ良い戦闘機を見ると大人となった自分の目にも男の子心をくすぐられ好奇心を掻き立てられる。

(Translated by Google) I used it on my way to Okinawa. Everything from check-in to boarding is smooth and convenient. I appreciate the free parking, but it took me a while to find a space. It may be time to expand. (Original) 沖縄行で利用しました。チェックインから搭乗までスムーズ、便利さは相変わらずです。無料駐車場はありがたいけど、空きを探すのに時間がかかりました。そろそろ拡張が必要かも。

Art Museum & Library, Ota

Libraries
The Art Museum & Library in Ota is a modern and airy public building that houses a museum with changing exhibitions, as well as a cafe and gift shop. Adjacent to the station, it features a great little but slightly expensive cafe that serves good coffee. The library itself is small yet peaceful, sharing space with the art gallery. Additionally, there are Subaru merchandise for sale, paying homage to its early production and manufacturing location in Gunma.
Right next to the station, with a great little cafe ( bit pricey ) but good coffee. The building itself is great, and if I could I'd be there most weekends snuggled down enjoying the atmosphere. Didn't go in the art gallery but the library ( which is pretty much fused with the gallery spatially ) was great.

A small peaceful library with a cafe and state of the art building. If you're a Subaru fans, there are some merchandise on sale too. Ota in Gunma where the very early production and manufacturing of Subaru is located.

A library and museum spirals into a spatial labyrinth, and interconnected volumes.
WM — Google review
This is a brand new public facility from 2017. It has modern architecture and a large number of books focusing on the visual and fine arts. If you are researching art or graphic design, there are many resources available. There is also an art gallery, although there is an entrance fee and we didn't see that part of the building.
Ken Remaly — Google review
Great place to relax with a book and grab a cup of coffee. You can sit on pillows, chairs, and stools throughout the building or on the grassy knolls on the roof.
Nikkita Kent — Google review
A great selection of art books and a wonderful place to escape the heat.

1 hour flight from Kobe Airport. Around this airport are some places to be visited. With the car rent provided here, You can visit many of them within a day.

Small airport and not many people using this airport. Mainly domestic flight but they also has some short distance international flights such as to Korea, and China. There are only few souvenir shops and small café. This airport is also being used by the Japanese air force.

This is a very compact, regional airport. Huge parking lot in front of the one terminal building they have. You park the car (free) and walk over to the building. Check in counter for Skymark is right next to security. On the second floor they have a small food corner and gift shops. There are shuttle buses running to Tokyo. No 🚆 train connections though!
Lothar Blauert — Google review
An airport with almost no planes. Only a few commercial flights a day but you can watch the Japanese Air force buzzing around in loud jets. There's a good observation deck and dining area overlooking the runway. Parking is free. Buses run to Tokyo and a few other places.
Fred Varcoe — Google review
There is free WIFI in the airport, but no place to charge your mobiles. There are IBARAKIsouvenirs, but no JAPAN souvenirs. Only Seicomart (convenience store) and Suginoya (family restaurant) are available for meals. There is no free water server. The parking lot for passengers, where you can park for a few days, is the closest to the airport, and the parking lot for visitors, where you can park for a few minutes, is the furthest away. Buses to Tokyo must be booked in advance. I have seen airports in many countries, but I have never seen such a great use of budget.
仁平典秀 — Google review
Compact, simple and easy. Not that crowded as an airport, except the free parking. Seems you can get bus tickets to Tokyo station for ¥500 with discount (if you take flights to Ibaraki AP)

Excellent place for family and friends gathering and picnic. They have stone barbecue that you can hire and cook your food. Benches are large enough to fit 6 people, but there is plenty of room around the barbecue itself to sit as well. Lots of parking spaces very close distance and little playground for kids and lots of space for them to run wild 😂.

(Translated by Google) The cosmos field in 2023 is disappointing. I have set up a vast cosmos field, but it is sparse and there are too many weeds. I would like to have a little more control over this. (Original) 2023年のコスモス畑はがっかりです。せっかく広大なコスモス畑を設定しているのですが、まばらで雑草が多すぎます。もう少し管理していただきたいものです。

(Translated by Google) This was on September 20th, and I thought the cosmos would be coming to an end, so I stopped by. There was no particular parking lot, so I went all the way to the back and happened to have a space that could fit a light car, so I parked it there for 1 o'clock. It was still before 6 o'clock, so I was able to see the cosmos reflected in the morning dew, making for an impressive photo. I'm glad. (Original) 9月20日のものですが、コスモスも終盤を迎えると思いましたので立ち寄りしました。駐車場が特になかったので奥まで進んで軽自動車が一台すっぽり入れるスペースがたまたま有ったので1時置きしました。 まだ6時前でしたので、朝露に映えたコスモスが見られて感動の一枚となりました。よかったです。

(Translated by Google) I went to see the cherry blossoms. I had planned to go to a certain Hitachi Fudoki Hill, but there was a lot of traffic at the parking lot, so I gave up and stopped at this place on my way back. It wasn't crowded and I had a very comfortable stay. The rapeseed flowers were blooming at the bottom and it was very beautiful. There were about 5 or 6 types of play equipment, and the children played without getting bored. We also played ball in the corner of the baseball field. (Original) お花見に行きました。某常陸風土記の丘に行こうと計画していたのですが、駐車場までかなり渋滞していて、諦めて引き返す途中にあったこちらに立ち寄らせて貰いました。 混雑もなくとても快適に過ごしました。 下の方に菜の花も咲いていてとてもきれいでした。遊具も5,6種類程あり、子供達も飽きることなく遊んでいました。野球場の隅をかりて、ボール遊びもしました。
