Area of Activity 
We are based in the Tsukuba-Tsuchiura-Ami area in southern Ibaraki. Ang pinakamalapit na bundok ay Mount Tsukuba, at iba pang maliliit na bundok sa paligid.
Mount Tsukuba area:
Essentials 
- Hiking shoes: Ordinary walking shoes are okay for easy hikes, but hiking shoes and especially hiking boots offer more protection for the ankle.
- Water: For normal hikes, 1L or 2L water bottles can be bought on the way at convenience stores.
- Obento: Bring your own or buy obento/onigiri at the konbini.
- Clothes: Dress in layers (T-shirt (avoid cotton in cold weather, bring extra), long-sleeved shirts (non-collar and collared), jacket). Caps, beanies, gloves as needed.
Precautions 
Hiking is a reasonably safe activity. However, to prevent accidents it is wise to take the following common sense precautions (from the Ibaraki Prefectural Police webpage).
- Make a reasonable plan based on your physical strength, age, and skill level.
- Check the clothing and equipment needed for safe mountain climbing depending on the season.
- Check the latest weather information.
- Let your family or workplace know about your climbing course and when you will be home.
- Make sure you have a means of communication such as a mobile phone.
