 Tsukuba is located in a region that was originally farm land. It was converted to a "Science City" by the
 Japanese Government almost 40years ago. Large area of farm lands were purchased by the government
 and many research institutions all around Japan were moved here one after another, including Tsukuba
 University.
 There are not many historical points of interest worth seeing within a walking distance from the center
 of the city. A day trip with a car will get you to wide variety of things to see, however. Nikko Toshogu
 Shrine, Kashima Shrine to name a few. Public transportation is very limited for sightseeing around this
 town.
