Geocache Description:


Iwase rest station

There was a 40-kilometer railway connecting between Tsuchiura and Iwase stations in the old days. It is said that trains running against a background of Mt. Tsukuba were popular among the railway fans. However, the railway was abolished in 1987 unfortunately. The railway site has been now reused as a cycling path called Tsukuba Rin-Rin road. The road is now used for recreation healthfully. Of course, it is also used for daily life such as commuting and shopping.

By the way, I placed a cache at the Iwase rest station near the JR station. There is a free parking lot. You will enjoy cycling or trekking to Tsukuba mountains from here.

岩瀬休憩所

かつて土浦駅と岩瀬駅を結ぶ全長40キロほどの筑波鉄道がありました。筑波山を背景に田園のなかを走る列車は人気があったそうです。しかし残念ながら1987年に廃止されました。そして廃線跡地は、つくばりんりんロードと呼ばれる県道501号桜川土浦自転車道線となりました。今では健康で快適なレクリエーションの場として、また通勤・通学・買い物などの日常生活に使われる自転車道となっています。

さて、このキャッシュはJR岩瀬駅近くの岩瀬休憩所に設置しました。ここには無料駐車場があります。ここを起点にすると、サイクリングや筑波連山の縦走を楽しむことができるかと思います。
