Location of Ibarakis in Ibaraki Prefecture

Ibaraki ( jap. 茨城町 Ibaraki-machi ) is a town (- machi ) in the district (-gun) East Ibaraki ( Higashi-Ibaraki ) of the Japanese prefecture (ken) Ibaraki . It is located in the center a little off the coast of Ibaraki on the west bank of the brackish water Hinuma ( 涸 沼 ), immediately south of the capital Mito . The Hinuma River (-gawa) flows through the city from the west and feeds the lake.

The city of Ibaraki was founded in 1955 through the amalgamation of Nagaoka City , Kawane Villages , Kaminoai from East Ibaraki County and Numasaki Village from Kashima County . In 1958, the village of Ishizaki in the northeast was incorporated, which means that the city reached its current size, apart from minor border corrections.
