Watch out for wasps!
Fall is a dangerous time when wasps become aggressive. In particular, if there is little rainfall and high temperatures in summer, wasps are more likely to be present in large numbers. Wasp stings have been reported in the mountain areas of Ibaraki Prefecture.
Please be careful of wasps when you walk in the Hitachinokuni Long Trail.
