From the Meiji period onwards, industrialisation progressed, and companies such as Hitachi moved into the city, developing it into an industrial city.
Hitachinaka City's most famous tourist spot is Hitachi Seaside Park, a vast park filled with beautiful flowers that bloom in every season, attracting many tourists.
In spring, the hills are dyed blue by the nemophila flowers, creating a truly breathtaking sight.
In autumn, the bright red leaves of the kochia are a popular seasonal sight.
