| - Legal Consultations Services (Houritsu Soudan) Sponsored by the Ibaraki Bar(Lawyers`) Association-Tsuchiura Branch. Tsukuba is a part of the Tsuchiura Judicial District. The Ibaraki Bar-Tsuchiura Branch provides paid face-to-face legal consultations with an attorney every Thursday, 10am-12pm,and 1-4pm. Appointments are required and are accepted only on Mondays from 9am-4pm by calling the Houritsu Soudan Senta phone number 0298-21-0122. When making an appointment, you'll be asked to give a brief summary of your consult. Fees are 5250 yen per 30 minutes. Come early and be prepared! Check in with reception and fill out form. Depending on scheduling, you might be allowed to go over your time limit with the attorney, provided they're willing to do it. If not, make the most of the 30 minutes you've paid for. When your time is up, that'll be it for the consult. Some Bar Association 's allow for paid time extensions. All fees are up front and in cash. Check with the reception counter or call the main phone number, your lawyer, and the internet for your legal consultation options. The Houritsu Soudan Senta is located across from Kijo Park, where the ruins of Tsuchiura Castle are. It's about a 15 minute walk from Urara and Tsuchiura Station(West side). Walk towards the UFJ Bank, Central Cinema, Family Mart, Kanto Bank, and the old 505 shopping arcade. Keep going and you'll eventually see the castle grounds-famous these days for being a prime cherry blossom festival site. The area surrounding the Tsuchiura Castle is sort of a government district, which includes the Bar Association, the Tsuchiura District & Family Court, and at the end, where the street intersects with Route 125, the fire department and police station. Near the castle's main gate is a red brick and glass 4-story building called Kijo Plaza. The Ibaraki Bar-Tsuchiura Branch rents out 2 rooms on the 3rd floor. Don't go there expecting Hollywood movie-type offices. Basement parking is available but very cramped. I recommend using the parking at Ito Yokado.
