Surrounding Urban Areas are the urban areas that developed as the center of life in the former towns and villages before the merger （ Hojo, Oda, Osone, Yoshinuma, Kamigo, Sakae, Yatabe, Takamihara ） and other areas.

This area is called "peripheral urban area" because it is located in the periphery of Tsukuba City.
