About This Destination

A former Mito domain school with surviving historic buildings and plum trees near Mito Station.

Kodokan introduces the education of the Mito domain’s samurai through the buildings of its former school. The low wooden structures offer a quieter counterpoint to the larger gardens at Kairakuen. Plum trees make late winter and early spring a useful time to combine the two places, although flowering varies each year. Its position near Mito Station also suits a shorter city stop.
