# Kodokan Mito Domain School

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

- Prefecture: Ibaraki
- Type: Historic site
- Address: Mito, Ibaraki, Japan
- Official site: https://kodokan-ibaraki.jp/

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.
