Kairakuen

Kairakuen in Mito reflects Tokugawa Nariaki's idea that study and recreation should complement one another. Plum trees give the garden its best-known seasonal identity, but its paths also invite a broader look at the landscape created for the Mito domain. Consider the garden and Kōbuntei as related parts of a visit, checking their separate entry arrangements.
