Stroll through Mito and encounter the beauty of history and nature

Stroll through Mito and encounter the beauty of history and nature Mito City in Ibaraki Prefecture, Kanto, Japan, is like a gentle pearl, exuding a unique charm. Mito has a long history and is the origin of the Mito Tokugawa family. The magnificent and solemn Mito Toshogu Shrine was built in memory of Tokugawa Ieyasu. The architectural style combines gorgeousness and simplicity, and the exquisite carvings and brilliant colors all show the exquisite traditional Japanese architectural art, making people immersed in the past. The natural landscape is also a highlight of Mito. Kairakuen, one of the three most famous gardens in Japan, is a perfect blend of nature and culture. There are more than 3,000 plum trees planted in the garden. Every February and March, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink and white sea of flowers is like a poem or a painting, attracting many tourists to come for a romantic date with the plum blossoms. The plum blossom festival held at this time is even more lively. In addition, the food in Mito is also not to be missed. The local specialty Mito natto has a unique taste and is rich in nutrients; the old fish hot pot has tender fish and rich soup, which is unforgettable. A trip to Mito will definitely give you an unforgettable travel experience.
