Ibaraki prefectural government

The Ibaraki Prefectural Government building stands at 978-6 Kasahara-cho in Mito, coordinating services for 2.9 million residents across the northeastern Kanto region.

The institution emerged after the 1871 reorganization that transformed the former Hitachi Province into the modern Ibaraki Prefecture, establishing its administrative center in Mito.

The government offices support local traditions through programs promoting Aikido martial arts, plum garden preservation, and the maintenance of Kashima Shrine ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the government offices via two main railway lines, with direct trains from Tokyo taking 72 minutes to Mito station.

The prefectural government leads Japan's largest science city development in Tsukuba, managing 29 research institutes and international technology partnerships.
