Kairakuen, Japanese garden in Mito, Japan
The Kairakuen Garden contains 3,000 plum trees of 100 different varieties spread across 13 hectares of landscaped grounds near Lake Senba.
The ninth feudal lord of Mito Domain, Tokugawa Nariaki, established Kairakuen Garden in 1842 as a space for both nobility and common citizens.
The garden's name originates from the Chinese classic Mencius, emphasizing the concept of sharing pleasure between the lord and his people.
The garden opens its gates free of charge on dates containing the numbers 3 and 8 each month, following a tradition from the Edo period.
Kairakuen Garden features the Kobuntei villa, a three-story wooden structure with different architectural styles on each floor for various seasonal activities.
