Mito City Water Tower, Water tower in Mito, Japan.
The Mito City Water Tower rises over 70 feet tall with triangular windows, decorative reliefs, and Gothic-style architectural elements throughout its concrete structure.
Built in 1932, engineer Tsurumatsu Goto designed this water tower as part of a modernization project that divided Mito into two distribution zones.
The tower features the Japanese character for water (水) on its facade, connecting the structure to both its function and the city name of Mito.
Located within a 15-minute walk from Mito Station's north exit, the water tower sits in a park with restored Edo-period rock gutters.
The engineer named his daughter Tomiko, meaning tower-beauty-child, to commemorate the completion of this architectural project in 1932.
