Mito, Capital city in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan
The city extends over 217 square kilometers near Tokyo and features Lake Senba at its center with residential areas surrounding the water body.
The Mito domain gained importance in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established it as a base for one of his three branch families during the Edo Period.
The Museum of Modern Art contains over 3,000 artworks from Japanese and international creators, while hosting multiple exhibitions throughout each year.
Travelers reach Mito from Tokyo in 75 minutes using limited express trains that arrive at the central station near the main shopping districts.
Kairakuen Garden holds 3,000 plum trees of different varieties, making it the largest concentration of plum trees in a Japanese public garden.
