Facility Introduction

Kairakuen is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan, along with Kenrokuen in Kanazawa and Korakuen in Okayama.

The garden was opened in 1842 by Tokugawa Nariaki, the ninth lord of the Mito domain, with the desire to create a place that he and his subjects could enjoy together.

There are about 3,000 plum trees of about 100 varieties planted, and the park is bustling with visitors who come to see the plum blossoms. The park is decorated with seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms, azaleas, bush clover, and bi-seasonal cherry blossoms in early winter.
