Since the Meiji 30s (1897), Mito has always had a big spring festival called "Mito Ume Flower Festival". The festival is held at none other than one of the three great gardens of Japan, "Kairakuen" and "Kodokan", which was the largest school of literature and martial arts in ancient Japan. Both of these places were recognized as "Contemporary Japanese Cultural and Educational Heritage" in 2015.
In the garden “Kairakuen”, there are about 3,000 plum trees with more than 100 different varieties. Meanwhile, in “Kodokan”, there are about 800 trees with more than 60 varieties that bloom every spring. Depending on the variety, some will bloom as early as mid-January, while others will bloom as early as early March. Therefore, here you can enjoy plum blossoms for a very long time.
