Spring in Mito begins with the ume blossoms—. As the weather softens in early spring, the blossoms opening here and there herald the arrival of an early spring. Boasting a history of over 120 years, the "Mito Ume Festival" is held at Kairakuen, one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, and Kodokan, one of the largest domain schools in Japan. Why not take a floral journey, enticed by the fragrance of early spring?
Dates are based on the organizers' announcements and may change with the weather or the bloom. Please check the official information before you go.
