Kobuntei

Reviewed By Stephan1954 - The Hague, The Netherlands

The Kobuntei is in the park and one has to pay a small entrance fee. After taking ones shoes off, you follow the signs and so see all accessible spaces. Certainly worth a visit.

2. Kairakuen Park

Kairakuen Park

Also known as the Tokiwa garden, this land was originally a plum orchard belonging to Tokugawa Nariakira. Converted into public property in 1840 and renamed Kairakuen, this park is now recognized as one of the top three gardens in Japan.

We took a train to Mito station and walked along Senba lakeside to Kairakuen Park. You could also take a bus there if you choose not to walk. It was a pleasant walk in spring. Although cherry blossoms were not at the peak, plum blossoms were in full bloom and the park was a fairyland of colours. It was enjoyable to walk around the park and very doable. We took a bus back to Mito station after our visit.

Semba Boadwalk

Reviewed By PaulSiow - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

We had a nice, cool and pleasant walk along the lakeside of Senba lake in early spring. Cherry blossoms had just started to bloom and not at their peak yet but plum blossoms were just after the peak. Good recommended walk here. Can see many locals walking or jogging for exercise.
