Note: This event has already passed.

Let’s enjoy watching and walking through plum blossoms at Mito Kairakuen. It’s located in Ibaraki prefecture and was built relatively recently in 1841 by the local lord Tokugawa Nariyuki. Ranked among Japan’s finest landscape gardens, Kairakuen is most famous for its over 3,000 plum trees. After that, we will take you to Tomobe SA for lunch then Ushiku Buddha. It’s 328 feet (100 meters) tall and you will be overwhelmed once you get to close to it.

Wear: Comfortable shoes and clothing to walk around.

Bring: Rain gear, Yen for lunch and anything you may need.
