Kairakuen garden was first built in 1841 by Tokugawa
Nariaki. It is one of the three most beautiful landscape
gardens in Japan alongside Kenrokuen and Korakuen.
Ever since its establishment, the garden was open for the
public to enjoy unlike the other two. The name Kairakuen
translates to “park to be enjoyed together.” This amazing
landscape garden can be found in Mito, the capital of
Ibaraki Prefecture.
Kairakuen is most known for the three thousand plum
trees of 100 varieties planted all over the grounds. The
season for the plum trees usually last from late February
to March. Throughout the year there are other flowers
you can see in the park. There is a cedar and bamboo
forest located on the grounds. In another area you can
stroll around and see the Kirishima azaleas, wisteria,
cherry blossoms, and lespedeza when they are in
season.
The Kabuntei is a three story Japanese traditional
building that was constructed by Tokugawa Nariaki. It
consists of a main house and annex. Nariaki would host
parties where he invited writers, artists, and local
residents to compose Japanese poetry. The original
building burned down due to an aerial strike in 1945, but
was later rebuilt and completed in 1958.
