Welcome to MITO!
Mito City is located at the heart of Ibaraki Prefecture, the northeast of Tokyo, and full of natural and cultural attractions. Once flourishing as the base for the Mito Family, one of the three most important family branches of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the prefectural capital is a less known place to see the cultural tradition passed down for generations and the livelihood of ordinary people that remain vibrant today. Let us unfold its rich history, culture and nature that have long been kept within the region.
