Why go

The Mito domain’s school, opened in 1841, where samurai studied letters, medicine and the martial arts; the main building and gate survive. 09:00–17:00, from October to 19 February 09:00–16:30; closed 29–31 December. Adult ¥420.

Why it earns the hours
  • Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr 30 min door to door.
Before you count on it
  • Closed 29–31 December. Check the day before you plan around it.
  • 1 hr 30 min door to door needs a 3.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
