Mito is the capital city of Ibaraki Prefecture, located approximately 100 kilometers northeast of Tokyo. The city has a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in Japanese history, particularly during the Edo period when it was the seat of the influential Mito Domain. The city is known for its intellectual legacy as the birthplace of the Mitogaku school of thought, which significantly influenced Japanese political philosophy in the late Edo period. Today, Mito maintains its cultural significance while functioning as a modern regional center.

The city is particularly famous for its Kairaku-en Garden, one of Japan's three most celebrated gardens, and its arts scene supported by various museums and cultural institutions. Mito also takes pride in its local specialty, natto (fermented soybeans), which has been a significant part of the region's culinary tradition.
