Site of Mito Castle

Little remains of Mito Castle, which was badly damaged during the Boshin War (1868-1869), further during the Meiji Period and again damaged during World War II. On the Ote Bridge, dating from the 1930's across the street from Kodokan, are miniature statues of Nariaki and Torifusa Tokugawa and walking east brings you to the Yakuimon Gate in the grounds of Mito Daisan High School, which has survived from the original structures of Mito Castle.
