Opened in 2026, this lakeside complex brings pitched-roof buildings and a central lawn to Lake Senba’s west shore. Combine a waterfront walk with a café, bakery or local-produce stop.

Before you set off

Opened on 23 April 2026. The photograph records 11 May 2026, not current shop openings, availability or activity operation.

Presented as a permanent lakeside destination, not as a dated festival or a guarantee that a temporary fair is running.

The city gives overall hours of 07:00–21:00; individual shops and facilities have different hours.

These are facility hours, not a statement of opening or closing times for every surrounding park path. Follow local path restrictions and check individual tenants for hours, prices and reservations.

Official facility FAQ

What to look for

  • The aerial photograph shows the complex and its waterside setting; this is not Kobuntei in Kairakuen Garden.
  • The city lists dining and shopping, a lawn and sports courts. Check each business or activity separately for opening and booking conditions.

JR Mito Station → your visit

  1. At bus stand 6 outside Mito Station’s north exit, check for a service stopping at Senbako or Mito Koubun Terrace.
  2. Alight at either stop, immediately beside the complex. Alternatively, the city estimates about a 30-minute walk from Mito Station.

Do not assume every service from stand 6 follows the same route. Recheck destination, stops, timetable and fare for your date. This route does not take visitors to the aerial camera position.

Official access

Still to verify for your visit
  • Visit-day hours, closures and prices for each tenant
  • Booking rules or availability for sports, sauna and other activities; this card does not promise bookable activities
  • Individual releases for incidental people or sculptures; municipal terms do not warrant all third-party rights.

A dated photograph does not establish present access, weather, availability or individual permissions.
