幕末の勉強に来ました

尊皇攘夷の先駆の藩、水戸藩の詳しい資料があるかなと思い来ましたが、市販の歴史書の方が詳しいですね。どちらかというと明治以降や石器時代の方が広くスペースを取っているようです。更にほとんどが撮影禁止です。少し残念ですね。
夕暮れのイチョウ並木の散歩道

夕方に訪れたのですが、ちょうど夕日に照らされて綺麗なイチョウや旧水戸農高、旧水海道小の学び舎がありフォトジェニックでした。１８時からのライトアップは混みそうだったので見ずに帰りました。
水戸観光の穴場

偕楽園も常盤神社もシーズン中は大変混みあいますが、ここはだいたい空いてます(笑)でも明治時代？の西洋風木造建築の外観も素敵だし、展示物も茨城県のいろはがたくさんあり、観光客にも地元客にもおすすめです。とてもノスタルジックな雰囲気をたのしめますよ-
