Wasn't worth the time and ¥200. There was barely any "art" inside the tower. The observation deck had small round windows which were barely as big as a basketball. Looks like the shape of the tower is supposed to be the "art" but in daylight it just looked a bit rusty. Looked great in the nighttime pictures which they had in the lobby so do not go there during the day, I guess? Frankly I'd rather pour hot water and watch my cup noodles cook. Wouldn't recommend.

I took the 500 Yen tour that includes a tour of theater, concert hall and part of the gallery plus a complimentary coffee. Nice place but not jaw dropping. They were repairing the sound system and it was not a very photogenic sight. The tower looks best at night with the illumination but you can view that for free from outside. The tower is designed in the shape of a DNA and while impressive, there is nothing to do inside the tower.

It's an amazing place to visit at night! The area is surrounded by colorfull light and the tower sparkles. You can't ascend it at night. But that's ok!

On clear sky days we can watch the entire Mito city from the top of the Art tower.

Great and pretty to look at from afar!

great view of Mito, only 200 yen to go up top!

This is a contemporary museum of art. English information is available. When I went, the exhibition being shown was titled something along the lines of a Future World, a world without humans. Check out Art Tower Mito's webpage to see current exhibitions.

Awesome old style theater, was fortunate enough to sit on the third floor. Looked like great seating all around. Went up into the art tower afterwards and enjoyed the view and unique architecture.

(Translated by Google) What is a mixed cultural facility? A concert? An exhibition? Then a building? A tower? When there is an earthquake, you can see a video on NHK. You can see that this is Mito. Is it Mito's symbol mark? I wonder what Mito thinks. (Original) 複合文化施設って何? コンサート？ 展覧会? それから、建物? 塔? とにかく目立ちます。地震があったときに、NHKで映像がでますね。これ見て水戸なんだってわかります。水戸のシンボルマークなんでしょうか。水戸の方はどう思っているのかなぁ。

(Translated by Google) While the local coconuts that were created during the bubble period are struggling to manage, they have launched their own projects and are doing their best. The halls, theaters, museums, and towers are not fancy but they are simple (it looks like they're actually pretty elaborate ...). It is also selling here that there is no biased killer content. (Original) バブル期にできた地方のハコモノが運営に苦しむ中、ここは独自の企画をたくさん立ち上げて、とてもがんばってる。 ホールも劇場も美術館もタワーも派手ではなく質素（のように見えて、実はかなり凝っている…）そこがイイ。偏ったキラーコンテンツがないことも、ここの売り。

(Translated by Google) The building is amazing! The garden is spacious and you can relax. (Original) 建物の作りがすごい！ 庭も広々していてゆっくりできます。

Amazing a work of art

Nice place for just sitting and relaxing 😊

Contemporary art museum. 15 minutes from station.

A very calm and quite surrounding.

The art tower and grounds is a very pleasant space. It was affected by the 2011 earthquake so its best to check the official website for up-to-date information.

Excellent contemporary art museum. There is a year pass for the gallery for 2000 yen which is well worth it.

Fantastic

(Translated by Google) This is a beautiful hall with a dignified sound. (Original) 凛とした響きの美しいホールです。

(Translated by Google) Complex facilities such as museums and concert halls. This was my first visit since an outdoor movie was being played around late summer. The movie while lying on the lawn was amazing. It was very fun except that there were few parking lots nearby and the access from the station was not very good. (Original) 美術館、コンサートホール等の複合施設。晩夏くらいに屋外映画上映がやっていたので初めて来場。芝生広場に寝転びながらなの映画は最高でした。近くに駐車場が少なく、駅からのアクセスがあまり良くないこと以外はとても楽しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The concert hall sounds beautiful at any position. (Original) コンサートホールはどの位置でも綺麗に響きます。

(Translated by Google) I went to the Hagen Quartet concert. The hall is medium sized, but the sound was good. Some offered coffee, and drank coffee before the concert. I visited from Kanagawa, but there was a parking lot, and there was a coin parking nearby, so I was saved.

(Translated by Google) Mito Tower? I climbed for the first time. 200 yen. It's a rainy weather and you can see far away. It would be interesting if it was sunny. Café of the art museum, cappuccino of Saza and general cafe latte are artistic. The bubble picture does not disappear until you have finished drinking. Shogun latte is a matcha bowl (Original) 水戸タワー?初めて登った。200円。 雨がちの天気で遠望きかす…晴れていたら面白いだろうな。 芸術館のカフェ、Sazaのカプチーノと将軍カフェラテが、芸術的。泡の絵が飲み終えりまで消えない。 将軍カフェラテは、抹茶の器になみなみと❣️
