Kairakuen Station (偕楽園駅, Kairakuen-eki) is a passenger railway station on the Jōban Line in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).[1]

It is a "seasonal" station which serves the nearby Kairaku-en gardens, and is open only during the plum blossom season in February and March. Some Hitachi and Tokiwa limited express services also stop at the station during this period.[2]
