Saitama Prefecture

Saitama Prefecture (埼玉県, Saitama-ken) offers a unique blend of urban convenience and natural beauty just north of Tokyo. While southeastern Saitama, including the capital, Saitama City, serves as a bustling suburb of Tokyo, the western region is a serene escape filled with mountains and the scenic Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. This diverse landscape makes Saitama a perfect destination for both city dwellers and nature enthusiasts.

Visitors can explore the historic charm of Kawagoe, a former castle town known for its traditional buildings and vibrant culture. Don't miss the breathtaking Chichibu region, famous for its lively night festival in December, where stunning floats and local traditions come alive. Saitama Prefecture promises an unforgettable experience, blending history, culture, and outdoor adventure.
