Saitama Vacations

Even if you're the most spontaneous adventurer, it's still a good idea to learn a little about Saitama before you take off. Highlight it on your map, write down what you can do there and let the fun begin!

To help get you oriented, Saitama is located 17 miles (27 kilometers) to the north of the notable city of Tokyo.

You can forget about the big-name sights — it's the locals that really make a place tick. In this part of Kanto, you'll find 1,200,000 of them.

Places to visit in Saitama

It's not important whether you're a brilliant musician or decidedly tone deaf. When you visit John Lennon Museum you'll go home with a deeper appreciation for the power of melody. Want some more ideas? Hikawa Shrine is a spiritual place for many locals. While there, take advantage of your surroundings and enjoy some quiet contemplation. But that's not all. Even on a rainy day, it's worthwhile taking a walk through Omiya Park. Just open your umbrella and breathe in the fresh earthy smell.
