Saitama is famous for Saitama Super Arena. A lot of events are held in this building. For example, basketball games, music festivals, variety shows and so on. Also, coming-of-age-ceremony is held in Saitama Super Arena. Actually, I will go to this ceremony next year. Saitama Super Arena holds events frequently so you can go to there and can enjoy event.
Next, I want you to visit The Railway Museum near Omiya station. You can see many kinds of trains what were actually running in Japan in the past. I'm not familiar with the train but I was excited to see old trains, steam locomotives and the Shinkansen. If you are interested in trains, of course who are not, too, I strongly recommend The Railway Museum. You can enter for free and also can buy various goods.
Near The Railway Museum, there is Hikawa shrine (氷川神社）. There are some Hikawa shrine in Kanto region but this one is the head shrine of the sect. So its area is larger. It is good for taking a walk, I think.
Saitama will give you a warm welcome!

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Miyuki. Although I live in Saitama prefecture, I have never visited Saitama city. So I want to visit there. I'm interested in the Railway Museum and Saitama Super Arena. This arena is home for Urawa Reds, isn't it? I wish to watch Reds' Game!
