Saitama

Benefiting from the large flow of people from Tokyo, Saitama prefecture has been able to grow and develop without compromising its rich cultural history. With a wide variety of activities and venues to engage with, like watching baseball in Saitama Stadium, obsessing over J-Pop in Saitama Super Arena, or climbing mountains to visit shrines; there are many ways to have fun in Saitama. And with plenty of museums, festivals, and former castles, there is no shortage of ancient culture for you to learn about. If you are interested in nature, the Chichibu area in particular is worth checking out.
