Introduction to Saitama City
Speaking of Saitama City, do you remember that it was originally divided into four cities: Urawa, Omiya, Yono, and Iwatsuki? It became what it is today in 2005!
It’s interesting that each area within Saitama City still has its own unique characteristics as a remnant of that time!
When I think of Urawa, I immediately remember the soccer team “Urawa Red Diamonds”! It’s a historic J1 professional soccer club!
Omiya is famous for Hikawa Shrine. It’s well-known for its blessings of matchmaking and healing, and it seems to be popular as a power spot!
It’s a power spot! I definitely want to visit it when I’m in Omiya!
Between Omiya and Urawa is Yono. It seems to have a lot of residential areas, but Yono Park is loved by the townspeople and has been selected as one of the “100 Nature Spots in Saitama”!
It’s beautiful with roses, and every year the “Rose Festival” is held around May.
Having a park with blooming roses near home would make walks so much more enjoyable!
Lastly, let’s talk about Iwatsuki. It has been famous since ancient times as one of Japan’s leading doll production areas, and recently, “European vegetables” and “Iwatsuki gourmet” have also become well-known!
I’m curious about the gourmet food!!
It seems like walking around Saitama City would offer various experiences.
