Saitama Prefecture has been flourishing as a place for trade and commerce since the olden days and is home to many culturally important spots, shrines, and temples. For example, in the Kawagoe area, you can enjoy the atmosphere of Tokyo from the Edo-period, rent a kimono, or visit Omiya, the holy land of bonsai, to truly come in contact with the essence of Japanese culture. There are many traditional Japanese crafts, such as Washi-paper and Japanese doll-making, that you can try out here as well. Visit Saitama and let yourself merge with the heart of Japanese culture!
