A suburban area of Tokyo rich in nature and with many tourist sites
Area Characteristics
Saitama is an inland prefecture with more than 7 million people. With an area of 3,797km2（1,466mile2）, it is bigger than the 179th-biggest nation of Samoa（2,842km2＝1,097mile2）. Access to the southern part of the prefecture which includes Omiya and Urawa is excellent as a bedroom community of Tokyo while the northern area which includes the city of Chichibu has plenty of nature.
Major Sites
Saitama Prefecture has Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park among many other sightseeing sites to enjoy nature including the downstream area of Nagatoro Gorge. Along with the landmarks of Saitama New Urban Center and Saitama Super Arena, there is a great variety of spots to see such as The Railway Museum, Bonsai Village and Kawagoe which has been dubbed “Little Edo”.
Food
Soka senbei (rice crackers), Kawagoe potato cakes and Kumagaya gokabo sweets are the 3 famous confections of Saitama. Furthermore, the prefecture is also famous as a treasure house for its comfort food including Kitamoto tomato curry which won a national curry contest, Hatogaya yakiudon (fried udon noodles) which has been recognized as one of the Top 5 yakiudon in Japan, and a form of karaage (deep-fried chicken) whose breading is made from Soka senbei. As well, there is Sayama tea which is among the Top 3 teas in the country and Coedo beer from Kawagoe which has even won acclaim abroad.
Transportation
There are 15 railways operated by JR and private corporations going from Tokyo into Saitama, so these are recommended over buses and cars. It’s customary to take the train from Tokyo Station for Omiya via Ueno or go through Ikebukuro to reach Kawagoe and Chichibu. Although Saitama has plenty of north-south lines, it has a dearth of east-west lines so if you are considering touring through the prefectural sightseeing spots, renting a car is convenient.

Kawagoe is known locally as Koedo or Coedo or Little Edo and as you explore the city you can feel almost like you’ve stepped back in time to another era, a total contrast of modern city of Tokyo.
Kawagoe is an easy 30 minute train ride from Ikebukuro station in Tokyo on the Tobu Railway line.
Kawagoe AKA Little Edo -Tokyo Day Trip Vlog
Kawagoe is a great place to check out, if you want to see a bit of traditional Japan without travelling far out of Tokyo. Kawagoe is in Saitama Prefecture and have a bunch of interesting attractions or sightseeing places, so it makes for a good Tokyo Day Trip.
We checked out the bell of time, kurazukuri, and the kashiya yokocho or Confectionery row?
Kawagoe became a booming area for Japanese desserts and/or candy after the Great Kanto Earthquake rocked most of the Kanto area. There most famous confectioneries are mostly potato based.
Due to the old warehouses architecture, Kawagoe is often refered to as Little Edo or Little Tokyo.
Let us know how you liked this little travel guide, I'm trying to find a balance between the history and the more simple introduction tokyo vlogs we've been doing lately. Also did you see samurai obama? What did you think? Like it? Hate it?
