Make the Most of Your Saitama Stay

A gateway beyond Tokyo

Saitama City functions as more than a commuter hub—it's where Japan's railway heritage, centuries-old bonsai tradition, and modern event infrastructure converge. The Omiya district anchors the city with its Shinkansen connections and the Railway Museum, where 36 historic trains and interactive simulators chronicle Japan's engineering evolution. Minutes away, the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum and surrounding village preserve living artistry dating to 1923, when Tokyo's master gardeners relocated here. The ancient Hikawa Shrine, established in the 5th century, presides over a 2-kilometer zelkova-lined approach.

Culinary heritage and modern venues

Urawa's celebrated unagi tradition stretches back to the Edo period—restaurants like Mandana, founded in 1886, maintain these techniques today. The Shintoshin district presents a different face: Saitama Super Arena hosts international concerts and conventions, surrounded by contemporary shopping at COCOON CITY. Business travelers appreciate direct Tokyo access (25 minutes by Shinkansen) while enjoying the city's less crowded, more manageable scale.

Practical connections

Omiya Station serves as your central point, with Suica cards accepted throughout. Haneda Airport connects via 70-minute train or direct limousine bus. Kawagoe's historic streets and Chichibu's mountain shrines make worthwhile excursions. Members can apply miles toward accommodations near Omiya Station, positioning between Tokyo's energy and Saitama's distinctive cultural offerings.
