Frequently asked questions
About Saitama
Saitama is a prefecture located in the Kanto region of Japan, just north of Tokyo. It is known for its beautiful parks, historic temples, and vibrant culture. The currency used in Saitama is the Japanese Yen. The prefecture offers a mix of modern city life and traditional Japanese charm, making it a great destination for all types of travelers.
When to visit
The best time to visit Saitama is during the spring months of March to May when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The weather is mild and pleasant, perfect for exploring the outdoor attractions. Summer (June to August) can be hot and humid, while autumn (September to November) offers colorful foliage. Winter (December to February) can be cold, but the snow-covered landscapes are picturesque.
Getting around
Getting around Saitama is easy thanks to its well-developed public transportation system. Trains and buses connect the major cities and attractions, making it convenient for visitors to explore the prefecture. Renting a car is also an option for those who prefer more flexibility in their itinerary. Taxis are readily available but can be expensive for long distances.
Traveller tips
When visiting Saitama, be sure to carry cash as many smaller establishments may not accept credit cards. Learn a few basic Japanese phrases to help you communicate with locals. Respect the local customs and traditions, such as removing your shoes before entering a home or temple. Make time to visit the Omiya Bonsai Village, a must-see for nature lovers. Don't forget to try the local specialty, Saitama's famous eel dishes.
