Saitama 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Omiya Aobaen Aobaen in Saitama has cute corridor decorations. The corridor decorations are decorated with votive plaques, wind chimes, fans, Teru Teru Bozu.....various decorations for each season, and I heard that they have been replaced with fans and flower water basins that give off a Japanese atmosphere, so I went there right away. Honestly, wind chimes are becoming more common all over the country, but this is the first time I've seen a fan...!!🤣 I was surprised at how cute they were lol←sorry The staff installed them by hand, and on rainy days they removed them, and I was surprised at how carefully they were maintained...!At the back of the corridor is a three-story pagoda, and next to it across the lawn is a flower water basin🌼Not only that, you can also enjoy various seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms, dogwoods, and wisteria in the garden. By the way, the wisteria is about 700 years old and is also designated as a natural monument designated by Saitama Prefecture🌼🤍 It's empty even on holidays and has a calm atmosphere, so I recommend it!

#Indoor Good Places A friend who just came back from a trip to Tokyo strongly recommended that we take MM to the Saitama Railway Museum in Japan. We decided to visit this attraction on our last day in Tokyo. The Saitama Railway Museum in Japan is a museum dedicated to the history and technology of railways. The museum displays various train carriages, locomotives and railway equipment, allowing visitors to get a close look at the development of trains. The museum also has a model railway display area where visitors can observe scaled-down trains running on tracks. In addition, the museum also provides various interactive experiences, such as riding a retro train and operating a driving simulator (since the age of the experience must be over 13 years old, this time MM's father experienced driving a steam train) The Saitama Railway Museum not only shows the past of railways to the public, but also witnesses the development of Japan's railway industry. 💥Exciting content💥 ✅Display 42 powerful real vehicles ✅Children can make an appointment to use the "Simulator" and "Mini Driving Train" to experience the simulation operation of railway vehicles ✅Experience tips: After entering, you can download the Railway Museum app to make an appointment to draw lots to participate in the event ✅Visit the "Railway Culture Gallery" to learn about Japanese railways and culture For friends who are interested in railways or parents with children and children traveling, this is definitely a good place worth visiting. Staying indoors and visiting museums in the summer is also a good way to beat the heat. 📍Address: 3-47 Daisei-cho, Omiya-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture 🚗Access: Take the NEW Shuttle from Omiya Station and get off at the Railway Museum Station, then walk for 3 minutes 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:30) 💰Admission fee Adults 1,600 yen | Elementary, middle and high school students: 600 yen #100 ways to travel #japan #tokyo #tokyotrip #tokyotravel

#Travelingwithme I changed the naan to cheese naan in the MALIKA two-curry dinner set. The cheese naan came in six pieces, which were thick and very filling. The dough was heavy and similar to the texture of a certain pizza restaurant. Both the keema curry and spinach cheese curry had a mild taste and were delicious. The samosa and saffron rice were also quite tasty, but the portions were quite large and quite filling. The taste seemed to be of the same quality as popular restaurants in Tokyo. The curry was just as tasty as other restaurants in the area. The naan was soft and easy to eat, like a bread pizza dough, but there were six pieces, so it was quite filling.

#Sakura2024 I went to the famous 24-hour restaurant, Count's House in Omiya. ✨It has the atmosphere of a coffee shop, but the food menu is quite extensive! The lineup is full of international cuisine😳❤️In addition to Western and Japanese food, they also have Chinese, Thai, Nepalese, and Uighur cuisine👀It's also the birthplace of Omiya Neapolitan🍝 𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸▶What I ordered: Thick-cut butter toast with drink (¥600) I went for breakfast! I actually wanted to order something like Omiya Neapolitan, but it was quite filling so I gave up😭 I ordered the lightest thick-cut butter toast, which was also quite filling🍞 Recommended for those who want to eat their fill or share✨ ▶ Shop atmosphereThe shop is spacious and the seats are wide apart! It's a comfortable atmosphere even for single people🙆♀️There are several TVs so you can spend your time however you likeThe stained glass and antique furniture are lovely😌 🍽Shop information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Shop name: Cafe & Deli Count's House 🗺Address: 1-46 Miyamachi, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0802🚗Access: 5 minutes walk from the east exit of Omiya Station⏰Opening hours: Open 24 hours💳Payment method: Cash💵Budget: 1,000 yen and up #Omiya #Omiya gourmet #Retro coffee shop #Coffee shop #Coffee shop morning meal

Sauna food at Ofuro Cafe Utatane! Introducing sauna sweets✨ ・Giant pudding for 2-3 people ・Omurice ・Carbonara udon Ofuro Cafe Utatane has a cafe restaurant, an open-air bath, several types of saunas, mud packs (women's bath), a space for lounging, a space for napping, a space for card games and board games, and more, so it's a place you can enjoy all day! So what I would like to recommend is pudding for 2-3 people! It was a bit overwhelming for two women to eat it at the end, so I recommend eating it with three people. There are four types: fresh cream, chocolate, blueberry sauce, and honey, and you can combine them as you like. It's fun to eat while changing the flavor! #Sakura2024 #SaunaTrip #Pudding #SaunaGourmet

#HotelReview I stayed at Ref Omiya by Vessel Hotel! It's a comfortable business hotel about a 5-minute walk from Omiya Station. Its stylish atmosphere seems to overturn the concept of a business hotel. It offers welcome drinks and a wide range of workspaces, and the service is solid and easy to use for business purposes. I was with my child this time, and they provided amenities and pajamas for children, which was very helpful. It's a clean and stylish atmosphere, so many people use it for non-business purposes. It's also convenient because it's only one stop away from Saitama Super Arena. #Omiya #Saitama

Hikawa Shrine in Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, is the head shrine of the 280 or so Hikawa Shrines across the country. It enshrines the gods Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Inadahime-no-Mikoto, and Onamuchi-no-Mikoto. Hikawa Shrine is also famous for having the longest approach to the shrine in Japan. The first torii gate is near Saitama-Shintoshin Station, the next station. By chance, I went to the main hall to pray by going through the Chinowa-diving ritual. Hikawa Shrine is always crowded with worshippers no matter when you visit. Behind the Chozuya (purification fountain), there is a Hebi-no-Ike (snake pond). This is where the pure water flows into the sacred pond inside Hikawa Shrine. It is dimly lit, but as you get closer, you can feel a sacred atmosphere. The grounds of Hikawa Shrine are very large, and there are many other small shrines. In addition, the greenery of the trees is pleasant in summer, but in spring, the neighboring Omiya Park is also recommended as many cherry blossoms bloom in bloom, making it a great place to enjoy cherry blossom viewing. Along the way to the shrine, there are shops selling local dumplings and coffee, so it's fun to stop by after worshipping. 1-407 Takahanacho, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture 15 minutes' walk from the east exit of JR Omiya Station May to August: Sakuramon Gate is open from 5:00 to 18:00 #Hikawa Shrine #Omiya #Saitama Tourism #Shrine Tour

Motoara River (Saitama) Take the train from Kumagaya for only two stations and you will arrive here. The highlight is the cherry blossom tunnel surrounding the canal that stretches into the community. It is a large park where only locals come to visit rather than tourists. It is suitable for taking pictures without being bothered by tourists. Location: Fukiage Station (North Exit) Walk for about 200 meters. #ReviewJapan #TravelJapan

The official name of Omiya Hikawa Shrine is "Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Shrine," but locals call it "(Omiya) Hikawa Shrine." The approach to the shrine is 2km long, making it a good place for a stroll or a little exercise. The shortest route from Omiya Station is halfway along the approach, but even from there it's still about 1km away. The glittering vermilion color of the shrine shines brilliantly on sunny days, making it a beautiful sight. Omiya Park is adjacent to the back, so you can enjoy nature to the fullest.

Did you know that Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture is a bonsai-rich region? Close to Omiya, south of Toro Station, is commonly known as "Bonsai Village," where many bonsai masters gather, and the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum is located within this area.

Some of the trees are over 500 years old, and some are so big that even four adults cannot lift them. You can also ask volunteer guides for detailed explanations 🤓It's also a popular spot for foreign tourists 🤩

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is like a stylish restaurant you'll find in Vietnam, and Vietnamese pop music is playing, so I feel like I'm in Vietnam...

The area around Saitama Shintoshin Station is a completely new area, just like the name "Shintoshin" suggests. The town was built on the former Omiya marshalling yard and the former Katakura Omiya Silk Mill. It was named Cocoon (cocoon) because of its connection to the silk mill... Cocoon City also has a cinema, so you can spend the whole day having fun. The most eye-catching feature in Saitama Shintoshin is the pylon, an NTT communications tower that is 220m tall. The most famous thing about Saitama Shintoshin Station is the Saitama Super Arena. The arena, Cocoon City, and the skyscrapers face the station, making it a very convenient town.

Speaking of Higashi-Omiya, there is a "ramen stall" that is famous in the surrounding wards. It is located in front of Seiyu in Higashi-Omiya. It has been a long time since it opened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The owner used to run a ramen shop called XX, but switched to a stall 20 years ago. The owner's unique secret soup is prepared over 8 hours every day. It is open from just after 6am until the next morning!! When people notice that the shop is open, they gather ဗီူဗီူ ဗီူဗီူ The soup is poured early, so by the time the noodles are added and brought to your eyes, the temperature has dropped a little, and the bowl is long-lasting. It's easy to eat standing up~🍜 I drink up the soup every time!! It's a heart-warming bowl😋

This year, large-scale Christmas illuminations have finally arrived at the Higashi-Omiya Station rotary!! They are colorful and change color, soothing to those who have just returned home!! The atmosphere is completely different from usual, and will brighten up Higashi-Omiya's winter.

Kappo Koizumi is a fugu specialty restaurant located in Urawa City, Saitama Prefecture, about a 5-minute walk from Urawa Station. I had been curious about it every time I passed by, so I went there to celebrate something! The proprietress and her husband are in charge of everything from cooking to serving, and I was very satisfied with the exquisite food that was made with their heart and soul. The proprietress's recommended fin sake is made right in front of you using a match. Everything is delicious, including the rice porridge after the hot pot, and I recommend it because you can spend a relaxing time here. If you have something to celebrate, please go there! Highly recommended. Address: 1-4-1 Takasago, Urawa Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture Telephone number: 0488241199 Atmosphere/facilities: Private rooms available.
