Things to do in Saitama Prefecture

Mr. Jude (蔡萌) is a responsible and friendly tour guide. Despite the unexpectedly worse-than-usual snowy road conditions, he did his utmost to accommodate our request to spend extra time at Ginzan Onsen to enjoy its beautiful gas-lit atmosphere. The highlight was the renowned Zao Snow Monster Ropeway tour. Even during peak hours on a busy Saturday, Jude successfully secured the ropeway tickets and thoughtfully arranged for us to stay longer at Jizo Sancho Ropeway Station (地藏山頂駅), allowing us to fully appreciate the Jizo Son (藏王地藏尊) and the spectacular Zao Snow Monsters (藏王樹冰). Thumbs up to Jude (蔡萌) for his dedication and excellent service.

I misread and thought I was going to Hoshino and the Prince Outlet, but it turned out to be a choice between the two. I changed my itinerary at the last minute and notified the driver and guide, Mr. Wu, but there was a misunderstanding that caused him to search for us everywhere. Thank you.

A day trip to Karuizawa offers a wonderful vacation vibe: Kumoba Pond's waters reflect the surrounding forest, and strolling along the wooden boardwalk of Harunire Terrace, enjoying coffee, desserts, and bread, is incredibly therapeutic. Karuizawa is worth planning an overnight stay next time. Tour guide Liu was friendly and professional, providing detailed explanations, covering everything from historical culture and customs to cuisine, making the overall experience perfect.

Wow! Highly recommend this tour. Our driver, Setsu, was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English well. This mostly self-guided tour goes away from the overcrowded areas which was a breath of fresh air when visiting seaside shrines and market. Gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace. Our favorite stop was the flower and illumination gardens. Truly a must visit, and this is our 5th visit to Japan. Have to try the roasted to order dango (best we’ve had) in the flower garden and the fresh seafood at the seaside market. The vendors cater mostly to Japanese so we found the prices to be more affordable.

easy to redeem ticket, the place is huge. there is a kids plaza with place for the kids to play separated for infant, toddlers and bigger kids, and there is a kids cafe too. for the mini train driving attractions, you need to download the railway app and win the time slot for the attraction. per entry for a family (3 person per train) is 600 yen. it's about 20 minutes per ride. one phone can get only 1 slot of the mini train ride. the exhibitions is big and really fun for train enthusiasts. there are other attractions such us VR (theres a fee) and diorama (free). all and all, it's a good experience.

If you're worried about spending too much time waiting in line at Disneyland, then Seibuen Amusement Park is your first choice. Here, you'll find parades, amusement areas, small theaters, and movies, creating unforgettable memories.

What a nice trip and unforgotable memory. Thank you very much to Mr. Tony, our tour guide who has helped us a lot and of course did his job very well during the tour. Keep up the good work !!! Thank you Go go day.... CU next trip🤗

very nice place and the pass was convenient but I want to suggest something. The pass is for all seibu line but if you want to save more time and take faster line, you have to take limited express which is seat-reserved and pay for additional fee. I pay 600 yen for limited express for each.

I've been to zoos and amusement parks together in Korea a few times, but it seems like none of them showed as much uniqueness as this place. I liked that there were more rare animals than I thought, ones that you can't see in Korea. Some areas of the facilities are a bit old, but I don't think there are many zoos in Korea that offer this much enjoyment for under ₩22,000.
