Our Guide Mr Lee is smiley and friendly. His guide us at little Edo Street and recommend many nice streets foods and snack to buy home. Since it was raining, he suggested we should go for Prince shopping mall instead as my husband unable to do lots of walking. We are fortunate to have him as our guide.

An absolute must-see – the Railway Museum in Saitama! Anyone with even a spark of enthusiasm for trains will love this museum. Spanning over 9,000 square meters, visitors can delve deep into the history of Japanese railways, featuring real locomotives, interactive exhibits, and impressive technological experiences. (Sumikai) Over 36 faithfully reproduced vehicles are on display, and thanks to lighting, music, and video effects, even stationary trains come to life. (ANA) The absolute highlight for me was the ride on the small mini-train – in that moment, you completely forget your age and become a child again. That smile won't fade anytime soon! The museum is easily accessible from Ōmiya Station via the "New Shuttle" – the journey itself sets the mood for the adventure. (Japanliebe) For families, train enthusiasts, and nostalgia lovers: definitely plan a visit!

This is the most affordable, clean and elegant 4 stars hotel! They provided very nice pyjamas for us and the kids! About 7 minutes walk to the station and the 7-eleven, lawson, natural lawson, family mart is just around the corner. We love the stay! 4 nights for just around $350 after KLOOK discounts worth every penny for an elegant/ modern, feels new vibe kind of hotel! They even have microwave at the 14th floor! We only figured it out on our last day there! Hope it helps you all to lessen packing your luggage 🤩

The accommodation is very close to Omiya Station, just a five-minute walk away. There's also a 24-hour supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. Plus, there are complimentary welcome drinks on the first floor, which is fantastic. There's also a large public bath!

Hotel staff is very friendly. Room was spacious for one person. Room was also clean. Buffet food is decent and varies everyday. Will definitely stay again
Saitama at a glance
Quick facts about Saitama
General info
What to know before visiting Saitama
Quick snapshot of Saitama and what people book
Saitama attracts steady interest year-round with museums leading bookings and smaller shares for massages, outdoor activities and tours. Demand builds into early summer, giving the city a lively peak period driven by visitors seeking cultural and light outdoor experiences.
Best time to visit and how prices behave
Klook booking data show demand peaks in June and dips in August, with the quietest months stretching into early autumn. Prices stay very low through most of the year but jump sharply in February according to past Klook bookings; July is typically one of the cheapest months. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, travel in July through November; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere, aim for June when demand is highest. Note that price and demand mostly diverge here — demand peaks in June while prices spike in February in prior bookings.
Tips for travellers
Most travellers here tend to finalise plans about four days ahead, so Saitama suits spontaneous trips as well as short itineraries. For travel in the busy June period, consider booking museum tickets a little earlier (within the two-week early window) to lock in preferred times. Use Klook to compare available dates and time slots and secure experiences that match your schedule.
