Things to do in Saitama Prefecture

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!

It rained the day before we arrived in Tokyo, so we only purchased the tickets after confirming good weather on the day of our visit, which was very convenient. Since it included a Seibu Railway one-day pass, we could go to Kawagoe in the morning. If you want to save time, you can take the limited express train by purchasing an additional limited express ticket. The direct bus was also great. Moominvalley Park really takes a whole day to explore completely. It was truly delightful and a very happy day.

since the place is far from Tokyo most of the time was taken in the journey. However, The journey itself is very peaceful and scenic. The guide has given the instructions clearly and has been very helpful throughout the trip. major highlights are the Hoshino resorts and clock tower. We couldn't go to shrine,as we reached there after the closing time due to traffic. However there's a museum very near to clock tower that highlights the festival there. It was just 100 yen ticket to enter yet totally worth the experience.

I'm a big fan of the Moomin family and also love nature, so I decided to visit this place. It took just over an hour to get there from Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The park was larger than I expected. My son and I took photos with the cartoon characters and scenery, and there was also a 4D movie theater. We stayed for three and a half hours and had a wonderful time.

Book on Klook and was able to walk right in easily. The Godzilla 4D ride was awesome - similar to attractions at Disney where you are seated in a row and the screen in front of you shows an epic battle between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. The performances by the staff at the park and musical numbers were also incredible. No lines to wait in. Highly recommend.

The staff were very polite, and there were many kimonos to choose from. The hair accessories were also beautiful, with a wide selection available. They also provided a large bag for your clothes, bag, and shoes. The shop is very conveniently located near Kawagoe Station.

We had an amazing time with the kids, we all enjoyed the up close and personal experience with all the animals and the kids loved being able to feed and pat them. it was a bonus to go on some rides too. It was very affordable and fun for the whole family x

Good and interesting experience to drive around the lake in a mini EV. pick up from main station was easy. Guide was knowledgeable and stopped at a few scenic spots and helped to record videos and took photos . these were later sent to us via air drop at end of activity . Do note that the price for klook is significantly higher than the price offered direct by the tour operator. I managed to appeal for klook best price guarantee which klook honour and refunded the difference in klook cash voucher .

Thank you, Director Liu, for today's tour. You're always so thoughtful and helpful. The weather wasn't great today, so we couldn't visit Kumoba Pond, but I really loved Koedo on the way back. 🥰 I hope to visit Kumoba Pond next time.
