Fantastic 5.0
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!

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.

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! Transportation convenience: Excellent Hotel location: Excellent Hotel location: Excellent

What to know before visiting Saitama

Quick snapshot of Saitama and what to expect

Saitama is a compact city whose Klook bookings are dominated by museums, with smaller volumes for massages, outdoor activities and tours. Demand has a clear annual rhythm, with a single busiest month in September and quieter booking levels in October and late autumn.

Best times to visit for crowds and prices

Klook data show demand peaks in September and drops to a trough in October, so visitors seeking a lively atmosphere should target September while those after lighter crowds will find October and November much quieter. Prices are very stable through most of the year, with the priciest period recorded in July and the cheapest month typically in April — the gap is modest. Overall, demand and prices are not tightly linked: September is busiest but prices remain similar to other months, so pick timing for crowds rather than hoping for big price swings.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong planning a trip

Most travellers from Hong Kong typically book about four days ahead, with a small share booking much earlier; that makes short-notice trips very workable for museum visits and massages. If you plan to travel in September (the busiest month), consider securing popular experiences earlier in that window, while quieter months like October are fine for more spontaneous booking on Klook.
