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

What to know before visiting Saitama

Quick snapshot of Saitama and what draws visitors

Saitama’s Klook bookings are dominated by museums, with massages and outdoor activities also appearing among popular categories. Demand follows a clear annual rhythm, peaking in May and dropping sharply in August, so the city alternates between busy spring weeks and much quieter late-summer periods.

Best times to visit based on crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, May is the busiest month while August sees the lowest demand. Prices, however, don’t exactly mirror demand: they spike in September and fall to their lowest in May according to Klook’s price data. For lower prices and smaller crowds, May and August look attractive — May has lower prices despite high demand, and August is very quiet; for full peak-season atmosphere choose May. Note the divergence around September, when prices are high even though demand is past its peak.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book Saitama experiences about four days ahead on average, with bookings sometimes made as late as the last minute and a small share planned earlier. If you prefer flexibility, many top activities (museums, short massages and outdoor options) can be arranged a few days before arrival; if you travel in May or other busy periods, plan earlier and lock in popular time slots on Klook to avoid disappointment.
