Hotels in Saitama, Japan

Saitama is a prefecture just north of Tokyo, famous for its preserved Edo-era district in Kawagoe and rugged Chichibu mountains. Summers are hot and humid, perfect for exploring Kawagoe's kurazukuri storehouses and snacking on sweet potato treats, while winters are cool and clear-ideal for hiking trails like Mount Mitsumine or catching the Chichibu Night Festival illuminated by lanterns. Spring and fall offer mild temps for cycling along the Arakawa River or visiting hitachi seaside park's nemophila blooms in May and autumn leaves in November.
