About
A large landlocked prefecture north of Tokyo, Saitama has it all: major urban centers, rural farmland, suburban communities, and just about everything in between. Saitama's most popular area for tourism lies in the northwestern part of the prefecture, also known as the Chichibu Region. Consisting of hilly and mountainous areas, it is home to a rich environment that offers a great opportunity to see a more natural side of Saitama. Other parts of the prefecture are more flat and spacious, allowing for considerable urban development. Major cities such as Saitama City, Kawaguchi or Kawagoe offer plenty to see and do, both modern and traditional. A great area for those who wish to commute into Tokyo for work, Saitama is also a splendid place to live and work in itself.

【About Yashio City (埼玉県八潮市)】
Yashio City is the very model of suburban comfort in the Kanto area. About 30 minutes from central Tokyo by train, and situated between the cities of Soka and Misato, it's a great place to work, whether you're commuting in or already living there. With easy access to parts of Tokyo like Ueno and Akihabara, fun and excitement is never far away. For something a bit closer, Frespo Yashio is a 3-story modern shopping center right next to Yashio Station on the Tsukuba Express Line. The city also has many parks for when you just need some fresh air and space. Living in southern Saitama also offers one lower rent prices than they'd find for less space in Tokyo itself. If you're looking for a quieter area close to the biggest city in Japan that allows you to save some money, Yashio City is the place to go.
