I went to Laketown on the first day of Golden Week! The parking lots were all full! If you're going by car, it's definitely better to check before you go. You might have to wait a little. There's an outlet mall, and there's also a lake. It's highly recommended for families with children and for those with dogs🐶. There are plenty of spots to take photos. Please take some pictures♪ There are many different shops, so it's fun to walk around! Address 〒343-0828 Saitama Prefecture, Koshigaya, Laketown 4 Chome-1-1

Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture. Whenever I have business in the Koshigaya area, I always stop by Katori Shrine. When I went to pray for the first time in a while, there was a beautiful cherry blossom tunnel. When I passed through the cherry blossom tunnel, a very healing space spread out. Koshigaya Katori Shrine is widely known as a shrine for fertility and safe childbirth because it enshrines the female Konohanasakuyahime. In addition, there are cute heart-shaped votive plaques, and it is also a power spot for matchmaking. If you go around to the back of the shrine grounds, you will find a large matchmaking tree. There are several types of fortune-telling slips and goshuin, so it is a very enjoyable shrine. This time, I received a goshuin that is only available in April. And Katori Shrine has many photo spots. They have various photo spots for spring, summer, autumn and winter. This time, the cherry blossom and strawberry motifs matched the blue sky, and I was able to take a cute photo. I went during the day on a weekday, and although there were several groups visiting, it did not seem crowded, and I received a lot of power and healing this time as well. It is a very accessible shrine, just a 3-minute walk from the station. Please come and visit us. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Spot name: Koshigaya Katori Shrine 3-13-38 Osawa, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture ☎️048-975-7824🚃3 minutes walk from Kita-Koshigaya Station on the Tobu Skytree Line #Sakura2024 #Shrine #ShrineTour #TempleStamp #Saitama

I found "Taro Yaki" from "Taro Yaki Honpo", a Koshigaya specialty, on the street in front of the station in Koshigaya, Saitama. The price is 100 yen each The batter is filled with plenty of honey and eggs, and the filling is homemade bean paste with less sugar. The sugar used is brown sugar, which also enhances the flavor. It seems that many people buy it to take away, but since it is individually wrapped, I ate the kaitenyaki while it was still hot. The location is about 400m straight down the street in front of Koshigaya Station. It takes about 6 minutes to arrive. There is no eat-in area. This is a take-out only store.

#SaitamaTourism Unaju (Unashige) I went to Unaju, a restaurant I'd been interested in for a while It seems that it's pronounced Unashige, not Unaju😊 I went without a reservation and it was full so I had no choice but to get takeout💦 I guess everyone was trying to avoid summer fatigue The restaurant was almost full with reservations Takeout was OK👌 There were tatami and table seats inside the restaurant, and it seemed like the tatami seats were being used by a family I ordered the special! It cost 3,400 yen I went to pick it up about 30 minutes later When I got home and ate it, it was incredibly filling!! The eel was thick and plump♪ I was surprised that the eel was so big that I couldn't eat it all by myself☺️ The parking lot was quite spacious with an eel banner It's about a 10-minute drive from Koshigaya Lake Town, so it's also recommended for those who are visiting Lake Town👍🏻 📍 3-7 Kawaryumachi, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture am/11:00-13:30 pm/16:30-19:00 Closed Thursdays and the third Friday #SaitamaGourmet #SaitamaEelShop #KoshigayaGourmet #Unashige #UnagiRiceBowl #777

#SaitamaTourism This time I recommended to everyone A place where you can experience flying in the sky! You can experience indoor skydiving. There are various things to be careful about, but it is almost dangerous. You can enjoy it like an attraction. You can also download videos and photos from the internet. Flying in the sky is out of the ordinary and very enjoyable! It was a bit of a luxurious experience, but it was a lot of fun. It might be a good surprise gift for someone you like lol 6-19-3 Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, 343-0828 #SummerTrip #777

#SaitamaTourism Nikujiru Udon Amano-ya Koshigaya Lake Town Store This is a restaurant that just opened in March The signboard recommends nikujiru udon, so I ordered nikujiru udon♪ Musashino udon made with local flour from Saitama Prefecture is mixed with water and dipped in warm soup☺️ I don't know if this is normal, but I waited 15 minutes from ordering to the dish💦 Super thick noodles! One noodle that feels like it's about 1 cm long There was a lot of meat in the soup, but I wonder if it was too salty I added dashi at the end and drank it, but it was still too strong😅 *As of July 2023 This is not a chain store 📍 6-26-2 Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture OPEN 11:00 to 21:00 (open all year round) #SaitamaGourmet #KoshigayaLakeTown #NikujiruUdon #KoshigayaGourmet #MusashinoUdon #777

"Daikichi Adjustment Pond Park" This park can be reached by bus from Kitakoshigaya Station. This adjustment pond was created when the flow of the Shinkata River and Sakai River was changed to prevent the Shinkata River from flowing into residential areas on the other side when the water level of the Shinkata River was high, and the Shinkata River was made to flow straight and the Sakai River was made to flow underground. There is a promenade around the pond, and stakes are driven into the ground so that you can see how many meters you have walked counterclockwise. The scenery is beautiful and it is perfect for a cool evening stroll, walking, and jogging. It is also good for a family picnic. Also, when viewed from above, this place is shaped like Koshigaya City, and it is a mysterious spot that is said to be Koshigaya within Koshigaya City. If you come to Koshigaya, you must see it along with the neighboring Wild Bird Forest. #Promenade #JoggingCourse #Reservoir #FishingSpot #KoshigayaCity

This is the center of Koshigaya City, a place of relaxation for the citizens adjacent to the city hall, the "Kasai Waterfront Greenway" and "Fujidana Street" on the Moto-Arakawa River. The roads are well maintained and beautiful, making it a good place to take a walk or jog in the morning or evening. Flowers are planted for each season, delighting visitors. Fujidana Street juts out into the river, so you can enjoy the scenery at your leisure. I've left a photo of the location for reference. This is a recommended spot in Koshigaya. Please come and visit. #Moto-Arakawa #Kasai Waterfront Greenway #Fujidana Street #Promenade

Minamikoshigaya Tantanmen Wabi Sabi The signature dish is of course the "Tantanmen"‼️ It looks spicy but it's not spicy at all The rich soup is incredibly delicious But this tantanmen also comes with a cheese risotto set This cheese risotto is made by leaving a little of the tantanmen soup and is incredibly delicious 😋 They also have tantan tsukemen You can also make risotto here ♪ It's been getting hot lately, so they also have chilled tantanmen ☺️ This is a restaurant I've been coming back to again and again! 📍 1F Central 12 Minamikoshigaya Building, 1-16-3 Minamikoshigaya, Koshigaya, Saitama Business hours: 11:30-24:00 (last orders 23:30) #Recommended restaurant in Saitama #Delicious restaurant in Saitama #Minamikoshigaya #Repeat restaurant #Japanese restaurant #Recommended tantanmen restaurant #Popular restaurant in Koshigaya

I got to see Crayon Shin-chan goods that I haven't seen much before and they were so cute! There were all kinds of products and places to take photos, so it was heaven for me as a Crayon Shin-chan fan lol There were all kinds of goods and things related to the movie. Lake Town was also so big that it was impossible to see everything in one day. The food court was big and it was easy to find a seat!

Address: Cores Building, 2-2-12 Minamikoshigaya, Koshigaya, Saitama The lunch set comes with pancakes and coffee for 1,650 yen (tax included) ☆ The pancakes are fluffy and melt in your mouth, so I recommend them♪ #lunch#saitama #minamikoshigaya#gourmet

Access: Bus No. 4 from Koshigaya Station East Exit → Hanadaen Entrance Tourist Spot: Strolling Pond Garden, Autumn Leaves Admission Fee: 100 yen The garden is smaller than you might imagine. It takes about 20 minutes to go around the whole garden, but I was impressed by the spectacular view of the autumn leaves reflected on the water! There are not many people, so I recommend it. #trip2022

These are the illuminations at the east exit of Koshigaya Station. They're not flashy, but I think it's pretty nice to see them on your way home. They're really small, but I feel so happy every time I see them that I tried taking photos. These kinds of things are nice too!

Shirakobato Bridge to Kasai Waterfront Greenway A greenway stretching approximately 1.3km from the Yanagibashi area in Yanagimachi, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture to the Shirakobato Bridge area on the Koshigaya Yashio Line prefectural road. When I went, there were no flowers in bloom, but there were several kinds of birds. In flower season, you can see hydrangeas, irises, lotus flowers, and more. Shirakobato Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with different heights for the main towers on the left and right. They seem to represent the feeling of a collared pigeon, a natural monument, spreading its wings. It's a nice quiet river for a walk, but it's a bit narrow. #Saitama

Oosagami Adjustment Pond Laketown 2-chome, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture 5 minutes walk from Koshigaya Laketown Station on the JR Musashino Line. The grassy area was a great place to spend time, with events and walks around the pond. We went in the evening, so the sunset was beautiful. #Saitama

Lake Town Lakeside Forest Park A park on the lakeside of Lake Town, 9-42, Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture. The park is on the opposite side from the Aeon side (on the northwest side of the Osagamo Regulating Pond Kitaike). There were some children fishing for crayfish. The water is so clear that you can see the crayfish from above. #Saitama #Trip with kids

There are many Chinese dishes on the menu, but the food is served quickly! Yomiuri Newspaper and sports newspapers are also available. I had the fried rice, which was consistently delicious. The toppings were char siu, egg, naruto, and green onion. The red pickled ginger was chopped, so it might be easy to mix. The onion water in the plastic bottle on the table is apparently drinkable.

Enjoy the famous shaved ice while strolling through the streets of Sawara, known as Little Edo. The sudachi shaved ice is a perfect summer dish, combining the moderate sweetness of wasanbon with the sourness of sudami 🍧✨ After visiting the historic Katori Shrine, take a leisurely walk along the river and enjoy the picturesque scenery. This is a relaxing spot where you can relax and enjoy the cloudless blue sky and the slowly flowing river. #Chiba #Sawara #Little Edo #Katori Shrine #Shaved Ice #River Scenery #Walking Around Town #0 Yen Travel February 2025

Today, I will take you to see cherry blossoms near Tokyo. Take the JR Takasaki Line and get off at Fukiage Station. Walk from the station for 10 minutes to Motoarakawa River. Cherry blossom trees line both sides of the river. I personally think it is more beautiful than the cherry blossoms at Nakameguro in Tokyo. The day I went was a weekday, so there were quite a few people. However, if it is a holiday, there will be people coming to Hanami along the river. If you have the chance, I would like you to come and live a slow life here. The cherry blossoms are very beautiful and juicy.
