Saitama City is the prefectural capital of Saitama Prefecture, and is a well-balanced city with easy access to the city center and ease of living. The Omiya/Urawa area is full of large commercial facilities and restaurants, offering plenty of shopping and gourmet food. Saitama Shintoshin has developed as a business district and has well-developed urban functions. On the other hand, there are many green parks and calm residential areas, making it a good living environment. Multiple lines such as the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line, Utsunomiya Line, Takasaki Line, and Saikyo Line are available, allowing smooth access to Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro. This area is recommended for working adults in their 20s and 30s who are looking for convenience and comfortable living.

Voice of area responsible
When I'm in charge of Saitama City, I often hear people say, ``The city's functionality and livability are just right.'' In particular, the area around Omiya Station is also a Shinkansen station, providing good access not only to Tokyo but also to Tohoku and Hokuriku. There are many cafes and restaurants in the Urawa and Musashi-Urawa areas, which are popular with people who want to live in a calm atmosphere. There are also plenty of supermarkets and commercial facilities, so you won't have any trouble shopping or eating out. The appeal of Saitama City is that you can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle surrounded by nature while still having easy access to the city center.
