Where Past and Future Coexist

Designed by the creator of Anpanman, Yanase Takashi, Urawa Unako-chan was made to share Urawa’s delicious unagi(freshwater eel) dishes!

Uramon Shotengai is a historical shopping street and the monzen-machi of Gyokuzo-in Temple. The word monzen-machi refers to the town or street that develops in front of a temple in response to the Japanese people going to worship at temples during their leisure time. There are wonderful cafes and gorgeous pottery shops in Uramon Shotengai for you to enjoy and pick up wonderful souvenirs!

Unagi has long been a part of Urawa’s cuisine. Every shop has its own unique sauce, which is often handed down through generations.Unagi is usually grilled or baked before being served with rice, making it a light, healthy option. If you like to eat and enjoy tasting new things, head to Masuya to try their famous unagi meals!

Like many other Japanese shrines, Tsuki-jinja Shrine has stone guardians. Unlike many other shrines, however, this one is guarded by stone rabbits, as the word tsuki means “moon” in Japanese, and, while some people see a face when they look at the moon, Japanese people see a rabbit! For this reason, rabbits are considered the messengers of the moon, making this a must-visit not just for people who are interested in shrines, but rabbit lovers too!

Although the location has a lot to offer during the day, it’s just as beautiful by night, particularly from the Saitama Shintoshin area. You can enjoy a stunning view of the nighttime cityscape from several spots in Saitama Shintoshin, such as SAITAMA SUPER ARENA, Keyaki Hiroba and COCOON CITY. Keyaki Hiroba has around 20 restaurants and retail shops on the first floor, where you can have a delicious meal while shopping.

Kanouya is a river fish restaurant,which is run by a river fish wholesaler.You can eat delicious Japanese sanjin(three-god) cuisine, which features freshwater ingredients such as carp and eel, making for a wonderful meal!Both the hospitality of this restaurant and its carefully planned menu with its amazing food is designed to bring you health, beauty and happiness!
