“Saitama City Iwatsuki Ningyo Museum” was opened in Saitama’s Iwatsuki Ward in 2020 and explores the history between people and dolls, serving the role of promoting the culture of dolls for the future. We are working on a project to make dolls more familiar to people through exhibitions and activities, as well as collecting and storing documents related to dolls and researching about the culture of dolls.

Built on the ruins of Iwatsuki Castle, this park has lush natural trails with open spaces and is a popular place of relaxation for the local people. There is also a tennis court, baseball field, playground equipment, a picnic area with a fountain, a pond covered by a vermillion-lacquered zigzag bridge, and a vintage Tobu Railway Romancecar "Kinu No.1" on display in this enjoyable park for all ages! In the spring, the park is known for its 600 cherry blossom trees and the lively events it sponsors.
The hot spring contains no sodium, classifying it as a "simple" alkaline hot spring, a rarity in the Kanto region. The color of the water is dark brown but sparkles gold when hit by sunlight. Soaking in the hot spring will make your skin smooth, and you are guaranteed to have a relaxing time.
We offer tourist information and general information about the city. There is everything from displays of the original picture of “Crayon Shin-chan,” an animated character representing Kasukabe, to food for sale approved by the city’s “Food Selection." It is also registered as a “baby friendly station,” and families can use the station to change diapers and breastfeed here. Please feel free to stop by.
Our rice crackers (senbei) are available for purchase from a unit of one. We have more than 30 flavors available. Our senbei are individually wrapped to make them easier to eat, and gifts and seasonal Japanese sweets are also available. There is an “Inauguration Festival” in mid-April, a “Thanksgiving Festival” in mid-October, and a “Thank You Fair” at the end of June and November.
