The Saitama City Iwatsuki Ningyo Museum

“Saitama City Iwatsuki Ningyo Museum” is a museum that opened in Saitama’s Iwatsuki Ward in 2020 that probes the history between people and dolls and serves the role of bringing the culture of dolls into the future. Through the collection and storage of documents related to dolls and research related to the culture of dolls, we are working on a project to make dolls more familiar to people through exhibitions and activities.

Iwatsuki Castle Site Park

This park built on the ruins of Iwatsuki Castle is a lush natural space with trails to explore and open areas to relax. Mingled in with the green, you can find a tennis court, baseball field, playground equipment, a picnic area with a fountain, and a pond with a vermillion-lacquered zigzag bridge. There is even an aged train, oozing with retro atmosphere, on display! In other words, this is a place for people of all ages! Not to mention, in spring, 600 cherry blossom trees bloom here, making it a "sakura"-hotspot during the vernal season.

Kasukabe Yumoto Hot Spring

The hot spring contains no sodium, classifying it as a "simple" alkalinity hot spring, making it rare in the Kanto region. The color of the water is dark brown but becomes sparkling gold when hit by sunlight. Soaking in the hot spring will make your skin smooth, and you are guaranteed to have a relaxing time.

Kasukabe Information Center (Platto Kasukabe)

We offer information regarding the city such as information related to tourism and the town. Everything from displays of the original picture of “Crayon Shin-chan”, an animated character that represents Kasukabe, to the sales of food approved for the city’s “Food Selection” takes place. Further, it is registered as a “baby friendly station” with changes of diapers and breast-feeding made possible. Please feel free to stop by.

Sanshu Sohonpo Takesato Main Branch

Purchases can be made from 1 piece of sembei (Japanese rice crackers). We have more than 30 flavors available. Other than this, we also offer sembei wrapped individually to make it easier to eat, along with gifts and seasonal Japanese sweets. 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.
