Tokyo’s neighbor to the north isn’t one of Japan’s most famous prefectures, but as one of the most accessible, it has plenty to offer any intrepid day-trippers who make their way up there. Far more wide and open than the big city down south, you can finally have some room to breathe in Saitama, where the concrete jungle gives way to rolling hills and sprawling tea farms.
There are plenty of good reasons for foodies to head up this way too.
