I went to Laketown on the first day of Golden Week! The parking lots were all full! If you're going by car, it's definitely better to check before you go. You might have to wait a little. There's an outlet mall, and there's also a lake. It's highly recommended for families with children and for those with dogs🐶. There are plenty of spots to take photos. Please take some pictures♪ There are many different shops, so it's fun to walk around! Address 〒343-0828 Saitama Prefecture, Koshigaya, Laketown 4 Chome-1-1

Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture. Whenever I have business in the Koshigaya area, I always stop by Katori Shrine. When I went to pray for the first time in a while, there was a beautiful cherry blossom tunnel. When I passed through the cherry blossom tunnel, a very healing space spread out. Koshigaya Katori Shrine is widely known as a shrine for fertility and safe childbirth because it enshrines the female Konohanasakuyahime. In addition, there are cute heart-shaped votive plaques, and it is also a power spot for matchmaking. If you go around to the back of the shrine grounds, you will find a large matchmaking tree. There are several types of fortune-telling slips and goshuin, so it is a very enjoyable shrine. This time, I received a goshuin that is only available in April. And Katori Shrine has many photo spots. They have various photo spots for spring, summer, autumn and winter. This time, the cherry blossom and strawberry motifs matched the blue sky, and I was able to take a cute photo. I went during the day on a weekday, and although there were several groups visiting, it did not seem crowded, and I received a lot of power and healing this time as well. It is a very accessible shrine, just a 3-minute walk from the station. Please come and visit us. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Spot name: Koshigaya Katori Shrine 3-13-38 Osawa, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture ☎️048-975-7824🚃3 minutes walk from Kita-Koshigaya Station on the Tobu Skytree Line #Sakura2024 #Shrine #ShrineTour #TempleStamp #Saitama

I found "Taro Yaki" from "Taro Yaki Honpo", a Koshigaya specialty, on the street in front of the station in Koshigaya, Saitama. The price is 100 yen each The batter is filled with plenty of honey and eggs, and the filling is homemade bean paste with less sugar. The sugar used is brown sugar, which also enhances the flavor. It seems that many people buy it to take away, but since it is individually wrapped, I ate the kaitenyaki while it was still hot. The location is about 400m straight down the street in front of Koshigaya Station. It takes about 6 minutes to arrive. There is no eat-in area. This is a take-out only store.

#SaitamaTourism This time I recommended to everyone A place where you can experience flying in the sky! You can experience indoor skydiving. There are various things to be careful about, but it is almost dangerous. You can enjoy it like an attraction. You can also download videos and photos from the internet. Flying in the sky is out of the ordinary and very enjoyable! It was a bit of a luxurious experience, but it was a lot of fun. It might be a good surprise gift for someone you like lol 6-19-3 Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, 343-0828 #SummerTrip #777

#SaitamaTourism Nikujiru Udon Amano-ya Koshigaya Lake Town Store This is a restaurant that just opened in March The signboard recommends nikujiru udon, so I ordered nikujiru udon♪ Musashino udon made with local flour from Saitama Prefecture is mixed with water and dipped in warm soup☺️ I don't know if this is normal, but I waited 15 minutes from ordering to the dish💦 Super thick noodles! One noodle that feels like it's about 1 cm long There was a lot of meat in the soup, but I wonder if it was too salty I added dashi at the end and drank it, but it was still too strong😅 *As of July 2023 This is not a chain store 📍 6-26-2 Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture OPEN 11:00 to 21:00 (open all year round) #SaitamaGourmet #KoshigayaLakeTown #NikujiruUdon #KoshigayaGourmet #MusashinoUdon #777

"Old Toho Nakamura Family Residence" The location is about a 5-minute walk from Lake Town Station I'll leave a photo here for reference Admission fee: 100 yen, 50 yen for elementary and junior high school students Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 This house was built in 1772 as the building of the Nakamura family, who were the headmen of this region, and it offers a good opportunity to learn about the lifestyle and traditional houses of that time The roof was thatched at the time, but was changed to tiled during the renovation. Inside are stored agricultural tools and living implements from that time Please come and learn about the history of the region #"Old Toho Nakamura Family Residence" #Old folk house

"Daikichi Adjustment Pond Park" This park can be reached by bus from Kitakoshigaya Station. This adjustment pond was created when the flow of the Shinkata River and Sakai River was changed to prevent the Shinkata River from flowing into residential areas on the other side when the water level of the Shinkata River was high, and the Shinkata River was made to flow straight and the Sakai River was made to flow underground. There is a promenade around the pond, and stakes are driven into the ground so that you can see how many meters you have walked counterclockwise. The scenery is beautiful and it is perfect for a cool evening stroll, walking, and jogging. It is also good for a family picnic. Also, when viewed from above, this place is shaped like Koshigaya City, and it is a mysterious spot that is said to be Koshigaya within Koshigaya City. If you come to Koshigaya, you must see it along with the neighboring Wild Bird Forest. #Promenade #JoggingCourse #Reservoir #FishingSpot #KoshigayaCity

This is the center of Koshigaya City, a place of relaxation for the citizens adjacent to the city hall, the "Kasai Waterfront Greenway" and "Fujidana Street" on the Moto-Arakawa River. The roads are well maintained and beautiful, making it a good place to take a walk or jog in the morning or evening. Flowers are planted for each season, delighting visitors. Fujidana Street juts out into the river, so you can enjoy the scenery at your leisure. I've left a photo of the location for reference. This is a recommended spot in Koshigaya. Please come and visit. #Moto-Arakawa #Kasai Waterfront Greenway #Fujidana Street #Promenade

Minamikoshigaya Tantanmen Wabi Sabi The signature dish is of course the "Tantanmen"‼️ It looks spicy but it's not spicy at all The rich soup is incredibly delicious But this tantanmen also comes with a cheese risotto set This cheese risotto is made by leaving a little of the tantanmen soup and is incredibly delicious 😋 They also have tantan tsukemen You can also make risotto here ♪ It's been getting hot lately, so they also have chilled tantanmen ☺️ This is a restaurant I've been coming back to again and again! 📍 1F Central 12 Minamikoshigaya Building, 1-16-3 Minamikoshigaya, Koshigaya, Saitama Business hours: 11:30-24:00 (last orders 23:30) #Recommended restaurant in Saitama #Delicious restaurant in Saitama #Minamikoshigaya #Repeat restaurant #Japanese restaurant #Recommended tantanmen restaurant #Popular restaurant in Koshigaya

I got to see Crayon Shin-chan goods that I haven't seen much before and they were so cute! There were all kinds of products and places to take photos, so it was heaven for me as a Crayon Shin-chan fan lol There were all kinds of goods and things related to the movie. Lake Town was also so big that it was impossible to see everything in one day. The food court was big and it was easy to find a seat!

Address: Cores Building, 2-2-12 Minamikoshigaya, Koshigaya, Saitama The lunch set comes with pancakes and coffee for 1,650 yen (tax included) ☆ The pancakes are fluffy and melt in your mouth, so I recommend them♪ #lunch#saitama #minamikoshigaya#gourmet

Access: Bus No. 4 from Koshigaya Station East Exit → Hanadaen Entrance Tourist Spot: Strolling Pond Garden, Autumn Leaves Admission Fee: 100 yen The garden is smaller than you might imagine. It takes about 20 minutes to go around the whole garden, but I was impressed by the spectacular view of the autumn leaves reflected on the water! There are not many people, so I recommend it. #trip2022

These are the illuminations at the east exit of Koshigaya Station. They're not flashy, but I think it's pretty nice to see them on your way home. They're really small, but I feel so happy every time I see them that I tried taking photos. These kinds of things are nice too!

Shirakobato Bridge to Kasai Waterfront Greenway A greenway stretching approximately 1.3km from the Yanagibashi area in Yanagimachi, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture to the Shirakobato Bridge area on the Koshigaya Yashio Line prefectural road. When I went, there were no flowers in bloom, but there were several kinds of birds. In flower season, you can see hydrangeas, irises, lotus flowers, and more. Shirakobato Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with different heights for the main towers on the left and right. They seem to represent the feeling of a collared pigeon, a natural monument, spreading its wings. It's a nice quiet river for a walk, but it's a bit narrow. #Saitama

Oosagami Adjustment Pond Laketown 2-chome, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture 5 minutes walk from Koshigaya Laketown Station on the JR Musashino Line. The grassy area was a great place to spend time, with events and walks around the pond. We went in the evening, so the sunset was beautiful. #Saitama

Lake Town Lakeside Forest Park A park on the lakeside of Lake Town, 9-42, Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture. The park is on the opposite side from the Aeon side (on the northwest side of the Osagamo Regulating Pond Kitaike). There were some children fishing for crayfish. The water is so clear that you can see the crayfish from above. #Saitama #Trip with kids

Former Toho Village Nakamura Family Residence Located at 51-9-51 Lake Town, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, this is the residence of the Nakamura family, who served as headmen of the Toho Village Shimogumi, which was formerly located in Toho Village, Hachijo Domain, Saitama County, Musashi Province (now Taisei Town, Koshigaya City). It is said to be the oldest house in Koshigaya City with a confirmed construction date, and is a tangible cultural property designated by Koshigaya City. It has been relocated twice in the vicinity, and is now in its current location, where it was relocated in conjunction with the development of Koshigaya Lake Town. A 15-minute walk from the north exit of JR Musashino Line Koshigaya Lake Town Station. #Saitama

Koshigaya City Central Civic Hall This civic hall is located at 4-1-1 Koshigaya, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture. Located in the center of Koshigaya City, it serves as a base for cultural and welfare activities. The facility has a theater on the first floor, a gallery and exhibition space on the second floor, a music room, tea ceremony room, multipurpose hall, audiovisual room, and craft room on the third floor, and meeting rooms on the fourth and fifth floors. It stands out because there are no tall buildings or apartment buildings nearby. It was beautiful when the lights were on. #Saitama

Iwataki, beloved by locals in Sengendai, is a steakhouse with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that only a long-established restaurant can offer. 🥩 Enjoy carefully crafted steaks in a relaxing atmosphere that exudes the warmth of wood. Iwataki's appeal lies in the balance of value for money and quality of its steaks. Their carefully selected meat is juicy and tender, with a rich flavor that hits your palate with every bite. 💖 Each steak is carefully grilled to order, ensuring it arrives at the perfect time. The secret to their popularity is not only the generous portions of meat, but also the extensive salad bar and all-you-can-eat side dishes, including rice and soup. It's perfect for family meals, friends, or a slightly indulgent lunch or dinner. There's even a cotton candy machine that's popular with young children (I make one every time! ☁️) The restaurant offers a traditional, unpretentious atmosphere, with flavors and service that will satisfy anyone. Spending time at Iwataki is sure to be a happy time surrounded by delicious meat and loved ones. 📍Location: 11:00-22:00 🕰Business Hours: 1-7-11 Senmaidai Higashi, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture 343-0042 #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

The top tier of Fukuoka Chicken Nanban restaurants is definitely Bombakit. I recommend the grilled mentaiko as a side dish. It's a total kick. If you eat only chicken, it's a little greasy or when you feel tired, take a bite and your appetite will reset. Even if you eat like that, it only costs 1,100 yen~ I highly recommend it.

There is a cafe called cafe803 near Koshigaya Station in Saitama Prefecture, which was renovated from an old house. They mainly sell freshly baked bread, and they also sell curry during lunch hours. In the summer, they also sell shaved ice. The interior of the store has a calm atmosphere with a wooden motif, and the bookshelves are lined with magazines and novels. I enjoyed reading while eating bread. It is also a community space, where yoga and artist events are held. You can participate in events that interest you and interact with people who live in Koshigaya! It was a wonderful cafe that blended in with the area, where there are ways to enjoy things other than just eating. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Koshigaya #Saitama

This is Sagamicho Spot Square in Sagamicho, Saitama Prefecture. Every year from the end of April, many colorful carp streamers swim here. It's close to the river and there's a lot of greenery, so it's very pleasant on sunny days. I usually just pass by, but since I was there, I got off and took a photo. I feel like I've had fewer opportunities to see carp streamers recently. The carp streamers seem to belong to local kindergartens and other places. On sunny days, the carp streamers are reflected on the surface of the river, which is very beautiful. Address 6-452 Sagamicho, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, 343-0823 #EnjoyJapan #Children'sDay #CarpStreamer

#EnjoyJapan What? De Agostini is running a cafe?! I had to look twice. In Aeon Lake Town, there's a cafe where you can enjoy the world of De Agostini, the famous encyclopedia! The interior of the store is filled with models, figurines, and miniatures, and just looking at them is exciting. The cafe menu is also fun and playful! It's a mysterious space that can be enjoyed by anyone, of course, but also by gadget and model fans. It's great that it's unexpected and full of fun, in a place like this. ⸻ [ENGLISH] 【Unexpected find: DeAgostini Café in LakeTown!】 Wait—DeAgostini has a café?! That was my exact reaction when I spotted it inside Aeon LakeTown. Yes, the DeAgostini—the company known for its collectible magazine series and detailed models! The café is decked out with cool displays of miniature models, figures, and science-themed pieces. The menu even has fun, themed items that match the brand’s quirky and curious vibe. A fun and totally unexpected stop for both kids and adults alike! ⸻ #LakeTown #DeAgostini #CafeTour #ModelLover #UnusualSpot #ExperienceCafe #LakeTown #DeAgostiniCafe #UnexpectedFind #ModelLovers #GeekCafe #HiddenGemJapan
