Saitama Super Arena It’s hard to think of a sport or genre of music or performance that hasn’t been presented at the Saitama Super Arena. Large enough to accommodate American football, it holds regular martial arts competitions as well as hosting some of Asia’s and the world’s biggest names. Tokyo architecture firm Nikken Sekkei designed the arena. It serves as the basketball venue for the 2020 Olympics. Get tickets to a concert or a competition and come to Saitama for a taste of real Japanese fan culture.

Omiya Park Northwest of Tokyo, Omiya Park is an excellent place to see cherry blossoms in Japan, but it is much more than that. Spread across 165 acres (67 hectares) not far from downtown Saitama, it has enough activities for a whole week of fun. Make the trip to see the cherry blossoms in spring. At other times, groves of red pines and pink-flowered apricots brighten the area, while a community atmosphere exists year round.

Nack5 Stadium Omiya With a passionate fan base and a cozy stadium, Nack5 Stadium is almost a shortcut to feeling a part of Japanese soccer culture. Soccer is Japan’s second-most popular sport, after baseball, and was introduced to the country in the late 19th century. In the past few decades, its profile has only grown, with the national team qualifying for nearly every World Cup since 1998\. Get a sense of the passion behind the sport by attending an Omiya Ardija game at Nack5.

Omiya Bonsai Art Museum Omiya Bonsai Art Museum confirms that the art of bonsai sculpting is much more than it seems. The museum, opened in 2010, is the world’s first public bonsai museum and seeks to impart both the historical significance and the creativity of the art. Find it in the heart of Omiya Bonsai Village, where a group of professional bonsai gardeners immigrated in the 1920s to turn the town into a celebration of the tiny trees. Visit the museum and tour the nearby gardens with a new appreciation of the bonsai’s form.

Keyaki Hiroba On any given evening, weekday or weekend, you’ll find a party going on in the Keyaki Hiroba. Located next to Saitama Super Arena, one of Tokyo’s biggest entertainment venues, and not far from most of Saitama’s downtown attractions, it is the destination of choice for a good time. During the day, the small mall has a variety of restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacies and more, but in the evening, the second-floor courtyard livens up. Stop here for a few hours or check the calendar to attend one of Saitama’s famous beer festivals.

The Museum of Modern Art, Saitama Even from the outside, it is clear that the Museum of Modern Art in Saitama is on the forefront of design innovation. Usually referred to as MOMAS, it lives in a striking gridded building designed by the famous architect Kurokawa Kisho. His inventive creation allows natural light to flood nearly every room of the museum.

Numakage Park On a hot Tokyo summer day, Numakage Park is a refreshing oasis. Its huge complex of public pools, indoors and outdoors, make it easy to spend an entire day hopping from one pool to the other with only brief snack breaks. In winter, rent skates and head out onto the ice or have a swim as well in the indoor pool. Locals visit Numakage Park regularly, so join them, no matter the weather outside.
