Those are in Gyoda City.
The photograph top is "Inariyama Kofun" which is a burial mound with a square front and a round back.
The photograph bottom is "Maruhakayama Kofun" which is a round burial mound.
When Mitsunari Ishida attacked the Oshi catsle, Maruhakayama Kofun was a place where he set a camp.
At the museum, you can watch a national-treasure-sword "Kinsaku-Mei-Tekken" which a letter of "Wa-Ka-Ta-Ke-Ru" was engraved into.
It is a famous ramen shop near Shiki Station. The performance to burn soup using two burners is interesting, and it is delicious.
Kawagoe is called "Small Edo(Ko-Edo)" for a long time. The cityscape of the Edo era is left.
It is fun to fish a sacred lot "An-Tai Omikuji" at the Kawagoe-Hikawa-jinja Shrine.
A standard souvenir is the cake using sweet potatoes which is the specialty of Kawagoe.
It became a stage of animated cartoon "Lucky☆Star".
There are a lot of enthusiastic fans making a pilgrimage to the sacred place.
I understood the feeling of a person who did the pilgrimage to such place since I was crazy for an animated cartoon "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”.
It is in Kita Ward, Saitama City. By New Shuttle Line, it is the next station of Omiya Station.
The corner that can learn the principle and the structure of a railroad is interesting.

For your information, there is "the hill of Miharashi" in the park. You can overlook Chichibu city there.
It is a festival to launch the super huge rocket fireworks "Ryusei".
It is held every year on second Sunday of October.
The rocket launch sometimes fails.
It is a valley which has a unique landform called Iwadatami.
Chipped Natural Ice of Asami-reizo is a noted product of Nagatoro. It has food texture like snow.
From March to December, it is performed once a month.
You can experience riding a hot air balloon easily in the suburbs of Tokyo.
Because the event has a first-come-first-served basis and a limitation of the number of people, it is necessary for you to get up early.
Though Yakitori means "a barbecued chicken", pork is used in Higashimatsuyama City.
It is eaten with spicy miso dip.
I love "Hire-nankotsu" of a famous Yakitori restaurant,"Kashiraya".

It is a chain store mainly in Saitama.
I like SAGARI steaks.
