There is a railroad museum in Omiya. It is a museum that was able to be done by Transportation Museum's in Kanda in Tokyo changing the name and moving to Saitama City. And it is opened on October 14, 2007 and the most popular museum now. The museum is not only see but also can be touching and trying, experiencing.
The following, I introduce the illumination of Saitama Shintosin station that is my closest station. There is the illumination here from about the start in November to the middle of February. It is very beautiful. So a lot of people that have cameras visit there.
My favorite food shop in Omiya is "SENARA". Really, I work there. SENARA is yakiniku restaurant. It is between Yono station and Saitama Shintosin station there. My recommendation menu is a tongue salt on welsh onion and kalbi. Meat is very soft and delicious. The player of URAWA REDS where the training field exists comes to eat in this restaurant. I have seen a lot of famous player there. There is feeling of luxury because most is a private room in this restaurant. Please come to eat once by all means.
