Hotels in Saitama, Japan

Saitama sits just north of Tokyo, with hot summers (around 86°F or 30°C) and chilly winters (about 41°F or 5°C). It's famous for Kawagoe's "Little Edo" district, where 19th-century warehouses and a fire bell tower let you step back in time-best visited in spring or fall to avoid the heat or rain. In winter, hike the Chichibu mountains for frosty shrines and clear skies, while summer is perfect for cycling along the Arakawa River or catching a J. League soccer match at Saitama Stadium 2002.
