Drive by place in Saitama

Could you suggest drive by activities or scenic spots within Saitama? Would love to drive around during weekends or holidays but of course take into consideration our safety, hence an activity not requiring to get off the car is preferred. Thanks in advance for your responses. :)

    Hello! I'd recommend checking the website of fellow CityCost contributor @Saitama. The link is here: https://insaitama.com/. She has an absolute wealth of info about great things to see and do in the area and I'm sure plenty of them are social-distance friendly!

    Would you consider off the beaten path locations where you can get out of the car and walk in safety? I can recommend some spots if so. As for driving - anywhere in Chichibu, particularly Ogano and Yokoze, Nagatoro too. Kamikawa is another good area. Hanno too. The rural area of Kawajima, Okegawa and Ageo also. Are you looking for a particular driving route? I have one on the blog that genkidesu suggested - in the Higashimatsuyama / Hatoyama area. Ogose is also a really beautiful area to drive through. Where are you located? I feel I'm not being specific enough, but I guess it depends on what area you are in or are interested in.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
