Saitama accommodation from NZ$89

The Shibuya Granbell hotel can be found 25 kilometres away from the middle of Saitama. Another alternative is the Capsule Inn Hamamatsucho, which is positioned 25 kilometres away. If you'd prefer, you could make a booking at the Concieria Shiba Koen or the Tokyo Ariake BAY HOTEL.

Don't hit the road without taking a look at what's on offer in the rest of the region. Kanto is known for beaches, along with common Kanto attractions like the ruins, castles and historic palaces. Or spend some time snowboarding while you're here.

Don't skedaddle before you have checked out the Kumagaya Sports Culture Park, Yukoku-ji Temple and Musashi Kyuryo National Government Park in Kumagaya. If you'd like to spend a few nights in Kumagaya, be sure to check out the R&B Hotel Kumagaya-ekimae and Smile Hotel Kumagaya. Fukaya, home to the Hana Hotel Fukaya & Spa and Hotel Route-Inn Fukaya Ekimae, is 50 kilometres to the northwest of Saitama. If you're staying in Fukaya, you might like to visit the Aqua Paradise Patio, Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Museum and Fukuya Green Kingdom.

Before you say "catch ya later" to Kanto, ensure you catch some sport. Find Tokyo Dome to the south of Saitama. Want to stay near the action? The Concieria Shiba Koen and the Top Asakusa Apartment could both be perfect.

Located 40 kilometres away from Saitama is Haneda Airport. Stay nearby at the Hotel Jal City Haneda Tokyo or the Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu.
