Understand

Saitama forms a sort of buffer zone between the grey sprawl of Tokyo and the mountains of Gunma prefecture. It's largely residential, with few attractions, and Tokyo wags like to refer to it as dasaitama ("uncool-tama").

However, if you'll be in Saitama anyway, for work or whatever reason, it isn't completely without things to do.
