– Stay in Chichibu and savor gourmet food and drinks! –

 

The Chichibu area, just about an 80-minute ride on the express train from the heart of the city, is situated in the western part of Saitama Prefecture.
The surroundings of Chichibu Station boast traditional shopping streets and shrines, where the time-honored culture still thrives.

 

Some of you may have visited Chichibu for its Japanese culture and breathtaking sights, such as the Chichibu Night Festival in winter or the pink-flowered Shibazakura (moss phlox) fields at Hitsujiyama Park in spring.

 

Chichibu’s distinctive terrain, featuring mountains like Mt. Buko and Mt. Ryokami, the Chichibu Basin, and the Arakawa River, has nurtured a diverse culinary culture.

Restaurants that use locally sourced, nature-rich ingredients are situated along Bamba Street, which exudes a retro ambiance and is conveniently located near the station.
