All Reviews of Omiya Park, Saitama Prefecture

Omiya Park is right next to Hikawa Shrine. While visiting the shrine, I wandered over to the park and quietly sat by the lake, watching the sunlight shimmer on the water. In the chilly weather, I bought a hot can of corn potage from a vending machine to warm my hands while admiring the shrine’s elegant, traditional architecture. I blended right in and experienced the everyday life of local Japanese people. It was an incredibly relaxing and pleasant time. There is also a small zoo in the park that you can visit, making it a unique, slow-paced experience.

If you love nature, you’ll absolutely love this place. It’s perfect for a walk with your partner, and the scenery is a huge plus.
