2025 Omiya Ward Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Aobaen is a park cemetery in Omiya. It is very spacious and there is a large wisteria near the main gate, which is a natural monument. This year, the season has passed, but it is very beautiful, so please go next year. 𓈒𓆸 If you go to the back of the garden, there is a lantern corridor. It seems to change with the season, but you can still see it. The flower water fountain was cute and beautiful. The garden is carefully maintained in every corner, and a gardener was taking care of it on this day. It is far from the station, but it is close to the nearest bus stop, so why not take a walk after lunch in Omiya? __________AobaenAdd: 5-1505 Mitsuhashi, Nishi-ku, Saitama City, Saitama PrefectureAccess: 15 minutes by bus from the west exit of Omiya Station 🅿︎ Available__________ #Saitama trip #Saitama sightseeing #Aobaen #Travel with me

A little far from Omiya Station. This shop is quite close to Hikawa Shrine, so I recommend this shop after visiting the shrine. It may be a little intimidating for first timers, but once you enter, you'll feel very relaxed. ☕️ It's said that the coffee here is the best, or maybe not... 🫢 I ordered onion soup, spinach quiche, and milk tea. They're also famous for their apple pie 🍎 It was great to spend some time relaxing while looking at the greenery of Omiya 🌱 The owner was also kind and heartwarming. They also have jazz performances in the evenings, so if you're interested, check it out 🎶 📍Address: YCC Building, 2-1-1 Asama-cho, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0842 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-19:00 (closed Wednesdays and Thursdays) #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Omiya

UP COFFEE is a cafe located a short walk from Omiya Station, boasting its home-roasted coffee and comfortable space. The biggest attraction is the specialty coffee that is carefully brewed one cup at a time. The owner carefully roasts fresh beans carefully selected by the owner, and the coffee is hand-dripped for each order, allowing you to enjoy the original flavor and characteristics of the beans. The aroma of coffee spreads softly throughout the store, making it a relaxing space just to visit. In addition, light meals such as handmade sweets, baked goods, and sandwiches that go well with coffee are also popular. The menu, which focuses on ingredients and seasonal tastes, further enhances the deliciousness of the coffee. I ordered lemon cake 📕 It had a strong lemon flavor and was delicious 🍋 The interior is bright and simple, with a natural interior that gives off the warmth of wood. The light that shines in through the window is gentle, and you can spend your time reading or working alone, chatting with friends, or doing whatever you like. In addition, baristas will give you detailed advice on how to enjoy coffee and how to choose beans, so everyone from beginners to coffee connoisseurs can find a cup of coffee that they will be satisfied with. 📍Address: 2-123 Yoshikicho, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0843 🕰️Business hours: 9:00-17:00 (closed on Tuesdays) #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Omiya

Just a 5-minute walk from Saitama Shintoshin Station, Anglampa is a beloved patisserie that attracts not only locals but also customers from far away 🍰. It's not uncommon to see lines forming outside. The charm of this shop lies in its authentic French-style sweets, crafted with techniques straight from the heart of France. The showcase is filled with vibrant and beautifully presented cakes and baked goods. One bite reveals a perfect balance of sweetness, aroma, and texture, making it irresistible for French pastry lovers like me. Depending on the season, you can enjoy tarts made with fresh, seasonal fruits, rich chocolate treats, or light and airy cream puffs. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong! The shop also offers an eat-in space, and enjoying gelato on the terrace is particularly delightful. The staff provides excellent service, making it easy for first-time visitors or those looking for gift recommendations to feel at ease. With a dedication to authentic French flavors and a passion for pastry-making, this is a must-visit patisserie for any sweets enthusiast. 📍Location: 〒330-0843 Saitama Prefecture, Saitama City, Omiya Ward, Yoshiki-cho 4-187-1 🕰️Business Hours: 10:00-18:30 (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)

Shabuyo is a very popular restaurant where you can enjoy all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu at an affordable price. For a limited time, you can enjoy the all-you-can-eat beef tongue, which was very popular last year🐮‼️㊗️ This year, they will be offering twice as much beef tongue as last year🤭♡ If you order the beef tongue course, you can choose "lemon herb soup" for free🍋 It's refreshing and goes well with beef tongue, so I recommend it! Also, from this time, the all-you-can-eat course will come with "tororo" (grated yam)! The way they officially recommend wrapping beef tongue in green onions and dipping it in tororo is exquisite✨ One of the fun things about Shabuyo is that you can combine ingredients and sauces to find your favorite customization! I tried it with yuzu kosho and it was delicious🙆♀️ It is currently scheduled to be held until mid-July, so if you're interested, please come! Store I visited: Shabuyo Omiya Raccoon Store 📍Address: 4th floor, 401, 1-60 Miyamachi, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0802 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-23:30 #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Shabuyo

The summer tradition, the Curry Festival, has returned 🍛 It seems there were many requests for its revival, and it's being held again after two years! Among the offerings like curry, tandoori chicken sandwiches, and lassi, the item I had my eye on and was eagerly waiting for was the "Chai Shaved Ice" 🤎 I've visited various shaved ice specialty shops, but this is my first time encountering chai flavor! Chai, the spiced milk tea originating from India, has been recreated as shaved ice, and I had high expectations when I went to try it. I was thoroughly satisfied as the shaved ice captured the authentic spiciness of chai perfectly ♡ It also has a touch of sweetness, making it easy to enjoy 🎶 You can add various toppings like condensed milk or red bean paste ◎ I had it plain, but the recommended pairing is with soft serve ice cream. Unlike shaved ice specialty shops that offer a variety of ingredients, this dish relies solely on its syrup, so if you tend to get bored with the same flavor, I suggest trying some toppings ✨ Additionally, I ordered the regular size, but if you feel you can't eat that much, there's also a mini size available, so give it a try! The store I visited: Komeda Coffee Omiya Kamikocho Branch 📍 Address: 〒330-0855 Saitama Prefecture, Saitama City, Omiya Ward, Kamikocho 57-1 🕰️ Business Hours: 7:00-23:00 (Available at all locations)

Maybe because it's a little hard to find, this cafe hasn't been discovered that much yet 🍪☕️ It's a 5-minute walk from Omiya Station, so it's very accessible ◎ I went in the spring, so I ordered a cherry blossom cream soda and rare cheesecake. My friend ordered eggs Benedict. I love cafes where you can taste the seasons 🌸 The food is delicious, of course! There are basically seats available even on weekends, so if you're tired of the crowded commercial facilities in the station, I recommend this place 🎶 📍Address: 1F-B, Kurihashi Building, 1-63 Daimon-cho, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0846 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-21:00 (closed Wednesdays and Thursdays) #EnjoyJapan #Omiya #Cafe

"Arche" is a commercial facility that anyone from Saitama would know. This place is on trend and is very popular with JKs♡ As I got older, I didn't have any reason to go there anymore, so I haven't been there for a few years, but I went back for the first time in a while, so I'll report on it👟 I'll introduce you to some spots that even people over 20 can enjoy🎶 One of the 44 Disney stores nationwide was still here🐭 The speed at which new products run out here is slower than in Tokyo, so I remembered that if there was an item I couldn't find in Tokyo, I would always buy it here. Previously, it was mainly Purikura, but the area for crane games and gachapon has increased! It's very convenient for killing time, so I'd like to use it in the future🥹♡ There are also many interesting shops such as cat cafes and happy pancakes. There is also Gong Cha, and although there are still a lot of JKs, it has become a commercial facility that makes you want to drop in more than before! If you stop by Omiya, please do! 📍Address: 2-1-1 Sakuragicho, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0854 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-21:00 (20:30 on Sundays) #EnjoyJapan #Omiya #Saitama

When you think of bubble tea, you think of "Gong Cha"! It's such a popular store. But did you know that there is a concept store that is different from the regular stores? Currently, there are two stores, one in Omotesando and one in Omiya, and one is scheduled to open in Akihabara within this month, but what is the difference? I would like to introduce the differences and tell you about the appeal to those who are wondering. First of all, the menu📕 There are original menus, limited drinks, sweets, etc. that are not available at the regular stores. The previously popular limited-time menu has been revived as a concept store limited menu🎶 In addition, the interior and design are special specifications, making it a more sophisticated, calm, and stylish cafe-like space. The eat-in space is spacious, and they place importance on a style that makes it easy to stay for a long time. This shop is perfect for Gong Cha fans, as they also sell the actual tea leaves and goods used in the tea. ♡ 📍Address: 2-1-1 Sakuragicho, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-0854 Omiya Arche 2F 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-21:00 #Let's go to Asia #Omiya #Saitama #Tapioca

#getgoing2025 I stopped by DJANGO BANQUET in Saitama Shin-Toshin with a friend for a relaxing tea break, and it was such a great find! The cafe has a really cool, stylish atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to unwind. Not only can you enjoy delicious drinks and desserts, but they also sell clothes and interior items, which adds a nice touch to the place. It’s a cozy yet trendy spot where you can really enjoy some downtime. We tried their Raspberry Cheesecake, and it was amazing! The cheesecake was smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the tangy raspberry topping. It paired beautifully with a cup of tea, making it a wonderful treat. The entire vibe of the cafe is just so relaxed and inviting, perfect for chatting with friends or enjoying a peaceful moment on your own. Why you should visit DJANGO BANQUET: Stylish, relaxing atmosphere with a unique blend of interior decor for sale Delicious desserts, especially the raspberry cheesecake 📍Address: 4-263-1 Kishikicho, Omiya Ward, Saitama, 330-0843, Japan #Saitama #Japan #DJANGOBANQUET #CafeVibes

A new and attractive cafe has opened in Omiya✨ It may be a hidden gem!! The most popular item at this cafe is the crispy, freshly fried churros! They were so crispy that they fell off when I tried to take a photo. 💦 I thought that if they were a little thicker they would look more like churros, but they were still cute looking! They have a wide variety of drinks, including coffee, cafe latte, matcha latte, cocoa, and chai latte✨ There are also tables with electrical outlets, so it's perfect for doing light work! It's spacious with a second floor, but I wonder if it's a bar at night? The second floor had a strong cigarette smell, so if you don't like cigarettes, I recommend the first floor! #FuriTabi #OmiyaGourmet #OmiyaCafe #SaitamaCafe #SaitamaGourmet
