Car trip video through Japan, focused on "SAITAMA", autumn season.
Your journey in Japan usually starts from Tokyo.
What kind of transportation will you use for your travel?
Shinkansen with JR pass・・・very convenient and nice!
But , if you prefer to visit unseen local areas in Japan, we highly recommend going by car.
It is useful to get to the areas where it's hard to visit by public transportation.
Of course it's possible to combine Shinkansen and car depending on your destination.
From Tokyo, there are a lot of attractive destination where you can't feel in other areas.
One of the options is northward route for Saitama, Gunma and Niigata.
There are both the Shinkansen and the highway belonging these three prefectures from Tokyo and each prefecture has unique attractions.
In this video, we introduce a part of attractions in Saitama through car trip.
Beautiful townscape of kura warehouses, exciting activities in the nature,the local dishes and local craft beer, many photogenic spots…we hope you enjoy the video and we are waiting for your visit.
