Study in Tokyo's Friendly Neighbor 埼玉
Saitama offers students an ideal balance between convenient access to Tokyo and a more relaxed, affordable lifestyle. Located just north of Japan's capital, this diverse prefecture provides all the benefits of the Greater Tokyo Area while maintaining its own distinct character.
With excellent transportation links to central Tokyo (often just 30 minutes by train), students can enjoy the best of both worlds – easy access to Tokyo's opportunities while living in a less crowded, more budget-friendly environment with parks, cultural attractions, and a strong sense of community.
Students in Saitama benefit from:
Significantly lower housing costs compared to central Tokyo
Excellent train connections with quick access to Tokyo (typically 30-40 minutes)
Access to quality educational institutions including Saitama University
Balance of urban convenience and peaceful residential neighborhoods
Unique cultural attractions such as the Railway Museum and Omiya Bonsai Village
Let Arigatho guide you through your Saitama adventure with comprehensive support for accommodation, school applications, and daily life adaptation.
