This time, we're going on a trip around the "railway blank zone" that exists in the government-designated city of Saitama!

Starting from Omiya Station, the transportation heart of Saitama, we made use of trains and local buses to visit an area far from a train station.

"Is there such a place in the big city of Saitama?" "Is it really an hour's walk from the nearest station?"

To investigate such questions, we will explore the unknown side of Saitama City together with the familiar(?) Zundamon.

▼Highlights of this trip

More than an hour's walk from the station!? The reality of the railroad-free zone that spreads across Iwatsuki Ward and Sakura Ward

Traveling by local bus (Asahi Motor Bus/Kokusai Kogyo Bus) that serves as the local residents' means of transportation

Peaceful scenery, water gates, a fragrant bread factory...discoveries in the railroad-free zone

A strange journey filled with Zundamon's misunderstandings and quips

A journey that reminds us of the value of public transportation

Saitama City has an image of a city with convenient rail transport, but if you change your perspective a little, you'll find areas supported by bus transport and scenery that can only be found in places far from the station.

Why not experience the "everyday life" that we usually overlook while being rocked by a local bus?
