Another is Todabashi Fireworks festival in summer. This event is taken place with the fireworks display in Itabashi Tokyo in same day. So we can see two fireworks across Arakawa river at the same time. That's very beautiful.
Todabashi Fireworks festival 2010.
If you visit this city, I want you to see Toda Civic Folk Museum and Saiko Nature Study Center. In Toda Civic Folk Museum, is exhibited archives, the copper bell, models of houses, etc. And special exhibitions or lectures are held sometimes, so that we can study history of Toda city from ancient to modern times. In addition, this place is near Toda station, and the admission fee is free. So it is easy for us to go to this place.
In Saiko Nature Study Center, is exhibited specimens, pictures, actual objects of creatures living around Arakawa river. Also because of this place is surrounded with rich nature, we can see various real creatures or plants. And if the weather is nice, we can see Mt.Fuji from the rooftop.
And you should do following two things. First, go to Saiko Doman Green Park and enjoy a barbecue, fishing, cycling and various sports. In this park, untouched nature remains well. So we can enjoy those things seeing different scene every season.
Second, go to Saikanoyu and take natural hot spring baths. There are not only twelve baths but also a restaurant and rooms of tatami and massage corners here. Using those, we can relax. Also because of there are free pick-up buses from Todakoen station and Takashimadaira station, we can go to this place easily.
Toda city has many interesting things else I don't know yet and I can't introduce well. So I would like you to visit this city yourself!
Thank you for your excellent introduction to Toda! Actually, I haven't heard of this town before so it was very informative to me. Have you been to this onsen? As I like hot springs, I think I had better check this one out.

DeleteThank you for your comment. When I say that I live in Toda, not only you but also many people say that "I don't know that town." So I think this town is unknown.
Actually, I haven't been to this onsen. On the contrary, I didn't know this onsen until write this blog. So it is good for me too to research and introduce my hometown in this time.
Hi, I'm Natsumi. I live in Saitama, too. But I don't live in Toda, I live in Koshigaya. I have not been to Toda. I want to see Fireworks and go to hot springs!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am Mamiko. I am surprised at Todabashi Fireworks Festival that has two spots to see fireworks! That must be beautiful. And I would like to try Saikanoyu. Toda has many places to go! Good!
