Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kazo in Saitama offers udon, carp-streamer crafts, shrines and spring wisteria. Check separate onward transport from Kazo station to Kisai and Fudooka. Spring flowers are not autumn scenery.

This guide covers places within Kazo, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
