A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
熊谷市
Kumagaya offers temple carvings, a small garden and river scenery in northern Saitama. Menuma is separate from the station-area garden; choose one first outing.
This guide covers places within Kumagaya, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
