Find a view and a small meal.
小川町
Ogawa is a town in Saitama. Explore nature and past daily life through Sengen-yama Miharashi-no-Oka Park’s views and Yoshida Residence. Distinguish the residence from similarly named homes in other prefectures and check transport to each stop.
This guide covers places within Ogawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
