Saitama Museum of Rivers (埼玉県立川の博物館)
4.0
Opened in 1997, the Saitama Museum of Rivers teaches visitors through a variety of workshops about the Arakawa River, Saitama’s most prominent waterway, as well as the relationship between rivers and people’s lives. Its Arakawa Wakuaku Land facility is open from the Spring Equinox until the mid-November. This extremely popular “water athletics” park lets visitors learn about the scientific properties of water, flood control, and water use first hand through various activities.

Review of Saitama Museum of Rivers
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating水車の近くに行くと、上から雨のように水しぶきが飛んできます!
こんにゃくを作るための水車もあり、博物館に入る前から面白いです。
博物館は荒川の歴史と人々と川の関わりがよく分かるように展示されていて、荒川の流れが体感できる体験シアターもあります。
展示内容から子供の自由研究に持ってこいです!
台風19号の被害で、駐車場が一部閉鎖...
ここへは池袋から東武東上線に乗って鉢形駅から歩いて15分ほどでした。荒川のほとりに公園があります。

Saitama Areas

Eclipsed by neighboring Tokyo, Saitama is often branded as the sleepy suburbs. However, look a little deeper and you’ll uncover quaint towns bursting with history and crafts from the kurazukuri Edo-period clay houses of Kawagoe to the ancient tree-enveloped temples of Chichibu.
