Saitama Hall

Saitama Hall contains two performance spaces: a main auditorium with 1,315 seats and a smaller hall accommodating 504 spectators across multiple floors.

The initial structure from 1926, built to commemorate Emperor Showa's wedding, underwent complete reconstruction in 1966 under architect Kunio Maekawa's direction.

The venue stands among Japan's 100 recognized concert halls, regularly hosting classical orchestras, musical performances, and regional cultural celebrations throughout the year.

Located six minutes from Urawa Station, the facility includes exhibition rooms, meeting spaces, restaurants, and Japanese-style rooms across nine structural levels.

The concert hall features extensive wooden elements in its construction, contributing to exceptional acoustic properties that remain consistent since its 1966 opening.
