Kumagaya, Special city in Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Kumagaya spans across multiple neighborhoods including Chūjō, Imai, Kami-Chūjō, Ōtsuka, and Ozone, forming a substantial urban center in northern Saitama Prefecture.
The city establishment dates back to April 1, 1889, when it emerged from the consolidation of smaller municipalities within the former Osato District.
The Menuma Shodenzan Kangiin Temple, constructed in 1179, stands as the first national treasure of Saitama Prefecture, displaying traditional Japanese religious architecture.
JR Kumagaya Station connects travelers to Tokyo Station in 39 minutes via Shinkansen, making it an efficient transportation hub for commuters and visitors.
The Nogoji Temple grounds transform during June with 8,000 hydrangea plants creating expansive flower gardens throughout the temple complex.
