Miyashiro

Miyashiro is an administrative town in MinamiSaitama district, Saitama Prefecture, spread across a relatively compact area. It combines residential neighborhoods with open farmland and is served by multiple rail lines.

The present-day town was formed in 1955 from the merger of Monma and Suka villages. Its name draws from two Shinto shrines that have been honored in the area for generations.

The town blends farming traditions with modern community life, showing how rural areas continue to evolve. Locals maintain agricultural practices while new services shape daily routines.

The town is accessible via multiple rail lines including Tobu Isesaki Line and Tobu Skytree Line, which connect to larger centers. Visitors will find basic facilities scattered throughout, so it helps to explore the specific area you plan to visit.

The Tobu Zoo operates within town boundaries as both a zoological park and amusement facility, setting this place apart from typical suburban centers. This combination draws visitors seeking both experiences in one location.
