Soka, Special city in Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Soka spans 27.46 square kilometers in southeastern Saitama Prefecture, containing five distinct neighborhoods: Shinmei, Sumiyoshi, Chuo, Soka, and Hikawachō.
The area transformed from agricultural land to an important post station on the Nikko Kaido highway in 1630, later achieving city status in November 1958.
The Soka Matsubara, a 1.5-kilometer road lined with 634 pine trees, stands as part of the designated Scenery of the Narrow Road to the Deep North.
The Tobu Skytree Line connects Soka with central Tokyo, while the Tokyo Gaikan Expressway and National Route 4 provide direct road access to the capital.
Miso senbei, a regional rice cracker variety produced in Soka, represents a continuing tradition of local food manufacturing despite the city's industrial development.
