Gyoda, Historical city in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

The Tone River and Arakawa River flow through Gyoda, creating fertile plains that rise approximately 20 meters above sea level across 67 square kilometers.

Oshi Castle, constructed in the 15th century, stood strong against military forces in 1590 and remains a central landmark after its 1988 reconstruction.

The city maintains the Tabi and Lifestyle Museum, where visitors observe the manufacturing process of traditional Japanese split-toe workwear footwear.

Travelers reach Gyoda from Tokyo in 60 minutes by taking direct trains from either Ueno Station or Ikebukuro Station on the JR Shonan Shinjuku Line.

Ancient lotus flowers at Kodai Hasu no Sato park grew from 2000-year-old seeds discovered during local construction, presenting 42 different varieties.
