Kitamoto

Kitamoto spans across 19.82 square kilometers of land in east-central Saitama Prefecture, along the central reaches of the Arakawa River.

The area transformed from Kitamotojuku Station in 1928 to an established city in 1943, marking its development from a small settlement into a municipal entity.

The city displays Japanese suburban living patterns with eight elementary schools, four middle schools, and one high school serving the educational needs of 66,022 residents.

The Takasaki Line at Kitamoto Station handles 18,491 daily passengers, connecting residents to major destinations including Ueno, Tokyo, and Yokohama through multiple railway services.

Three railway lines intersect at Kitamoto Station: the Takasaki Line, Shonan-Shinjuku Line, and Ueno-Tokyo Line, making it a central transport node in Saitama Prefecture.
