Toda, Industrial city in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

Toda is a city in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, sitting on the flat plain beside the Ara River. Residential blocks and factories fill the urban space between transport routes leading toward Tokyo.

Three villages came together in 1941 and formed the town of Toda. A quarter century later it received city status in 1966.

The name recalls the three villages that joined together to form this community. Today the urban landscape shows residential blocks and factories where commuters from Tokyo make their homes.

Several train lines and bridges link the city to central Tokyo and make daily travel easy. Visitors staying here can reach the capital within a short time.

The rowing course was built for the 1964 Olympics and is still used for competitions today. Athletes from across the region train regularly on the water there.
