Hidaka, Suburban city in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Hidaka extends across 47.48 square kilometers of land in south-central Saitama Prefecture, bordered by Hannō, Kawagoe, Moroyama, Sakado, Sayama, and Tsurugashima.

The territory of modern Hidaka originated in 716 AD as a settlement area for refugees fleeing from the Tang invasion of Goguryeo in 668 AD.

The city maintains regular festivals celebrating seasonal changes and agricultural traditions, with active participation from its 55,294 residents across 24,328 households.

The transportation network includes services on JR East's Hachikō Line, Kawagoe Line, and Seibu Ikebukuro Line, connecting residents to major urban centers.

Hidaka developed around Takahagi-shuku, a strategic post station on the Nikkō Wakiōkan highway that connected Edo with Nikkō during the feudal period.
