Founded in 2004, Kasukabe City has a 50-year history. It is the seventh most populous area in Saitama Prefecture and has become a core city. Its main specialty is paulownia chests and boxes. Kasukabe City is known as the setting for the children's anime "Crayon Shin-chan." As a result, there are many TV-related tourist spots, such as the Kasukabe Information Center "Plat Kasukabe" and the arcade "Crayon Shin-chan: Storm Called Buri Buri Cinema Studio." Furthermore, wisteria flowers, designated a special natural monument, can be seen in the wisteria of Ushijima. The wisteria flowers hanging from the wisteria trellises offer a slightly different charm from the cherry blossoms, a typical spring sight.
