Kazo City in Saitama Prefecture is known as the number one producer of carp streamers in Japan. In addition to carp streamers, the city is also famous for its handmade udon noodles. While there are many shopping malls and restaurants in the city center, once you leave the city, you'll find a lush natural environment. It's a city where areas with robust urban functions and areas rich in nature are beautifully balanced. Tobu Railway runs through the city. Major roads include the Tohoku Expressway, National Route 122, National Route 125, National Route 354, and National Route 4. The Watarase Retarding Basin, where you can enjoy fishing, yachting, and surfing, is a popular spot that's gaining attention these days, thanks to its Ramsar Convention registration.
