Chichibu is located in west of Saitama prefecture (Saitama is just west side next to Tokyo), very relaxing place and surrounded in a lot of mountains.
There are more shrines which are unique and surrounded by nature, especially being able to enjoy seasonal flowers. Each season, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, you can see 4 different types of “face” natures.
In recent years, Chichibu is also famous as spots used by some Anime scenes, for example, “Anohana” (The Flower We Saw That Day) and Crayon Shinchan movie for Old Chichibu Bridge.
Also, Chichbu should be the best spot for hiking, traditional shrines, and great Ryokan hotels.
The biggest annual event is the Chichibu Night Festival that takes place every December and is ranked among the top three festivals featuring floats with Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri and the Takayama Matsuri.
A lot of people from all areas in Japan are coming to Chichibu for the above sightseeing and camping. Overseas including Australia, there are not so many people who know Chichibu. It should be the best holiday spot for you and sort of hidden, secret place for your holiday.
