Kitamoto City, Saitama Prefecture
Kitamoto City, with a population of about 65,000, is a town that draws a gentle green gradient where beautiful woodlands and copses sit side by side with daily life, despite its location 45 kilometers from the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Kitamoto City, which is also the highest point of the Omiya Plateau, is highly evaluated as a "disaster-resilient town" due to few earthquakes and flood damages.
Furthermore, the abundance of Jomon period ruins, including the "Denotame Ruins" (designated as a national historic site in October, Reiwa 6 / 2024), is proof that it has been chosen as a place where people can live safely with rich nature since ancient times.
