explanation: Saitama prefecture occupies the central part of Kanto region adjacent to Tokyo from the north. Its surface is 3,799 km2 and the population 5.8 millions. The prefectural office is at Urawa City. Tokyo becoming bigger and bigger, the southern part of Saitama appears as a simple extension of the capital. There, the most of people go to work in Tokyo while the remaining fields supply vegetables for the citizens. The rice culture is prosperous on the northern region.
