Living in Higashi-Kawaguchi

A bedroom town of Kawaguchi City where the JR Musashino Line and the Saitama Rapid Railway meet. Because the Saitama Rapid Railway runs through to the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, it takes 37 minutes to Iidabashi without transferring, and 8 minutes to Minami-Urawa. It is quiet with no large entertainment district, but Tokyo Station and Otemachi are in the 50-minute range.

It is a bedroom town of Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, where the JR Musashino Line and the Saitama Rapid Railway meet. Because the Saitama Rapid Railway runs through to the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, it takes 37 minutes to Iidabashi without transferring. It is 8 minutes to Minami-Urawa and 10 minutes to Musashi-Urawa, so getting around within Saitama is especially convenient. With no large commercial facilities or entertainment districts, it is quiet and has many families. However, Tokyo Station and Otemachi are in the 50-minute range and Saitama Rapid Railway fares are on the high side, so it suits people who travel within Saitama or along the Namboku Line.
