Saitama is the capital and largest city of Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Its area incorporates the former cities of Urawa, Ōmiya, Yono and Iwatsuki. It is a city designated by government ordinance. As of 1 February 2021, the city had an estimated population of 1,324,854, and a population density of 6,093 people per km2. Its total area is 217.43 square kilometres (83.95 sq mi).
Reading Saitama against the global hubs: Tokyo (~26 km), Singapore (~5,327 km), Sydney (~7,851 km) are the close ones, with São Paulo (~18,514 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
Saitama sits inside Japón — the Eastern Asia subregion, capital Tokyo, languages Japanese, currency JPY (¥).
The closest mapped neighbors of Saitama are Yono (3 km), Sashiōgi (7 km), Hasuda (7 km), Iwatsuki (7 km), so commuter, logistics and same-day-trip planning will usually pull from this cluster.
Upcoming country holiday signals around Saitama: Shōwa Day, Constitution Memorial Day, Greenery Day. Bake those into launch, on-call, and travel windows for Japón.
Closest curated airport references from Saitama: HND Tokyo (42 km), NRT Narita (68 km), KIJ Niigata (233 km).
In 2004, CBS News releases evidence of the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse. The photographs show rape and abuse from the American troops over Iraqi detainees.
Japanese workday pages become more useful when they explain how early US calls and late Europe calls actually fit into the local day.
