Introduction to Soka City
This is Science Home Soka store. Today, I would like to introduce Soka city where Science Home Soka store is located.
Soka City is located in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture, with a population of approximately 250,000, making it the sixth largest city in the prefecture after Saitama City, Kawaguchi City, Kawagoe City, Tokorozawa City, and Koshigaya City.
Known for Soka Matsubara and Soka Senbei, during the Edo period it flourished as Soka-juku, the second post town from Edo on the Nikko Kaido road, and the surrounding area was a rice paddy region where rice cultivation was thriving.
After the war, the city's population was less than 50,000, but in 1963, during the period of high economic growth, the population exploded with the development of Matsubara Danchi, said to be the largest housing complex in the Orient at the time, and direct service between the Tobu Isesaki Line (Tobu Skytree Line) and the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, and the city underwent rapid urbanization.
Subsequently, in 2003, Tobu Isesaki began direct service with the Hanzomon Line and Tokyu Denentoshi Line, further improving access to the city center.
The city borders Adachi Ward, Tokyo, on the south side across the Kenaga River, and as more people commute to work or school in the Tokyo area, residential areas have expanded widely within the city.
Travelling by car is now much easier than by train, with the opening of the Tokyo Outer Ring Expressway and National Route 298, which uses the area underneath the elevated Tokyo Expressway, in addition to the existing National Route 4 linking the north and south. Travelling between east and west has also become much easier with the opening of the Tokyo Outer Ring Expressway and National Route 298, which uses the area underneath the elevated Tokyo Expressway.
As a tourist spot in the city,
・Soka Inn Imayo Honjin ・Soka Shrine ・Tofukuji Temple ・Jinzaemon Weir
・Locomotive at Hikawa Park, next to the approach to Soka Shrine
There are many more, but the one I recommend the most is Jinzaemon Weir!
Jinzaemon Weir
Prefectural designated tangible cultural property (building)
Location: 2-145-1 Shinmei, Soka City, and other locations in Fudabagashi Park
Approximately 32,500 black horizontal bricks were used, using a technique known as "Dutch bond" or "English bond." Although the structure uses old-style black horizontal bricks, judging from the date it was built, it is one of the last remaining structures to use this type of brick. Not only is the design beautiful, it is also in an extremely good state of preservation, making it a valuable structure in the history of agricultural civil engineering and ceramic technology.
If you have time, please visit the town of Soka.
