Kazo city


Hello, everyone! I'm Mizuki.

I was born in Kazo city in Saitama prefecture. Kazo is northeast in Saitama, and from Kazo it takes about one and a half hours to go to Sinjuku or Sibuya in Tokyo by train.

Kazo is famouse for carp streamers, which are called Koinobori. On May 5th, Jambo Koinobori, which is about 100 meters long, is put up on Tone river. It's very very big and strong! Many people from all over Japan visit Kazo to see it every year.

I hope many more people will visit Kazo and enjoy seeing the traditional culture of Kazo, especially this Jambo Koinobori :)
