【About Shiraoka City (埼玉県白岡市)】
Located in central Saitama, Shiraoka is a cozy suburban area with plenty of charm and a lower cost of living. While primarily an agricultural area, it also acts as a bedroom community for neighboring Saitama City and the Tokyo metropolis. The Utsunomiya Line runs through it, and even the Shinkansen is accessible from nearby Kuki station, making it a great place to base oneself. Nearby attractions and sights of interest include the Tobu Zoo, Shishi Museum, Seiryu Sake Brewery, and plenty of shrines, temples and parks to visit. Just over 90 minutes to the center of Tokyo by train, Shiraoka is a convenient location to live and work in. It's easily one of the best places to teach in this year as an ALT.
