Since the start of 2023, this page showcases events by month. Below you will find a round up of the events on this June in Saitama Prefecture. Moreover, I add new events all the time, so please do pop back every now and then. Each event is linked to a page with further information. However, as events by their very nature are tentative, please do always check with the official websites (linked within each post) for any last minute changes and the most up to date information.

Weekend events in June
Hereafter, events on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, I only include weekday events if they are public holidays, with the occasional exception. But anything in the daily list is available on weekdays, if the venue is open. Often attractions are closed one day a week, with Monday closures being the most common. Also, bear in mind, some of these events are dependent on the weather! The ⇗ symbol in front of a link indicates that the link is to an external, usually Japanese language, source.
