Tokyo Bike Ride - Aug 2026 - Ancient tombs in Saitama

Tokyo Bike Ride - Aug 8 2026 I rode up to near HigashiMatsuYama in Saitama, to visit the Yoshimi Hykuana; ancient tombs carved into the cliff face. They were created about 1,300 years ago. Just down the road from the tombs is a small shrine with a few surprises. Then on to lunch at a local Indian restaurant called Namaste Nippon. It was a hot day, with temperatures up to 34C.
