Where to stay in Asahicho
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Asahicho gives a traveller an address rather than a hotel quarter, since the beds that serve it belong to Sōka as a whole and the real decision is which part of the Saitama Prefecture city makes for the shortest day. Civic and sporting stock sits on the local list, from Adachi City General Sports Centre to the Yashio City Museum and Archives. AG Soka Shinsho Church stands among them.
Choose it if you want Sōka itself, not sights.

About Asahicho
What are the main landmarks in Asahicho?
No monument carries Asahicho's name. What Sōka records instead is civic and sporting stock, Adachi City General Sports Centre and AG Soka Shinsho Church among it, with the Ikō Archeological Park Exhibition Hall interpreting the excavated ground held at the Ikō Archaeological Site Park. Green space appears too.
The Adachi Park of Living Things sits on the same list of nearby points.
What is the history of Asahicho?
1889 set the frame. Sōka took municipal shape in that year under the name Soka Town, and Asahicho belongs to the layer of named chō by which the Saitama Prefecture city came to order and address its built-up ground. Excavation reaches further back.
Finds from the Ikō Archaeological Site Park are presented at the Ikō Archeological Park Exhibition Hall, and the Yashio City Museum and Archives keeps material from the neighbouring municipality.
Where is Asahicho?
