About Midoricho
What are the main landmarks in Midoricho?
Listings for Midoricho record no temple, no museum and no park worth the trip. What the district has is the ordinary furniture of a Saitama-ken suburb, so anyone chasing sights leaves it behind and looks to Tokorozawa, to Higashimurayama, or further out across Japan. Sightseeing starts elsewhere.

Records begin with Tokorozawa. Midoricho appears as an administrative slice of that city, and the sources carry no founding date, no charter and no separate story for the blocks that hold the name. Its past belongs to Tokorozawa and to Saitama-ken, the wider unit that frames every district here.
Where is Midoricho?
Midoricho sits inside Tokorozawa, in Saitama-ken. No river, coast or hill is recorded within the district, whose edges follow city lines rather than the land.
