Tokorozawa
8.2
Mid score (6-8)
Tokorozawa has undergone a real identity shift with the 2020 opening of Tokorozawa Sakura Town — the massive Kadokawa-backed complex housing the Angle's Ladder museum, manga archive facilities, and otaku-focused retail pulled Tokorozawa into Japan's pop culture geography in a serious way. The city already had a relatively young population due to Seibu Ikebukuro Line access and university presence. Women who engage with anime and manga culture here are more internationally-minded than average and social barriers are lower than in typical Saitama suburbs. The city of about 340,000 has enough mass to support actual bars and restaurants — it's the most culturally active mid-size city in western Saitama.
