Yes. Saitama and Tokyo combine well on one trip. As a rough guide, allow 2 days in Saitama and 3 days in Tokyo, around 5 days in total.
How the two connect
Saitama and Tokyo are only about 25 km apart, close enough to combine on the same trip without long transfers, and easy to do as a day trip in either direction. Both are served by Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND), so a single arrival airport covers the pair.
