Saitama is NW of Tokyo and it may appear as far, but I think there are only small towns and cities between the affected area and Tokyo. I don't imagine small towns can readily accommodate too many people. Larger cities may be more prepared to accept a large influx of population, though I don't believe many have relocated. I think the majority are still at evac centers and are waiting for temporary housing closer to home.
