Product Info

Escape the modernity of Tokyo with a day trip to traditional Japan! Soak up the unique atmosphere of Kawagoe!
All you have to do is get to Hon-Kawagoe station (Seibu Railways, departing from Shinjuku or Takadanobaba stations in central Tokyo) and your local guide will be waiting for you at the exit to take you straight to one of the wonders of the city: the Kita-in Temple. Its halls and mysterious courtyard will transport you back in time to a temple steeped in history!
Next, you'll head to Taishō Roman Street, where you'll be transported back to 1910s and 20s Japan, with many buildings over 100 years old and their nostalgic billboards!
On the way, you will also have the opportunity to make a brief visit to a local soy sauce factory, where you will learn how Japan's most important condiment is made, with shopping opportunities.
From there you reach Kawagoe's proudest site, the beautifully preserved Ichiban-gai, a long street of old warehouses that will take you back to the Edo period! Enjoy the magnificent view of the Toki no Kane bell tower, the symbol of the city, and its distinctive silhouette!
You will also get a typical Kawagoe snack on the way before the tour ends at Kashiya Yokochō, the alley where all the sweet shops are located!
The tour then ends, but your guide will provide you with useful printed information on the best places to enjoy lunch or a typical Japanese treat of matcha green tea and wagashi sweets in Kawagoe (not included in the price).
