2025 Kawagoe Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#2024Travel Review Kawagoe, known as "Little Edo", has cultural streets with Edo characteristics. The streets are full of handsome men and beauties in kimono, as if they have "traveled" through time and space! It is famous for its super photogenic old street scenery and snacks. In addition to Kamakura in Kanagawa, Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture is relatively close to Tokyo, and it only takes about an hour by train. Kawagoe Old Street, Hikawa Shrine to pray for marriage, Confectionery Yokocho selling many traditional Japanese snacks, etc... If you have a longing for love, you must visit Unhikawa Shrine. This is a shrine famous for praying for marriage. In addition, there is a lucky charm in the shape of a sea bream (carp is the same as love in Japanese), which is interesting and interesting! This quaint little Edo is a bit like Kyoto and is a good place for a day trip from Tokyo. .

Kawagoe is a famous tourist spot in the Kanto region, but there's more to it than just the bell tower and the main street of Hikawa Shrine! A 10-minute walk from Nishikawagoe Station, we'd like to introduce you to "Spaintei," an overseas-style restaurant. Once you step inside the restaurant, you'll be drawn into a world that makes you feel like you're not in Japan! The interior is carefully selected by the owner. The stained glass that evokes Gaudi's architecture, the Sagrada Familia objects, and the tableware made from handicrafts are impressive. Each seat is carefully designed and yet maintains a comfortable distance. The dish you definitely want to try is the paella! The seafood broth is well-balanced and the fresh taste spreads in your mouth. Established in 1983. The chef was the first Asian to compete in the authentic paella competition in Sueca, Valencia, and won first place in the international category six times, and second place overall, the highest ranking ever for an Asian. You can also enjoy authentic Spanish dishes such as gazpacho and stewed mussels 🤤 Just being in the restaurant makes you feel like a tourist ♪ If you go up the stairs in the dining area, you can enjoy the interior from above from the second floor, so be sure to climb up as a post-meal exercise ☺️ 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-16:00, 17:00-22:00 📍Location: 4-11-4 Imanari, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture

Have you ever heard of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine? If you are in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, this is a place not to be missed! The shrines here are not just about gods and incense, there are also some super beautiful scenery and interesting activities waiting for you to explore! - Recently, the most important thing everyone must do when going to Hikawa Shrine is fishing. There is nothing wrong with it! Don’t doubt it’s really fishing~ Hikawa Shrine is very famous for praying for love and good luck. Inside the belly of the wooden fish is a poem signed. Remember to open it to see your luck. If the sign is not good, remember to tie it in the shrine! - 🌟Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 🕰️Business hours: 9:00～17:00 (However, fishing, painting, etc. will be moved back around 16:30, so you still have to remember to come early, I almost missed it this time🤣) 📍Address: 2-11-3 Miyashita-cho, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture #100 Ways to Travel #Japanese Attractions #Tokyo #Saitama #Kawagoe #Kawagoe Glacier Shrine #Shrine Tour #Seeking Marriage #japan #Tokyo Travel

Many people go to Kawagoe to see wind chimes in summer! As for me, I just went for the eel rice—eel rice is what you should eat in summer! This time we went to "Denmi" on the main street, which is also a long-established eel rice restaurant in Kawagoe. It is also a renovation of a building with very high beams, and the interior is very simple and beautiful. The eel rice not only has eel as the main dish, but also has three kinds of eel and a combination of eel and beef. If there is a limited edition high-quality eel on that day, you can also try it, but the price is twice the normal one. I ordered three ways to eat eel. Unlike other restaurants, the third way to eat eel here is served with mashed yam. I ate very full and satisfied. There are also some other recommendations and tips for Kawagoe this season: 1. The amulet ticket of Seibu Railway is very cost-effective 2. Hikawa Shrine not only has wind chimes, but also seasonal amulets and carbonated water with beautiful packaging 3. The goldfish pavilion where many people check in is beautiful for taking photos but the taste is average, but there is no queue if you go there at 3 or 4 pm on weekdays 4. There seem to be a lot of rickshaws in Kawagoe recently! 5. There are so many nice looking ice cream shops, but when it’s hot the ice cream starts to melt as soon as you get it in your hands, so eat it quickly! #TokyoItinerary #Tokyo #JapanTravel #JapaneseFood #TokyoFreeTravel

A cat cafe run by a cat protection group🐈 What makes it different from other places is that it protects and cares for cats that have nowhere to go, and also holds adoption events to recruit new owners. Of course, you can also go just to interact with the cats🐈⬛! What I thought when I actually went there. Some cats have one eye crushed or are disabled. But when you see how the cats live their lives so vigorously and freely, you can see the dedication of the people who take care of them✨ There are also toys🪀🧸, so it's perfect for interacting with them! Some cats are a bit scared, but some will let you touch them, so it's heartwarming. There are more cats than I expected. Another important point is that the profits are used for cat protection activities. This is a wonderful facility where you can contribute to society while playing with cats🐈🐈⬛! ⚜️Price (includes one drink) 30 minutes 600 yen 1 hour 1,200 yen 500 yen for every 30 minutes thereafter ⚜️Closed on Mondays ⚜️Notes ・No fur wear allowed ・Socks must be worn ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥLocation: Nekokatsu Kawagoe Shelter Cat Cafe ꕥAddress: 8-3 MTF Building, Wakita-cho, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture 3F ꕥAccess: 🚉 Kawagoe Station → 7 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Interacting with animals/Zoo #Cats #Cat cafe #Animals #Relaxation #Relaxation spot #100 travel styles

I went to cheese gourmet iL-MERCATO in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture. 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 I went to an Italian restaurant🇮🇹 for lunch! The restaurant has a rating of 4.4, so I was excited because it has a good impression✨ The lunch menu includes pasta, risotto, meat dishes, and tortilla salad. The slogan seems to be that you can enjoy freshly grated cheese🧀 in front of you, but I gave in to the temptation of meat and ordered the "Plenty of vegetables and aged beef lunch." The meat is 120g, but there is a whopping 350g of vegetables, which was more than enough. It comes with a light layer of focaccia. There is no rice, so men may not be satisfied. You can add extra meat🥩🙌 You can also add raclette❣️ I was expecting the quality of the meat to be high considering the price, but I was surprised at how much softer it was😳 And with a drink🥤, 1320 yen is a bargain. It's nice that you can customize it in various ways 🎶 [Lunch menu] - Homemade fresh pasta lunch 1,100 yen ~ - Plenty of vegetables and aged beef lunch 1,320 yen ~ - Luxurious double cheese risotto lunch 1,200 yen ~ - Nutritious on cheese power salad 1,100 yen ~ (Drink included) *~ = Price +α for adding cheese🧀 ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥLocation: cheese gourmet iL-MERCATO ꕥAddress: Urban M 14-1 Wakita-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama 1st floor ꕥAccess: 🚉 Kawagoe Station → 5 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #100 Travel Styles #Western Food 2024 #Italian #Italian Lunch #Lunch #Meat #Beef #Kawagoe

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈ Saitama 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Kawagoe PiENi KöTA I had always been curious about PiENi KöTA, an antique and vegan shop. The entrance is very cute, but once you go inside, it's a different world that doesn't feel like Kawagoe....🫧 It feels like you've traveled back in time. The store is mainly antiques, and there are a variety of items, from interior decorations and miscellaneous goods to things you don't know what they're used for. LOL There were all kinds of things like old Western books, antique spoons, cute vases, etc. There are antiques on the second floor too, and the sunlight shining in was really pleasant....

📍Kawagoe City 川越市 🚃How to get there 1. Seibu Shinjuku Station -> Hon-Kawagoe Station 2. Ikebukuro Station -> Kawagoe Station ✔️ (I started from Ikebukuro) If you go to the Tobu Information Center at Ikebukuro Station and say that you are going to Kawagoe Station you can get a Kawagoe guidebook in Korean and a Kawagoe round-trip pass. (There was someone who could speak Korean on a weekday in July) ⭐️Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine⭐️ If you go to Kawagoe in the summer I highly recommend Hikawa Shrine!! In the summer, they hold a Fuurin Matsuri (window festival) (The festival period changes slightly every year, so please refer to the shrine website) I went to see it in person and it was so pretty and healing❤️ There is also an Ema Tunnel and goldfish fortune-telling fishing, so take your time looking around! This was the best place I visited in Tokyo in July☺️

There are many Starbucks with unique decorations in Japan. When you come to Kawagoe, this Starbucks near the Bell of Toki is also not to be missed. It attracts a large number of tourists to check in every day! The most distinctive feature of Kawagoe is the "Kura-zukuri" building. Starbucks renovated the Kura-zukuri building and reused it. The entrance still retains the Kura-zukuri architectural style, full of Edo style. The interior of Starbucks has a high ceiling and plenty of light. The most special thing is that there are a lot of outdoor seats, with a modern gray and white style that blends in with green plants. The entire architectural style combines modern and Japanese traditions, reflecting the harmonious coexistence of modern and traditional. Therefore, when this Starbucks opened, it caused a lot of discussion in Japan! If you come here, besides checking in, you might as well appreciate the architectural style here 😎 #Japan must-visit check-in spots

Kawagoe City is very close to the city of Tokyo, about 1 hour drive away, convenient transportation, so it has been a popular tourist attraction in recent years! ☀️☀️☀️ Kawagoe is known as Little Edo, as soon as you get out of the station you have felt the antique atmosphere 😀 The street exudes the nostalgic atmosphere of the Edo period, the shops on both sides sell various souvenirs and handicrafts, walking on the street slowly strolling, time immediately slowed down 👍🏻 makes people unexpectedly slow down, enjoy the leisure time. Around 5pm, the power supply will gradually close. If you want to be quieter, you can arrive in the afternoon! #Japan must-see photo spots #weekend travel #overseas travel

Hello, today we are in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture. We would like to introduce you to the city's famous temple, Kita-in Temple. This temple is also known as Seyasan Muryoshuji Kita-in Temple. It is a temple with many cultural and historical heritages. In addition, there are properties that were moved from Edo City.

Izashiya とりせい is Kawagoe has a history of over 100 🤔 is a well-known local restaurant 🍴 The restaurant is diagonally across from the landmark of Kawagoe Hour Clock 🤣 so it is very easy to find Izashiya Toshiya was founded in 1898 ❤️ has been around for a hundred years!! ️ The restaurant atmosphere is very good 😋 If it is the peak tourist season sometimes you need to queue for more than 1 hour😳 However, fortunately we went the day to open the door 🙈 Staff 👩 💼 about asked me in the entrance to wait about 5 minutes to give me a place 😳 Four people's large table space is very enough 🤪 After seating, the staff will introduce the menu 🫡 All meals are reasonably priced and want to try their mainstay so we quickly decided what to eat However, the English menu only has the restaurant🍴Signature Kabuto Rice Set😗 But the Japanese menu will have more options such as drinks other set meals set Teppanyaki etc. so check it out if you are interested His signature dishes are bird skin no charcoal grilled rice set meal and Kawagoe kawa rice set meal🤩 The former is actually charcoal grilled chicken skin while the latter is eel plus sweet potato🍠 Kabuto rice is the ingredients and raw rice is cooked directly in the restaurant's bowl 😋 Serve directly So the cooking time is relatively long takes 25 minutes 🙈🙈 so it is best to eat before very hungry In about 25 minutes, the waiter served our kama rice set meal 😍 Each kam rice set meal includes sauce appetizers and miso soup 🤪 The portion is really not less 🤣 I'm happy to see it 🥳 We have ordered eel kudzu rice set meal ❤️ because we only want to eat eel and not want to eat buckwheat 🍠 Their eel is quite hearty😳 And the eel sauce on the eel can enhance the freshness😗 And because it is cooked with rice so it will not burn!! ️ However, its fish oil and fish flavor can penetrate into the rice 😋 very tasty 😋 Another recommendation is the bird kabu rice set meal 😍 There are some mushroom slices under the chicken but the chicken portion is relatively small 😳 The taste is relatively light 🤫 However, its rice absorbs the fragrance of chicken and mushrooms 🤩 The taste is light and it is worth eating this However, please note 👀 the restaurant Last Order is 2pm and the drop-off time is 3pm!! ️ Arrange your time if you want to eat #JapanKoreaCityAttractions #IMiss #ResidentWriter #WeekendTravel #OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #JapanAttractions #JapaneseFood #JapanTravelStrategy #JapanFamilyTravel #JapanDrivingTour #JapanKorea City Attractions
