[Saitama/Kawagoe] First trip to Koedo Kawagoe⭐︎Enjoyment course♪
We went on a trip to Kawagoe, Saitama, a popular tourist destination!
There are many things to see in Kawagoe!!
Here are the routes and spots that we thoroughly enjoyed on the first day of our trip!
There are buses that go there, but we walked around🚶
◆Taisho Romantic Dream Street
It was a shopping street with a retro atmosphere and overflowing with cuteness⭐︎
The whole street seems to be a photo spot, and it's an irresistible area for girls♡
You can experience warping to the good old Taisho era!
The melon soda at the long-established cafe was also very cute✨
The carp streamer event held from the end of March to May is spectacular!
📍Around Nakamachi 1, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture
As soon as you pass through Taisho Romantic Dream Street, you will see...

◆Kura-zukuri Townscape
This area can be said to be the main tourist area in Kawagoe, and is also known as "Kawagoe Ichibangai".
Here, there are delicious looking gourmet foods and sweets lined up, so you might want to eat everything...! You can sightsee while eating your way around✨
There are many shops lined up, so there is plenty to see!
📍Sachimachi 2, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture
When you turn into a side street from the warehouse-style townscape...

◆Toki no Kane
The symbol of Kawagoe, "Toki no Kane".
This is a historic bell that has been telling the time in the city of Kawagoe for a long time!
It still rings four times a day at 6:00, 12:00, 15:00, and 18:00♪
If you come to Kawagoe, this is a photo spot you'll want to stop by✨
There are also many gourmet places to eat around here!
📍15-7 Saiwai-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama
Go back to the warehouse-style streetscape and go straight ahead...

◆Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
This historic shrine is crowded with many people as it is the god of family harmony, marital harmony, and matchmaking⛩️
The "Ichinen An Tai Mikuji" where you use a fishing rod to catch a fortune slip in the shape of a red sea bream is very popular!
Other than that, the votive plaques and the wind chimes that are tied together like a tunnel depending on the season are beautiful, and that is a very popular spot✳︎
There is a large sacred tree behind it, so please go and check it out!
You can get some power from it♪
📍2-11-3 Miyashita-cho, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama
Open to worship (Shrine office 8:00-18:00)

◆Kashiya Yokocho
It was a very cute area with Japanese-style sweet shops lined up on the cobblestone streets!
Just looking at the nostalgic snacks and long glutinous rice cakes makes my heart leap with excitement✨
📍Motomachi 2-chome, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture
If you take a break or have lunch along the way, you'll probably spend a lot of time just getting here, but if you have the time and energy to spare, you can stretch your legs and go sake tasting or look for souvenirs at Koedo Kurari!
Koedo Kawagoe is surprisingly close, just under 30 minutes from Ikebukuro.
Please be sure to go!
