My Trip

The closest old-town day trip from Tokyo. Walk the clay-walled warehouse street, bell tower, and candy alley of 'Little Edo,' a half-day-to-full-day route strong on kimono rentals and street food.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Kurazukuri Warehouse Street蔵造りの町並み

    Street · 90 min stay

    The main street lined with black clay-walled Edo merchant houses. Great for walking in kimono and picture-perfect. Just 30-50 minutes by train from Tokyo, so access is excellent.

    Toki-no-Kane Bell Tower時の鐘

    Landmark · 30 min stay

    A wooden bell tower that has told the time for nearly 400 years. A photo spot symbolizing Kawagoe, with the bell ringing four times a day.

  3. Walk 5 min

    Candy Alley (Kashiya Yokocho)菓子屋横丁

    Street food · 60 min stay

    A narrow alley of old-style candy and dagashi shops. Enjoy Kawagoe specialties like sweet-potato soft serve cheaply.

    Kitain Temple喜多院

    Temple · 60 min stay

    Famed for buildings relocated from Edo Castle and 500 rakan statues, each with a different expression. Quiet, so good for a final rest.
