Kawagoe Kurazukuri Townscape
Kawagoe's kurazukuri townscape, known as 'Little Edo.' Stroll through streets overflowing with Edo charm alongside the resonant tones of the Bell of Time.
Ichiban-gai, lined with about 30 merchant houses featuring kurazukuri architecture from the Edo period, is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. The iconic Bell of Time, with nearly 400 years of history, still announces the time four times daily. Confectioner's Alley sells nostalgic traditional candies and homemade sweets. The specialty sweet potato treats come in abundant varieties, perfect for street snacking. There are many attractions to discover, including the Hikawa Shrine's romantic wind chimes and the Five Hundred Arhats at Kitain Temple. Located just about 30 minutes from the city center, you can easily enjoy a nostalgic journey back to the Edo period.
