Kawagoe · Kashiyayokocho Candy Craft Experience

Kashiyayokocho in Kawagoe has been a thriving area for traditional penny candy manufacturing since the early Meiji period. The candy craft you can experience here is a traditional Japanese technique where heated candy is shaped into animals and flowers using scissors and hands. After watching a craftsperson's demonstration, you can try it yourself in a workshop. The thrill of shaping the candy before it hardens, and the sense of accomplishment when it's complete, is extraordinary. Enjoy it combined with a stroll through Little Edo's traditional storehouse-style architecture streets.
