This is the ideal tour for travelers wanting to discover Kawagoe's highlights efficiently in a private vehicle accompanied by a government-licensed and experienced multilingual guide! Step back in time in Kawagoe, the castle town fondly known as "Little Edo" for its beautifully preserved old-town streets just a short drive from Tokyo. Stroll the Kurazukuri Warehouse District, where clay-walled merchant houses recall the Edo period, and see the Toki no Kane bell tower that has marked the hours for four centuries. Wander Kashiya Yokocho, the nostalgic Penny Candy Alley, and visit Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, famous for matchmaking and its summer wind-chimes. At Kitain Temple you will meet 540 carved Rakan statues and the only surviving structures of Edo Castle, while Honmaru Goten preserves the rare main palace of Kawagoe Castle. With a private vehicle and your own knowledgeable guide, you can tailor the day to your interests and travel comfortably between every sight at your own pace.
