Highlights
Step back into the Edo period on a locally guided walk through Kawagoe, known as 'Little Edo.' Explore Ichibangai, a preserved street lined with traditional merchant buildings, and see the iconic Bell Tower (Toki no Kane), which has chimed for over 400 years. Continue to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, known for matchmaking blessings, featuring wooden ema plaques and summer wind chimes. Continue to Kawagoejyo Honmaru Palace, the restored residence of feudal lords, offering tatami rooms and insight into samurai governance. The public-transport version stays within this compact historic core, where all three sights sit within 1.2km of each other. The private-vehicle version adds a fourth stop, Kitain Temple, a 9th-century temple about 1.5km south home to original Edo Castle palace buildings and carved stone Rakan statues—a detour made easy by a short drive that the walking itinerary cannot comfortably absorb in the same time.

About Kawagoe
Kawagoe is a castle town north-west of Tokyo, nicknamed Little Edo for its dark clay-walled warehouses, a bell tower and sweet-potato treats.
Kawagoe, in Saitama Prefecture about thirty kilometres north-west of central Tokyo, was a castle town and trading centre in the Edo period. Its main street, Ichibangai, is lined with kurazukuri, merchants' warehouses with thick black clay walls and tiled roofs, which survived fires and give the town its nickname of Little Edo. The Toki no Kane, a wooden bell tower rebuilt in 1894, rings out four times a day and is the town's emblem.
