Kawagoe
Day trip from Tokyo
"Little Edo" — warehouse streets and sweet-potato snacks.
Home / Kawagoe
Kawagoe keeps a street of Edo-era clay warehouses, a bell tower and a candy alley about 30–45 minutes from central Tokyo. It's a compact, walkable taste of old Japan that works as a relaxed half-day.
