Kawagoe is 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo, making it an ideal day trip. Its main street, lined with Kurazukuri buildings, captures the Edo Period ambiance, earning it the nickname "Little Edo."
During the Edo Period, Kawagoe thrived as a supplier to Tokyo, and the shogun appointed loyal men as lords of Kawagoe Castle, fostering close ties. Over time, Kawagoe inherited Edo culture and architecture.
Visit Kitain Temple, a key attraction in the Greater Tokyo area, which houses the only remaining structures from the former Edo Castle.
This tour is led by a National Licensed Guide.
