KAWAGOE SAITAMA / WAREHOUSE DISTRICT / CANDY ALLEY / KAWAGOE HIKAWA SHRINE / PINOY ENGINEER IN JAPAN

Kawagoe (川越) is located about 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo and is suitable as a day trip destination. Its main street, lined with Kurazukuri (clay-walled warehouse-styled) buildings, retains an ambience reminiscent of an old town from the Edo Period (1603-1867) and allows us to imagine the streets from past centuries. Thereby, Kawagoe became known as "Little Edo".
HOW TO GET THERE:
Kawagoe Station and Shinjuku Station are also connected by frequent direct rapid trains via Omiya along the JR Saikyo/Kawagoe Line (55 minutes, 770 yen one way). This trip is fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass.
