Tour description

Experience the magic of Kawagoe on a 2-hour express tour that will take you through the most emblematic corners of this charming town known as "Little Edo." We'll stroll along its traditional Japanese-style streets, where the atmosphere of the Edo period still lingers thanks to its historic Kurazukuri buildings. During the tour, we'll visit the iconic Toki no Kane bell tower, a symbol of the town, and explore the local shops and cafes that make Kawagoe a unique destination for lovers of Japanese culture. You'll also discover the famous Candy Alley, an alleyway filled with handcrafted sweets made using recipes passed down through generations. It's the perfect tour for taking incredible photos, learning about history, and discovering fascinating details of everyday Japanese life. Ideal for those seeking an authentic yet brief cultural experience, full of charm, tradition, and little moments you'll cherish.

Please remember to book in advance and confirm your attendance two days prior, as this is a rare tour located outside of Tokyo. Language availability will depend on the guide or assistant on the day. Thank you very much, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
