The best tour for the people who cannot be satisfied with only Tokyo! Kawagoe is an old town which flourished as a castle town in the Edo Still to this day you can see elaborately designed buildings, ringing bells, elegant side streets and back streets and rickshaws passing. The design of the stores and houses on the street mix the features of three different eras - Edo, Meiji, and Taisho. Kawagoe has a Japanese culture and history which we cannot see in the other cities. In addition, the access from the center of Tokyo is good (30 minutes). It was selected to host the golf competitions in the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020.

I spent a wonderful afternoon in Kawagoe learning about the Edo period in Tokyo with my most gracious and generous guides Manami and Takeshi! They made sure I enjoyed all the specialties of the area from the shrines and temples to sweet potato-bean paste dumplings, local candies, craft beer and sake-tasting. the Tour is at a relaxed pace and is customized to suit your preferences.
