Itinerary

  • Kitain

    Your first destination will be one of Kawagoeā€™s most famous Buddhist temples. This temple is famous for its Pagoda, part of its main hall being constructed from buildings from the original Edo Castle in Tokyo, as well as its 540 Rakan statues. It is steeped in history and is a must when visiting Kawagoe! Enjoy a guided tour with your guide and some time to take photos and enjoy the grounds at your leisure.

    1 hour

  • Kurazukuri no Machinami / Warehouse District

    Walk for 15 minutes to your next destination, Kawagoeā€™s ā€˜Old Townā€™. This is the centre and hub of Kawagoe. You will have a guided tour of the ā€˜Old Townā€™ and its landmarks. You will then have your lunch break here to enjoy the many drinks and foods on offer!

    2 hours

  • Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine

    Your next destination will be one of Kawagoeā€™s most famous and beautiful shrines! Famous for its match making power, many people come here to pray for good fortune in love and their relationships. Your guide will give you a tour of the Shrine complex and tell you about its unique features and history! You will have the opportunity to fish for your fortune, walk through a beautiful ā€™Emaā€™ tunnel (wooden fortune plaques), and walk around 600 year old sacred trees that are said to bring you spiritual enlightenment! The tranquil Shingashi river is just behind the shrine where Koi Carp swim, and in Spring it is filled with Cherry Blossom!

    45 minutes

  • Kawagoe Castle Naka no Mon Remain

    Our final stop will be the remains of Kawagoeā€™s flatland castle. The structure and its rooms are beautifully preserved. You can walk the halls, step back in time and imagine what it was once like in the Edo period when the Shogun (Samurai) were in power. You can also collect a castle stamp as a free souvenir of your visit!

    45 minutes

  • Kurazukuri no Machinami / Warehouse District

    Finally, before leaving Kawagoe, enjoy some free time to visit any remaining attractions, shop, take photos and pick up any final souvenirs before we meet back up to walk to Kawagoeshi train station. There is Kawagoe City Museum and Kawagoe Matsuri Museum which are great attractions to visit in addition to what is covered on the tour.
