Even today, you can hear the bell at 6 am, 12pm, 3 pm and 6 pm. Toki no Kane, along with the surrounding environment retains the vestiges of the Edo period.

Clear filterWonderful visit to Kawagoe
Published on Aug, 2024
During our stay in Tokyo, I booked this tour to get us out of the busy city, and to have a more relaxed tour. One of the best benefits of this tour was that our guide (Taka) met us at our hotel and got us to Kawagoe by train. Being new to Japan's metro and train system, this was a life saver. Looking back on the day, I think getting out to Kawagoe and back to Tokyo would have been a little challenging without Taka's guidance. Taka was very attentive and provided an excellent tour. Throughout the day, he ensured it was a memorable experience from seeing the sites of interest, giving us time to do a little shopping, and taking us to a wonderful place for lunch. Taka was an exceptionally knowledgeable and informative guide who paid close attention to our needs. With another trip to Tokyo planned for next April, I would eagerly book another tour with this company, and I hope to have Taka as our guide once more.

Excellent Tour from the hotel pickup through Kawagoe & return to the hotel. Our guide Mr. Isao took our mobility limitations into consideration, walking slowly & helped us avoid up - down stairs, using only elevators & escalators. We experienced the old buildings, a shrine, tasted local candies & had an excellent lunch! I highly recommend Mr. Isao Kito as a tour guide to his home town Kawagoe.
