2. Kawagoe Kumano Shrine
On the side of the cobblestone street, one can see a mysterious approach with pebbles paved at both ends. It is the “Footstep Health Road” of Kawagoe Kumano Shrine. It is an interesting place of interest where visitors can walk barefoot to stimulate pressure points on the soles of their feet and pray for good health.
It is said that the shrine was originally invoked from Kumano in Kishu by Zen'ei Bun'o, the second generation priest of Renkakuji Temple, in 1590, and is well known as a god of good luck, matchmaking, and protection from bad luck.
Since it is a matchmaker, it is a particularly good spot for those seeking new and wonderful encounters.

6. Kawagoejyo Honmaru Palace
Kawagoe is a “Little Edo” where old streets still remain. The streets are lined with storehouses and merchant houses, delighting visitors. Kawagoe Castle is indispensable to the history of Kawagoe, and was selected as one of the 100 best castles in Japan in 2006.
The oldest record of the “Honmaru Goten” of Kawagoe Castle is the depiction in the “Edo Zu Byobu” in the collection of the National Museum of Japanese History.
Kawagoe Castle was built by Ota Dokan, a master castle builder. The remains of the castle, such as Mihono Shrine, which was worshipped by the lord of the castle and its residents, the wells of the Seven Wonders of Kawagoe Castle, and the Nakanomon moat, are all still visible today as reminders of a bygone era.
The Honmaru Palace is the only one of its kind remaining in eastern Japan, and the only one of its kind in Japan. The presence of the Honmaru Goten cannot be overlooked, not only in the history of Kawagoe, but also in the history of castles in Japan.
