Kawagoe is in the western part of Saitama prefecture next to Tokyo. It is a long-established commercial town from Edo Era. Unlike Tokyo, it survived air-raids of World War Two because it was in the suburbs of Metropolitan. Thanks for that, there are lots of traditional buildings and houses of different ages in a good condition. Now then, this place is getting more and more popular not only among foreigh tourist but also Japanese tourists.

Reviews

“A walk in the rain”

This was our second half-day tour with Kahoko. It was pouring rain. Kahoko met us at our hotel's lobby in great spirits as if the sun were shining. That feeling became addictive as if the rain couldn't and wouldn't stop us. We explored Kappabashi for a knife purchase and we visited Yanaka which is a mellower section of the city. Kahoko navigated the way and provided a narrative that helped us better understand Japan and its culture. Through the rain, we walked 14,000 steps as if it was a sunny day thanks in large part to Kahoko's positive vibes. We highly recommend working with Kahoko.

Thank you so much for another review! Your every word warmly encouraged me. That also gave me a great motivation to my job. With terrific New Yorkers, I just really enjoyed a pleasant time full of walking, talking, and laughing. Probably, your family were happy with your presents. I was wondering how many bags you had to bring back to your hotel. That's nothing but love to your family. I hope you will come back to Japan some day. There are so many to see. Thank you again and best wishes to you and your family . Take care !

“Night walking tour with dinner ”

Kahoko was an excellent guide who took us to all the interesting places in Tokyo for nighttime entertainment, from the very old and original to the modern plus an authentic dining experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo looking for interesting and varied experience.
