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

Unforgettable experience

Kahoko was an excellent guide from the moment she arrived at our hotel. Meeting us there took a lot of the stress out of our first morning in Tokyo, and she immediately helped us feel comfortable. She showed us how to use the JR system in a way that actually made sense, and we felt confident navigating on our own afterward. She shared a lot of small cultural details and practical tips throughout the day, and those will genuinely be useful during the rest of our trip. At the shrine, she explained everything clearly and made the experience feel meaningful rather than rushed. She connected easily with our family, kept the pace relaxed, and always checked in to make sure we were good with the plan. Her English was clear and easy to follow, so communication was never an issue. Overall, the day went smoothly because of her. It was informative, comfortable, and a great introduction to Tokyo. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a guide!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! It is encouraging and gives me a great motivation to upcoming tours. I had such a lovely time with a terrific family even though our time together was limited. As you made a good research and preparation, I am sure that you will fully enjoy your stay in Japan. Also, I can tell you definitely have a good luck as you were able to book Pokémon café. With your kind words, I feel so happy to know I was able to do something for you even a little. I just hope your rest of the trip will be safe and lots of fun. It has just begun , please enjoy every moment ! Thank you again and take care!

Kahoko is a wonderful guide with exceptional kindess

I accidentally booked the wrong date for my parents’ Tokyo tour, but Kahoko went above and beyond — she kindly rearranged her schedule and came back the next day to give my parents the full experience. We were so grateful for her flexibility, patience, and professionalism. My parents said the tour was fantastic — Kahoko was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure they were comfortable the whole time. She helped them get their bearings on their first day in Tokyo and even helped them purchase online tickets that were only available for Japanese credit card holders. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding. Highly recommend Kahoko to anyone visiting Tokyo!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! I was wondering how your parents' trip was going. Probably they are enjoying along with your itinerary. I was so impressed with the thoughtful planning. They are lucky parents to have good children. I had such a lovely time with your parents even though the time with them was limited. I felt happy because I was able to help them even a little so that they can enjoy the rest of their journey. Thank you very much for choosing me. I hope you and your family's happiness. You must be busy every day, please take care of yourself. Good luck!
