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.
At your hotel
I will meet st your hotel.
It's about 30 minutes train ride from Ikebukuro, one of the terminal stations in central Tokyo.
We can walk through a typical suburban street of modern Tokyo.
It's a kind of nostalgic street 60 or 70
years ago.
It's an old and tasteful shrine. You can see a unique hebigami sama ,or a snake deity statue that might your dreams come true.
The street comes even older. You can see a street a hundred years ago. There are many classical but a
little bit modern houses and buildings.
It's really like a time slip. There lines up traditional structures in a flawless condition. Here, you can enjoy strolling , dinning, or shopping.
Leaving Kawagoe for central Tokyo.

As this place is popular, if possible, I recommend to visit on weekdays so that we can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
“Tokyo tour-Day 1 and 2”
Kahoko was an excellent guide. We only had a few days in Tokyo and she was able to fit all that we wanted to do and see. She was friendly, knew the city very well and spoke good English. She even brought water for us and made sure we were well hydrated. She went above and beyond. We were very happy with our experience.

“Fully loaded but informal tour”
We spent 4 hours with Kahoko, visiting a number of areas in Tokyo. Kahoko was great from start to finish, pointing out many cultural insights we would not have picked up on had we been on our own. Definitely worth it and would highly recommend.
