Discover the charm of Kawagoe, a town rich in Edo-period history, just outside Tokyo. Wander through its beautiful streets lined with traditional warehouses, experience the nostalgic atmosphere, and taste the local specialties.

IMPORTANT: Since this location is very close to Tokyo and is especially popular with Japanese tourists, I DO NOT recommend visiting on weekends and public holidays as it will definitely be crowded. For this spot, please plan your visit only on a weekday.

Recommended arrival time at the first location: 9:30 AM
