Sightseeing

Empty Japan

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

Quick summary of the day:

  • Walk through Kawagoe’s historic warehouse district

  • Visit beautiful temples and shrines

  • Explore the iconic bell tower and traditional shops

  • Stop at a tea shop to buy some high-quality tea

  • Visit a local brewery

  • Try local delicacies
