If you are planning a day trip to Kawagoe about an hour from Tokyo, make sure to visit Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine 🎏 This is such a photogenic shrine with a serene atmosphere.

Don't miss the Ema Tunnel, which is a wooden, open-air tunnel decorated with approximately 30,000 wooden prayer plates called ema. The collection of words and the gentle melody of the ema in the breeze make for a truly unique stroll. Write your own ema and add it to the thousands of wishes! 🥹

They also have a special omikuji (fortune slip) in the form of a red snapper fish that you can literally "fish" for! 🐠 It's super fun and unique and a great souvenir to take home 🩷
