Citywalk around Tokyo | Kawagoe

✨ Kawagoe City is in the southern part of Kanto, Japan, in the southwestern part of Saitama Prefecture. In the Edo period, the city was a castle town of Kawagoe Clan, very prosperous, known as 'Little Edo'. Because it has never been ravaged by war, it has left a large number of temples and historical streets. ✨Kawagoe is very close to Tokyo, about 1 hour by train, and can be returned to Tokyo on the same day. 🚉🚇Transportation: ✅SUICA and PASMO cards are universally used for transportation, or you can start from Ikebukuro, with a 1050 round-trip ticket (including train and bus tickets from Ikebukuro to Kawagoe) 🚌City transportation: There is a special sightseeing bus, you can buy a one-day ticket at Kawagoe Station, 400 yen/person 🚏Tour route: Kumano Shrine-Kawagoe-Number Street-Honmaru Palace-Miyoshi Field Shrine-Hyakawa Shrine-Kita-in ⏰Time: Half a day ✨Recommended attractions: ✅Kumano Shrine: It is a shrine for fortune and connection. The Yatagarasu is the symbol of Kumano Shrine. The shrine can also wash money. After the visit, wash the coins carried in the spring water as a money mother to increase wealth. ✅Number Street: It preserves the culture and architecture of the Edo period. The wooden buildings on the street are very different from modern Japanese buildings. In the Edo period, the warehouse called 'Kura' in Japanese was built with wood and clay walls. There are many shops in the main street and alleys, like Ghibli Shop, Miffy Shop. ✅Hyakawa Shrine: It has a history of 1500 years. Because the Hyakawa Shrine enshrines two couples, it has been worshipped as the 'God of Marriage Harmony', 'God of Family Harmony' and 'God of Matchmaking' since ancient times. There is a Hyakawa Bridge behind the shrine, and the cherry trees on both sides of the river are pretty all year round. The sea bream guard is a feature of the Hyakawa Shrine. You can fish for a sea bream talisman for 300 yen, which contains a sign. If you draw a bad one, hang it on the railing to resolve it. There are also small shrines in the backyard of the shrine, enshrining various gods who are responsible for their duties. ✅Kita-in: A historic garden temple, there are many delicious foods on the street before arriving at the temple!!!
