Begin your journey at Kitain Temple, one of Kawagoe’s most revered Buddhist sites. Marvel at its striking pagoda and explore the main hall, partially constructed with materials from the original Edo Castle in Tokyo. The temple’s 540 Rakan statues, each with distinct expressions, are a highlight, offering a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship.

Your guide will share the temple’s rich history, followed by free time to wander the serene grounds, take photos, and soak in the spiritual atmosphere.

Next, dive into the heart of Kawagoe’s Old Town, a picturesque district that transports you back to the Edo period. Stroll past the iconic Kurazukuri clay warehouses, pause at the Toki no Kane Bell Tower, and enjoy the charm of “Little Edo.” Your guide will bring hidden gems to life, from sake breweries to quaint shops.

Savor Kawagoe’s famous sweet potato dishes—from ice cream to fries—before exploring the preserved Kawagoe Castle Honmaru Palace. Collect a unique castle stamp and reflect on Japan’s feudal past within its historic halls.

End the day with free time to browse museums, local shops, and festival culture before returning to Kawagoeshi Station.
