Embark on a metaphorical journey into the past to the quaint castle town of Kawagoe, a microcosm of the Edo era in Japan. Enjoy a day in the company of our amiable hosts, exploring the 17th century wooden structures and coal-tiled residences of the historic kurazukuri (warehouse) district. Admire the grandeur of the Toki no Kane Tower or drop by the Festival Museum to see the three-tiered floats that grace the streets. From the Hattori Museum of Folklore and the Kawagoe Castle to soybean vendors and Penny Candy Lane – there’s a wealth of cultural insight to delve into.
Within a day of your booking, you’ll receive a brief questionnaire about your personal preferences and interests. We use this to match you with a host who shares your tastes. Your host will reach out to you to propose an itinerary that lets you uncover the city’s unique charm. You both will also settle on a convenient time and place to meet. The plan is adjustable, allowing you to revise what you want to do during your visit.
