The Little Edo - Kawagoe Walking Tour
E009
Kawagoe, known as little Edo, is a town that still retains the look and feel of Tokyo in the Edo period. The city still retains things that Tokyo lost with modernization, such as the large floats.
The streets lined with warehouses are the result of the citizens' constant efforts to preserve them. Today, Kawagoe is loved by people as the city that best conveys the atmosphere of Edo.
