Tokyo Day Trip | Kawagoe One-day City Walk Route(1)

Who says that in Tokyo's summer, you can only go to the beach to join the crowds like dumplings in a pot? 🍃🌸 The hidden Kawagoe, also known as Little Edo, is truly the ultimate summer destination! 🌇🌿Just a 1-hour drive can help you escape the urban heat and immerse yourself in the cool world of ancient temples with green moss and thousands of wind chimes～​ 🌸One-day Tour Route 🏯Kita-in Temple As soon as you enter the temple gate, you'll be stunned by the blue and purple flower waterfall! 🍃🌸 In July, the hydrangeas cover the stone steps, and under the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree covered with moss, it's cooler than an air-conditioned room. Take off your shoes and step on the cool wooden floor, and the scent of the ancient temple's incense will instantly cool you down～ 📸Chūin & Tōshō-gū 🌇🌿These two shrines, just a 3-minute walk away, are especially beautiful in spring when the cherry blossom trees are scattered in height. The vermilion torii gate of Tōshō-gū paired with pink cherry blossoms is absolutely stunning! 🍃🌸 Kumano Shrine A must-try experience is walking barefoot on the pebble road (don't forget to bring socks!). 🌇🌿The washbasin is adorned with cherry blossom branches, creating a dreamy scene. Washing coins with running water and then putting them in your wallet is said to bring fortune～ 🌇🌿 There's also a limited cherry blossom ring toss game. 🌈Taishō Roman-dori From April, the whole street is filled with carp streamers. When the wind blows, they make a rustling sound. 🌇🌿 #Kawagoe 🌊
