🎐 Tokyo Day Trip | Saitama Kawagoe 🎐
Retaining the characteristics of the Edo period and a strong Taisho romantic atmosphere! A perfect place for sisters to avoid the crowds at Senso-ji Temple! A private treasure trove for painless kimono and yukata photo shoots! Those with time can spend a whole day here for a city walk—eating and strolling around. 🚌 Transportation Starting from Ikebukuro: Exit from the West Exit of Ikebukuro Station and spend 700 yen at the station's manual counter to buy a one-day round-trip ticket to Kawagoe. It takes about 1 hour to get off at Hon-Kawagoe Station. It's even better to buy a one-stop upgrade ticket for 1300 yen (you can also show this ticket on the bus! No need to use a transport card for the rest of the day). 🚏 Kawagoe One-Day City Walk Hon-Kawagoe Station → Kita-in → Noguma Shrine → Taisho Roman Road → Little Edo Kawagoe Ichiban Street → Hikawa Shrine ⛩️ About the Attractions ① Kita-in It has many beautiful Japanese gardens and a very famous stone carving of Arhat.
