A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
川越市
Kawagoe offers traditional shop streets, a bell tower and a candy lane. Begin around the warehouse-style streets; one shop and a small snack can make a pleasant first outing.
This guide covers places within Kawagoe, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
蔵造りの町並み
Traditional thick-walled shop buildings preserve the look of an old trading town. Some still house shops. Stay within pedestrian space on streets used by traffic.
Getting there
Check the approach to Kawagoe’s warehouse-style district
02A first-visit stop
時の鐘
A landmark bell tower rising above the old streets. View it from the street and browse nearby shops. The present tower was rebuilt after fire rather than surviving unchanged from its first construction.
Getting there
Approach from the warehouse-style streets
A first-visit stop
菓子屋横丁
A lane of shops selling traditional candies and sweets. Browse or choose a small snack, checking each shop’s opening days and ingredients and keeping the passage clear.
Getting there
Approach the Motomachi 2-chome area
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Sweet potatoes grown in the area and sweet-potato treats are associated with Kawagoe. Look for a snack and check ingredients, allergens and prices; not every product necessarily uses Kawagoe-grown potatoes.
