Short trip to Ko-edo

I visited Kawagoe City which is located about 30 minutes by train from Tokyo.

Kawagoe is so called 'Ko-edo (little edo)'.

This town retains an ambience reminiscent of an old town from the Edo era  (1603-1867).

We can imagine the streets from past centuries. 

The main street is lined with clay-walled warehouse-styled buildings.

This street consists of a lot kind of stores:)

Baumkuchen shop

Chopsticks shop

These tiny potteries are called 'Hashi-oki'. We use them with chopsticks, like the following photo.

Umbrella shop

Knife shop

This street, ' Kashiya-yokocho', is filled with sweets shops.

We took a retro-looking bus and headed to a shrine.

This Kawagoe area will take you back in time:)

Thank you for stopping by!
