Money to play in the arcade

Overview

Go to a place where you can buy figures and anime goods cheaper than in Tokyo and buy many of your favorite things. We will ask you what you want in advance so that we can change the stores according to what you want. Also, the arcade is very huge and overwhelming. Many of the items are easy to acquire, so let's take many of them together. Wear a kimono, take pictures, and leave your memories behind. Stroll the streets while buying delicious food and souvenirs. Kawagoe is about an hour away from Tokyo. It developed as an important place during the Edo period (1603-1867) and is still a tourist destination with its townscape. We will pick you up at your hotel for a comfortable day trip. (If you are out of range, please consult us. We will discuss times, etc. and pick you up.) The guide will also serve as photographer and driver. So there is no additional cost. Since this is a private tour, we are flexible. Please come and enjoy Kawagoe with us.

30 minutes
Kawagoe Kumano Shrine

On the side of the cobblestone street, one can see a mysterious approach with pebbles paved at both ends. It is the “Footstep Health Road” of Kawagoe Kumano Shrine. It is an interesting place of interest where visitors can walk barefoot to stimulate pressure points on the soles of their feet and pray for good health. It is said that the shrine was originally invoked from Kumano in Kishu by Zen'ei Bun'o, the second generation priest of Renkakuji Temple, in 1590, and is well known as a god of good luck, matchmaking, and protection from bad luck. Since it is a matchmaker, it is a particularly good spot for those seeking new and wonderful encounters.

30 minutes
Kawagoe Ichibangai Shopping Street

As you exit the east exit of Kawagoe, you can still see the streets of the Edo period. Here, you can first get a taste of Japanese culture.

30 minutes
Toki no Kane

It has been a symbol of Koedo Kawagoe since the early Edo period when it was built, and has been telling the “time” that is indispensable for daily life. The current bell tower was rebuilt the year after the Great Kawagoe Fire of 1893. It is a three-story structure, approximately 16 meters high. In 1996, the bell was selected as one of the “100 Soundscapes of Japan to Preserve” by the Environment Agency. Let's take a commemorative photo here!

20 minutes
Kawagoejyo Honmaru Palace

Kawagoe is a “Little Edo” where old streets still remain. The streets are lined with storehouses and merchant houses, delighting visitors. Kawagoe Castle is indispensable to the history of Kawagoe, and was selected as one of the 100 best castles in Japan in 2006. The oldest record of the “Honmaru Goten” of Kawagoe Castle is the depiction in the “Edo Zu Byobu” in the collection of the National Museum of Japanese History. Kawagoe Castle was built by Ota Dokan, a master castle builder. The remains of the castle, such as Mihono Shrine, which was worshipped by the lord of the castle and its residents, the wells of the Seven Wonders of Kawagoe Castle, and the Nakanomon moat, are all still visible today as reminders of a bygone era. The Honmaru Palace is the only one of its kind remaining in eastern Japan, and the only one of its kind in Japan. The presence of the Honmaru Goten cannot be overlooked, not only in the history of Kawagoe, but also in the history of castles in Japan.
