A fantastic voyage aboard a wooden float escorted by a crew of nearly 200 people awaits you (to view, not to actually ride, sadly) in Kawagoe City in Saitama prefecture, a short train ride just outside of Tokyo. Watch a beautiful traditional cultural experience every Fall and this time on NEXT STOP!
