Ever wondered what it might feel like to live in Edo-Period Japan (1603-1867)? Well, wonder no more! Kawagoe, nicknamed ‘Koedo’ (or ‘Little Edo’), is home to Kurazukuri-style merchant storehouses, with many converted into quaint shops and restaurants serving traditional fare, and all helping to keep the historic ambience and culture alive.
📍 Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture is an easy day trip from Tokyo, less than one hour by train from Ikebukuro or Shinjuku stations.
