► Kawagoe is also know as “Koedo” (“Little Edo”) as some of its streets – featured in the video – preserve the old castle town of the Edo period from the 16th. century.
It’s a great example of old meets new in Japan, with plenty of architecture from that time to be seen – almost like being on a movie set of some samurai-movie, if it wasnt for the cars passing by, breaking the illusion. The area also hosts a wide range of Sashimi, Unagi and Soba restaurants, along with plenty of souvenir shops, selling traditional goods, such as green tea, chopsticks, knifes and yukatas. It’s a brilliant place to take a walk – or by rickshaw (pulled taxi-cart) if you prefer. – Enjoy!

Great place to visit for sure! Thanks for sharing Thomas! 🙂 Great job! ^-^
Wonderful views, I hope it become world heritage.
Nice,Thomas. Love the old time architecture and the tile roofs. It does give you a sense of what Japan was like in that time period. So what is the usage of the tall bell tower, that you showed ? Loved the old time rickshaw, did you get a chance to ride in one ?? That was nice of the merchant to mist water from the overhang to cool off the passer-by. A nice place to spend an afternoon or weekend. So did you purchase anything while you were there ? Looking forward to seeing your next video.^_^
hee hee yey 😀
Well, if you were right about the temperature of 38 Celsius, it would have been a little over a 100 degrees that day !!! Add high humidity to that,"that is blooming hot,Mate" !!! As the Aussie's would say. LOL XD ^_^
Yea, if your not use to that kind of heat and humidity, it can sneak up on you before you know it. Biggest thing is to keep hydrated and cool off every so often. O.O
まさにこんな感じ大好きだあ。東京はゴミゴミしすぎてるからねえ。ミストがたまらん。
How fascinating this Edo-town looks to me. If only I can be part of that visiting crowd ! Credits to you for this wonderful guiding tour, Thomas!
