Kawago, Saitama Prefecture: Time Travel in Little Edo 🎎

#JapanTravel Located in Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo, Kawazou is known as “Little Edo” for its historic streets that transport visitors back to the Edo period (1603-1868). The city is characterized by traditional buildings and shops that preserve the character of the ancient times, making it an ideal destination for lovers of Japanese history and culture. One of Kawazou’s most notable landmarks is **Kurazukuri Street**, famous for its old warehouses built in the 19th century. Once warehouses for storing goods, these warehouses have now been transformed into shops, cafes, and stores selling traditional Japanese goods such as sweets and handicrafts. You can also visit **Tokino Ken Tower**, an ancient clock tower that is considered a symbol of the city. The clock chimes every hour, transporting visitors back in time. If you want to experience a traditional Japanese ritual, visit **Kitaen-sa**, which features many Buddhist statues and peaceful scenery. Kawaju is a unique blend of history, culture, and tranquility that makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese experience near Tokyo. 🌸🚶♂️
