[2025 Kawagoe Attraction] Travel Guide for Kurazukuri no Machinami / Warehouse District (Updated Jun)

The street of old houses built by Kawagoe Ichibanya has been developed since the Edo period. What is rare is that this old street seems to have stopped time in the Edo period, and still retains many ancient buildings and traditional culture of the Edo period in Japan 😍 There are shops on both sides of Ichiban Old Street, very few ancient houses, but the Tibetan buildings are still well preserved, the construction style is very characteristic, some of which are more designated as intangible cultural property 😗 We arrived at 5pm, most of the shops have been closed, but the streets are quieter, more feel the tranquility of Koedo 🥰 #Japan Attractions

Kawagoe is less than an hour away from downtown Tokyo by train and is now a very popular tourist attraction in the suburbs of Tokyo. The quaint Kurazukuni-no-machi Kawagoe Old Street, the Hikawa Shrine where people pray for love, and the Kashiya Yokocho where many traditional Japanese snacks are sold... are all popular attractions in Kawagoe. Of course, don't forget to try the famous eel rice and Japanese confectionery in Kawagoe. #Japan Attractions

Tucked along the nostalgic streets of Kawagoe’s Kurazukuri district, Kameya Eisen is a delightful stop for anyone with a sweet tooth or a love for traditional Japanese culture. Housed in a historic building, the shop immediately catches your eye with its old-world charm—and stepping inside feels like walking back in time. The interior is lined with neatly arranged shelves of classic Japanese sweets and pastries, from red bean treats to seasonal mochi and delicate wagashi. What made it extra special was watching some of these confections baked fresh right in the store, filling the air with an inviting, homey aroma. Even if you’re just browsing, the nostalgic ambiance is worth soaking in. We couldn’t resist picking up a few items—everything we tried was tasty and well-crafted, with prices that were surprisingly reasonable for such artisanal treats. ⸻ Final Verdict Kameya Eisen is more than just a snack stop—it’s a slice of old Japan wrapped in sweetness and tradition. A must-visit for foodies, gift-hunters, and anyone looking to savor Kawagoe’s cultural charm. #summervacay #japan #japantrip #tokyo #tokyotrip #KameyaEisen #KawagoeSweets #TraditionalJapaneseSnacks #WagashiLovers #KawagoeOldTown #KurazukuriCharm #JapanesePastries #HistoricShopsJapan #KawagoeEats #LittleEdoTreats #NostalgicJapan #FoodieInKawagoe

The Clock of Time in Kawagoe Kurazukuri Old Street The Toki-no-Kane is a bell tower in Kurazukuri Street and has been designated as a tangible cultural property by Kawagoe City. The main body of the bell tower is a three-story tower-like structure, about 16 meters high. The bell is rung four times a day: at 6 a.m., 12 noon, 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. The children went out to take pictures, and the pictures were so beautiful in the good weather. It seems that many cities in Japan have clock towers to tell time! #Tokyo #Kawagoe #Kurazou Old Street #Time #tokei #penguin #kumamon #Kumamon #Minister #Japan #Raccoon #Larabird #kiwibird #Kurume Kappa #Miyazaki Dog #Foodie

Tokyo Kawagoe Edo Ancient Street Food Sharing 😋🥰 After visiting the shrine, we spent the afternoon looking for delicious food in the old streets of Kawagoe. Sweet potato is a famous local specialty, so you will see many sweet potato foods and dolls, which are quite cute. I tried the turtle-shaped cakes, chestnut desserts, craft beer and eel liver skewers from the century-old shop, all of which tasted like tourists. There aren't that many food restaurants, so it might be better to just have some snacks and wait for dinner in the evening! #Kurazou Old Street #Kawagoe #Penguin #Tsuruya #Tokyo #beers #beer #penguin #sweet potato #chestnut #Koedo #eel liver #food #Japan #tokyo #Tokyo itinerary

Kawagoe Pudding is located in the middle of the street of old houses in Ichiban-gai. The storefront is made of wood in Japanese style Opening from July 11, 2018 It has been one of the most popular products since it was first sold. Among them, potato pudding is the most popular You can see that there are diced sweet potatoes on the bottom of the pudding. But I am more interested in the original flavor and matcha flavor. The original pudding is made from pure eggs and melts in your mouth Has a light vanilla flavor The caramel sauce at the bottom is not too sweet. The matcha pudding uses Kawagoe matcha. In addition to the rich matcha flavor, I also feel the aroma of eggs😍 The bottom layer is made with black bean molasses. The overall taste is smooth and super delicious!

#SaitamaTourism #777 I highly recommend the lovely town of Koedo Kawagoe. It's a short walk from the station, but as you walk, you'll see a completely different view from the everyday scenery, full of traditional Japanese atmosphere. It's so relaxing, and you'll want to take pictures without even thinking. Kawagoe is also rich in delicious food, so I especially recommend eating your way around. I recommend the small bakeries Imokoi and Rakuraku, which are delicious, but they're popular and always crowded! There are also many different shops selling chopsticks, chopstick rests, tableware, pickles, and more, so you'll never get bored. The scenery changes with the seasons, and it's worth seeing.
