Koedo Kawagoe Ichibangai Shopping Street
"Kawagoe," which thrived as a crucial point for transporting food such as rice and vegetables to Edo using the "Shingashi River," still retains its historical charm. The town is lined with traditional storehouses, preserving the vibes of yesteryears. Owing to these traces of the past, it's fondly referred to as the modern-day Little Edo.
When visiting Kawagoe, you can't miss the lively Koedo Kawagoe Ichibangai Shopping Street! Kawagoe is known as “Little Edo,” and walking through it feels like stepping into a time tunnel. The street is lined with historic kura-style storehouse buildings, featuring sturdy black-tiled roofs, dark wooden walls, and thick fireproof walls that showcase the distinctive architectural style of merchants from the Edo period. Along the way, there is a dazzling variety of snacks, Japanese sweets, and unique souvenirs. Every shop has something interesting to see, making it hard not to stop and browse. There’s none of the rushed feeling of a big city here. Instead, the atmosphere is relaxed and carefree. Strolling around, eating as you go, and slowly taking in the old street scenery is the most charming part of a trip to Kawagoe.
