Kitain Temple Kawagoe: Edo Castle Remains Tour
Most people don’t know that one of the only places in Japan where you can see original buildings from Edo Castle is in Kawagoe — at Kitain Temple.
This private tour takes you deep into the temple’s fascinating history. You’ll explore the luxurious Shoin hall where shoguns once stayed, stand in the very room where Tokugawa Iemitsu (the third shogun) was born, and stand in awe before the famous 500 Rakan statues — each one carved with a completely unique expression.
The peaceful atmosphere and rich stories make this one of the most memorable stops on any Kawagoe day trip from Tokyo. Many guests say they feel a real connection to Japan’s samurai past here.
Book your private Kitain Temple tour and experience this living piece of Edo Castle history for yourself.
