Kawagoe Guided Tour No.2
Kurazukuri Street Classic Tour
Kurazukuri District – Time Bell Tower
Stroll through Kawagoe’s lovely Kurazukuri warehouse district with your expert local guide on this relaxed private tour. Enjoy the beautiful Edo-era clay-walled buildings, listen to charming stories of Little Edo, taste authentic local street food, and feel the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere that makes Kawagoe so special.
Your journey begins at Renkeiji Temple, a peaceful hidden gem at the entrance to the historic district, and tranquil Kumano Shrine, dedicated to good fortune. Wander these atmospheric lanes of the Kurazukuri district, where majestic black-plastered warehouses line the streets like a living Edo-period museum. Pause at the iconic Time Bell Tower (Toki no Kane) to hear its 400-year-old chimes. Sample local treats like sweet potato snacks or baked rice cracker senbei along the way.
