time travelling trip to Edo period

did you know that it takes only 30minutes from central tokyo to Kawagoe ?

its where you will experience time travelling into Edo period ~ where old buildings with black plaster and thick gatefolds are lined up on the street . while the temples & shrines stand quietly & celestially. listen to the children's laughters and voices from the penny-candy alley too ....

these sights & sounds will make u feel as if you've travelled back in time ... heheheh

Kawagoe is also called " little edo" in Saitama prefecture, located just next to Tokyo. its also proudly protected by its people . Kawagoe matsuri is one of the biggest festival over there and its held every Oct , they celebrate by decorating tall "Dashi" floats & parade them on the streets.
