Let’s have a walking tour in Kawagoe, The Little Edo. Kawagoe is a city in Saitama Prefecture. It’s 30 minutes to an hour by train from most areas of central Tokyo. In the Edo period (1603-1867), when Tokyo was known as Edo, Kawagoe became a bustling commercial center so much so that it earned the nickname "Little Edo." The streets are lined with old-fashioned warehouse-style shops and homes. The place is filled with charm and history. Many shops sell souvenirs and handcrafted goods. Old-fashioned and chic cafes offer seasonal and original sweets. It’s fun to go there. Please enjoy watching.
