You’ll catch a train to Kawagoe, a living remnant of Japan’s Edo era, and discover its relics, museums, and unique culture with an insightful host. Together, you could explore Kita-in Temple, where you’ll find a room that once formed part of Tokyo’s iconic Edo Castle, or you could witness the power of the annual Kawagoe Festival when locals take to the streets on extravagant floats to celebrate the arrival of summer.

If you’re not lucky enough to see it live, you can get a taste at the unique Festival Museum! Down in Penny Candy Lane, you might discover a world of sweet delights in a rustic setting, or you could wander along Kurazukuri Street, where traditional charcoal-tiled buildings offer a unique glimpse into the past.
