Why don't you spend a different holiday in Kawagoe, which is not so far from central Tokyo?
The Bell of Time and the Streets of Kura-Zukuri
A short walk from Honkawagoe Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line will take you back to the Edo
period.
There are many historic buildings in Kawagoe, and this is one of the most representative. It has been
selected as an "Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings" by the Japanese
government.

This is the "Toki no Kane", the symbol of Kawagoe.
I couldn't hear the bell at the right time, but it actually rings at 6am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm.

Kawagoe has many buildings of high historical value.
There are also many tourists from overseas, and I have a feeling that Kawagoe will become even
more popular in the future.
A trip back in time from the present to Koedo Kawagoe is highly recommended.
