Day Trip to Kawagoe
Last Sunday I went on a day trip to Kawagoe with a
friend of mine. The sun was shining and the sky was blue without any clouds. It
took us about one hour to get there and we arrived in the afternoon. We
happened to stumble upon an Asian festival, which had some tasty food options
to choose from. We ate food and then visited some shrines in the area where we
had our fortunes told, luckily, our fortunes were quite good. We walked through
the Edo period street called Ichibangai Shopping Street which had lots of
lovely little souvenir shops and chic coffee shops. We took some photos at
Kitain temple, which was so colorful and pretty, the leaves are slowly changing
color and were a lovely warm red and yellow hue. We walked around for most of
the day and were exhausted by evening time. After a yummy cream coffee, it was
time to hit the trains again and head home. I would highly recommend Kawagoe as
a good place to visit, and will be sure to tell people about it.
