Kawagoe is my favorite place in Japan. I would like to introduce to you is, of course, my city Kawagoe! Located in central Saitama Prefecture, Kawagoe developed as a castle town. The city still has traditional warehouse style merchant houses called Kurazukuri, built of thin wooden poles and clay, and it has become a popular sightseeing spot. On weekends people swarm to this antique city to enjoy the atmosphere of the Edo period (1603-1867).
