Overview of your Tokyo tour:

I will take you to the Kawagoe Town, one of my favorite sites with lovely old town atmosphere with history. Kawagoe is a town located in Saitama prefecture, about 50km northeast of Tokyo and a town retaining old atmosphere of Edo, Taisho and Showa period (16th to 20th century). It takes just about 30 min from Tokyo by train and is the perfect place for a day excursion to experience a contrasting change from the hustle and bustle of the big city. In Kawagoe, there are many aspects you can enjoy, I will take you some historical sites, such as Kitain temple, Kawagoe castle, Hikawa Shrine. The highlights is to stroll around the town center, Kuranomachi, and enjoy shopping, eating, finding nice souvenir. I will show you the hidden path and nice photo spots, too. This is a wonderful way to experience the environs outside of Tokyo with a fascinating bit of local history and culture. This private tour can be customized to meet your personal preference.
