  1. Searching about kawagoe after seeing the tsuki ga kirei anime
    I'm not alone right

  2. 西武新宿線の特急に乗れば指定席で45分ぐらいで行けるし観光地まで歩いても行けますよ。
    あとウナギも美味しいです。
    ただ夏の川越は凄く暑くて土日はオーバーツーリズム状態です。

  3. 川越は埼玉県です。東京ではありません。東京は江戸と言われてましたが、川越は小江戸と言われてきました。

  4. 地元だけど最近はアジア系の姉ちゃんがめっちゃ客引してたりするから好んで駅付近とかは行かんなー
    時の鐘横の抹茶ラテとか飲み行きたんやけどなー

  5. 数年住んでました
    住むのには便利な場所だけど
    観光するのには川越はつまらないよ
    昔を感じられる菓子屋横丁は1時間すらも時間潰せない
    うなぎは他で食べるのと変わらない
    芋懐石なんて…
    市がもっと頑張ってほしい

  6. こんなに素敵に川越を紹介してくれて嬉しい
    次来る時はぜひつばさかりん食べてほしいめっちゃおいしいから
    そして関係ないけどこの紹介してくれてる人パパに似てる(

  7. 思ったよりも
    古い建物は
    チョコットだけだった。
    ( ;∀;)

  8. 我が町の紹介をありがとう
    これを見た人は是非来て欲しい

  9. 氷川神社は夏に行くと風鈴が沢山あって綺麗ですよ

  10. I am English and was on a business trip in kawagoe for a week (although my business was in Ageo) and I loved the city. It was beautiful, the old architecture was amazing and the place was magical on a Sunday’s when full families were out eating food from the vendors. Kawagoe must have had an impact on me as I was nearly in tears pointing out where I had been on this video to my wife.
    Thanks Kawagoe for the hospitality!

  11. I went to Kawagoe in this holiday. I saw many vendors selling local foods but there were so many people in line so we finally gave up haha. But that’s definitely a good memory!

  12. Glad to found this channel been to tokyo 2yrs ago never visited kawagoe will be coming back next month and will definitely visit this place

  13. What a charming and authentic Japanese town, and it's incredibly close to Tokyo! Well worth it visiting it, I'd say.
    Arigatou gozaimasu.

  14. My wife is from Kawagoe and we stay there at my mother-in-law's when we go visit. Beautiful, historic, definitely worth seeing if you get the chance. Kawagoe ga daisuki!

  15. Tsuki ga kirei brought me here. If I visit Japan I'll visit this place for sure.

  16. I've been here like a couple of years ago, decided to kill some time from tokyo, somehow I got lost after the first temple lol, being a backpacker taking picture of the old houses not the kawagoe part but a really small village I guess beside it, an old lady asked me for a tea I went to different houses and ask some instruction how to get back to the main road, luckily I manage to get the last bus almost end of the day.

  17. The idea is to see Kawagoe, t
    Not to see you…??? You may see the March of the Penguins narrated by Morgan Freedman… he is not a journalist… he was never on the show but did an amazing job… kawagoe speaks by itself. .
