Weekend trip to Kawagoe

There are a lot of places visiting not far out of Tokyo. Some are easy to just take a train to, others better by car. Kawagoe is one fo those you can just take a straight train out of Shibuya for about 30 minutes. Kawagoe is called "little Edo" because it's the old Tokyo. There are a lot of very old cool wooden houses here that you can't find in the city. Lot of nice snacks and food too. And, they are famous for their Unagi which is one of my favourites!


The rising sun 
The famous Unagi was amazing 
Unagi shop 
Oldschool small shops 
We happened to come the same day a big summer fireworks festival was planned. All the young people wearing Yukatas for the evening party 
The old clock tower 
Those amazing massive trees! 
This bank was def designed by someone not Japanese back in the days 
Write a good wish 
Summer in the air (but 36 degrees hot so don't think they were enjoying) 
Temple trinkets 
She's probably been here since the shop was opened, 100 years ago 
Street view with a mix of new and old 
Ninja! 
The sakura here must look nice 
Oh yum with some sweet potato and pastry wrapped around it
