Highlights of Koedo Kawagoe
1 Kurazukuri Zone
蔵造りの町並み一番街 Kura no machi (Old Town Ichibangai Street) MAP C-3
Japanese homes once had strong buildings called "Kura" for on-property storage ofhousehold tools. Since these buildings were very fire-resistant, they developed into
residential buildings and stores in Kawagoe. This zone is a culturally significant area
where the atmosphere of a town about 120 years ago can be experienced.

時の鐘 Toki no kane (Time Bell Tower) MAP D-3
A building where a bell has been rung to announce
the time since the early Edo Period (1627–1634).
The current tower is the fourth version after the
tower was re-built immediately after the Great
Fire of Kawagoe (1893). Its towering presence
over the kurazukuri (storehouse) town has become
a symbol of Little Edo, Kawagoe.

菓子屋横丁 Kashiya Yokocho (Penny Candy Lane) MAP C-2
Kashiya Yokocho consists of traditional sweet shops, hard candy shops, and senbei (ricecracker) shops along a narrow street nearly 80 meters long. Hard candy, fugashi (wheat
gluten sweets), senbei, dango (skewered rice flour dumplings) and other inexpensive,
traditional sweets well-known to the Japanese can be bought. While you are trying the
sweets, enjoy a stroll along a street with many old shops.

Penny candy
Enjoy sampling traditional and inexpensive Japanese
sweets and snacks.
Dango (skewered rice flour dumplings)
Grilled dango topped with a sweetenedsoy sauce glaze are a popular specialty.

The bell is rung four times daily (6:00
a.m., 12:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m.),and its sound has been selected as
one of “100 Soundscapes of Japan:
Preserving Our Heritage” by the
Ministry of the Environment.
