Kawagoe Toki no Kane

This is a landmark building in Kawagoe, with the gate of Yasaka Shrine below it. This alley sells many local sweets. The main road ahead is Kawagoe's old merchant street, lined with wooden buildings that have an Edo period feel. Unfortunately, because it is a main thoroughfare, there are too many cars. However, if you walk towards Kawagoe Station, there is a smaller road with more charm and fewer cars. While walking, pay attention to the manhole covers, which are different from those in other places. There are several painted designs, and you can vote for your favorite one.
