Kawagoe

30 minutes from the city center.Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, where you can experience the four eras of the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei eras while retaining the atmosphere of Edo.
A cute cafe with historical buildings, cultural properties, seasonal nature, delicious gourmet food.
Nicknamed the “Little Edo”, due to the presence of old commercial houses dating back to the 19th century and its traditional sites, the city is a pleasant alternative that can be used as a substitute for a few days in Tokyo. Famous is the Ichiban-gai street where we could admire the kurazukuri, white houses that look like warehouses.
We will pedal long the river cycle route and we will finish under the Toku no Kane Tower (the time bell) where we could imagine the atmosphere of the Edo era, lunch and a visit to the temple of prosperity and then return to the Urawa station.
We will meet in our office, Urawa station, and we will begin our tour up to kawagoe for 28 km, but first we will taste Italian ice cream in a typical farm, after cooling off we will continue in total safety along the Arakawa cycle path. Once we arrive in Kawagoe, a regenerating lunch awaits us. You will have time to visit Kawagoe, full of temples and beautiful shops, drink a good coffee and we will return to the starting point accompanied by the sound of nature.
