This unique Starbucks is near the Toki no Kane bell tower and is a popular photo spot you definitely shouldn't miss when visiting Kawagoe.
It perfectly blends traditional Edo-period warehouse architecture with the historic streetscape through its black-tiled roof, white walls, and wooden exterior. If you want to avoid the daytime crowds, I personally recommend going in the early evening. Not only is the atmosphere quieter, but you can also sit down and take your time enjoying your coffee. Don't miss the elegant courtyard behind the building, which has a distinctly Japanese Zen feel. It's a beautiful Starbucks with lots of local character, where you'll want to sit quietly and stay awhile.
