Ogakiku
Since its establishment in the 4th year of the Bunka era (1807) during the late Edo period, this renowned store has been devoted exclusively to eel. Even after transitioning through six eras - Edo, Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa - the store continues to be celebrated for its exquisitely grilled eels, each piece cooked with meticulous care, just as in the past.
Ogakiku is a famous century-old eel restaurant in Kawagoe. The eel skin is grilled until fragrant and crisp, while the meat is tender and delicate. Paired with the sweet savory sauce, it’s absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a strong traditional Japanese old-house atmosphere, and you can enjoy authentic unagi rice here. It’s a very popular dining spot in Kawagoe.

Starbucks Coffee Kawagoe Bell Street Store
In the historic warehouse district of Koedo Kawagoe, the Starbucks on Bell Street, located along a cobblestone path by the towering "Time Bell," is one of the "Regional Landmark Stores" that showcases the culture and allure of various regions in Japan.
The Starbucks in Kawagoe is designed in the style of a traditional Japanese kura-style townhouse, blending historic architecture with modern design beautifully. It has a charming old-town atmosphere.
The interior is comfortable and elegant, and enjoying coffee next to the garden feels especially relaxing. It’s one of Kawagoe’s popular photo spots. -

Kawagoe Kumano Shrine
This shrine, affectionately known as "Okumansama" by locals, was established in 1590 from the division of the Kishu Kumano Hongu Taisha during the Muromachi period. It is known for its blessings of good fortune, with numerous lucky spots within its precincts, including the "Fortune-Trying Ring Toss" and the "Treasure Pond," where visitors wash money for increased wealth.
Kawagoe Kumano Shrine is known for good fortune, prosperity, and matchmaking. The grounds have fun features like a foot-massage health path and cute amulets, making the visit really enjoyable.
The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant, with both traditional culture and a strong focus on prayers for good luck. It’s a popular spot in Kawagoe that’s well worth visiting. -
