At the Kawagoe City Museum, you can really get a clear understanding of Kawagoe's history during the Edo period. The explanations are very detailed. Visiting here before joining local cultural activities helps you appreciate the area even more.

I heard that even the Japanese Emperor tried these and loved them, so I had to buy some myself. Turns out, a lot of people were buying them too! I got the signature flavor—the rich buttery aroma with sugar on top is amazing. Perfect with tea. Highly recommended!

This place was actually used as a filming location for the movie Kiki's Delivery Service, which really shows just how beautiful the scenery is.

There are so many teas to choose from here! I bought a small pack to take home. They also have sweets that go well with tea—the edamame mochi is especially famous. It's a bit sweet and has a nice texture with bits of beans. Definitely worth a try!
