Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is a historic shrine that is said to have been built around 1500 years ago. The main shrine features elaborate engravings, and it has been designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
Hikawa Shrine has an ema tunnel, which is a passageway made from wish plaques. Walking through it feels like your wishes will come true.


Togetsukyo Bridge
The bridge was built in the first half of the 9th century during the Heian period (794-1185). It has been washed out many times, but each time it has been rebuilt. It is said that the name was given by Emperor Kameyama in the Kamakura period (1185-1333), as the moon moved across the bridge as if it were crossing over it.
This has always been a fantastic spot for viewing cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. In summer, you can take a yakatabune boat and watch cormorant fishing. It's one of Kyoto's most popular attractions.
