The red pagoda looks very interesting as well as the Kumano Shrine. I would love to try local food as it seems very tasty.

Thanks Lisa. We loved our time in Kawagoe and wouldn’t hesitate to go back again.

Yes, the Japanese go through the original process on how temples and historical buildings were made. On our recent trip to Japan, we saw a short video of how the Himeji castle was restored. It’s amazing to see how much labor went into restoring in current time.

That has to be the best looking Starbucks I’ve ever seen! The Warehouse District looks so authentic, I could see myself here for an hour or two!

The architecture of the temples and the buildings is absolutely stunning! Japan has been on my bucket list for a while now and I’d love to include Kawagoe into my trip. The ice cream with gold flakes does sound fancy – would love to try it!

But overall, I like the feeling your photos give to me – a traditional, cozy neighborhood, with historic buildings and ancient temples. As far as I know, in Japan they rebuilt the old temples every few years/ decades. They respect the exact design, ornaments, organization but they rebuilt it from scratch – it is their way of seeing restoration and authenticity. I haven’t been to Japan but this is what I learned from book when I studied architecture many years ago.
