I spent a wonderful afternoon in...

Nancy S, Feb 2016
I spent a wonderful afternoon in Kawagoe learning about the Edo period in Tokyo with my most gracious and generous guides Manami and Takeshi! They made sure I enjoyed all the specialties of the area from the shrines and temples to sweet potato-bean paste dumplings, local candies, craft beer and sake-tasting. the Tour is at a relaxed pace and is customized to suit your preferences.
