[JP; 2019] Solo Series | Kawagoe

Kawagoe is a place I saw online and totally into it for it's traditional Japanese atmosphere!

Did some research online, there is this Kawagoe train pass available for tourist! I booked it and collected from the Seibu Tourist Information Center at Ikebukuro. It was tough to find the booth, but the station staff were all very friendly to show you the place!

If you're using kkday to purchase the tickets, you have to change the language to Chinese.

It was a rather long train ride, but everything was comfortable!

This is a district that resembling the historic Edo Period. Strolling along the streets will make you feel like walking into the past.
