What other travelers are saying about Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
Nice old town of Japan to explore around, away from cities with rare view of old buildings in the towns. There are stretch of streets where we stroll around in a the town and it comes w music on the whole stretch of streets. Really Romantic 🥰
Serene shrine. When visit 川越 Kawagoe we bought day pass ¥700 depart/return Seibu station to Hon Kawagoe. 1 hour travel. Do not add on another ¥700 for local bus as we prefer walking in this small town. From Hon Kawagoe we take bus ¥230 to shrine from Kawagoe train station. By walking sightseeing sakura along the river before walk back to old street for food and then back to train station again
Beautiful shrine with lots of interesting things to do inside! Apart from just paying respect to the God, you can fish for your fortune/relationship, walk around an ancient tree for good luck and wash away your bodily sins in a mini stream. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Kawagoe!
This shrine is so pretty. I love the ema board tunnel. There are a lot of families with kids as well as students here, so it's quite crowded the day I went to visit. To get here you can take bus number 6 from Kawagoe station. Once done visiting you can go to the town where the Toki no Kane is and try some local delicacies and shop around, you can take bus number 6 to the town from the shrine.
