What other travelers are saying about Toki no Kane Time Bell Tower
This 時の鐘 was located in the little sideway where many shops were also very popular. There was one ice cream shop that featured a special soy sauce flavor which my son tasted and said it was not bad at all.
There’s also a chopsticks workshop that offered making your own chopsticks. Almost at the very end there was a yam chip snack shop where attracted crowds. Just be careful there were a lot of signs saying not to eat before their properties.
A canvas bag shop seemed very interesting and everywhere there was a Starbucks.
A historical structure (clock tower) which dated back many many years. It was very prominent as we were approaching from the Main Street. Many people was taking pictures with the structure and it was free as there wasn’t an entrance fees. It’s the icon of the area and therefore, a must visit if you are in kawagoe. Seen it on my social media platforms and a popular tourists spot.
Cute town and closed to Hon Hawagoe station. It is about a 15-minute walk. Buy a round trip pass. It's about an hour train ride. It's definitely worth a day trip. Not crowded. There's plenty of delicious food. You must have the pudding and u-nagni (eel)
An interesting place with local culture. A good walk from the train station. You will have to walk through modern shops before you can reach this old town area.
Was lucky to visit when the bell was rang. Visited in the morning on weekdays therefore there are not many people and some shops are still not opened. I love the street as it is full of shoplots with traditional design and architecture. At the base of Toki no kane you can enter the entrance to a small shrine inside.
