What other travelers are saying about Toki no Kane Time Bell Tower
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.
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.
A landmark of Kawagoe’s old town, the iconic Bell Tower stands tall, preserving the charm of this historical area. It’s a symbol of the city’s rich heritage and a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the traditional streets of Kawagoe.
A new tower which stands on the very same position as the first ones. It’s a refurbished, still old, bell tower which’s sound has been connected with this city and its culture. Impressive regarding its initial design and a beacon of old times. It’s in the center of everything so do pay a visit if you’re in Kawagoe. Lots of places for food and drinks nearby.
