Immersing yourself in the traditional culture of the Kawagoe Festival in Saitama Prefecture is an experience not to be missed. This half-day guided tour offers a rich tapestry of cultural experiences, from festivals and sake tasting to Japanese cuisine and crafts.

The tour begins with a visit to the festival hall, followed by a leisurely exploration of streets lined with traditional storehouses.
