TOKYO DAY TRIP | Kawagoe, Japan Travel Itinerary: Things to do, see, and eat

Are you looking for more things to do when you visit Tokyo? Take a day trip to Kawagoe, Japan—a city known as “Little Edo” because of its scenic townscape that will transport you back in time to feudal Japan.

Kawagoe is located less than an hour away from Tokyo via Express Train. This city is a perfect addition to your Japan travel itinerary if you want to experience historical Japan and escape Tokyo’s busy, modern city. I hope you find this video helpful when planning your Japan trip!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Remi. A Japanese-American millennial navigating adulthood in Los Angeles. I was born in Fukuoka, Japan but was adopted and raised in Los Angeles, CA.

I love playing tourist in my own city and discovering new places to visit (& eat)!

My mission is to encourage people to be tourists in their own cities by sharing my experiences with the world. You’ll discover places to visit in Los Angeles/Southern California and get an understanding of what it’s like to live in LA. I’ll also take you with me as I continue to learn more about Japan and my Japanese heritage.

Thanks so much for watching!
