Kashiya Yokocho

Cute alleyways filled with traditional sweet shops. Not too busy on the Tuesday afternoon. Lovely to see people walking in rented kimonos

A short and narrow alley of retro candy shops. Very colourful and vibrant especially when we visited there were groups of young students excursions.

Going through the narrow streets of this candy alley is fun. You see traditional Japanese sweets and also their famous sweet potatoes which were in season when we visited. *Kawagoe, Japan

The sweets district that part of Kawagoe-shi tourist attraction. I went here during October's Kawagoe-shi Festivals so the place was quite packed with local visitors. No bus service during 2 days festival & no vehicle allowed so yes you just walk. Various local shops offering traditional sweets & snacks here. I tried Taiyaki, a traditional bread filled with sweet paste, from an old shop. It was a chilling afternoon so I enjoyed it. The sweets are cute with many shapes, colors & taste. By the way, when I was looking for public restroom the place was situated like 5 min walk toward the bridge. Not that far from it I saw a path to the lower section which you can walk right beside a water way. The place so pretty & I spend some time there since I can't make it to Kawagoe-shi canal due to time.

A fantastic time capsule of how shops sold traditional Japanese sweets. The highlight is doing the "balloon candy." You will need to reserve your spot in person and it's only available on weekends.
