What to expect
- Kinchoda
Higanbana is also known as Manjusaka because its flowering season coincides with the "higan" season in Japan. In Buddhism, "higanbana" has also been mentioned many times. It is a very unique plant. The flowering period of Higanbana is from mid-September to early October every year. The "Kinchakuda" in Saitama Prefecture can be said to be the largest in Japan! It has the largest number of Higanbana in the country, 5 million! Looking around, it is like a crimson carpet covering the ground, shocking every visitor who comes. In addition, Kinchoda is surrounded by the Koma River, as if surrounded by a bag, hence the name. While coming to appreciate the Higanbana, why not take a look at the unique geographical scenery of this area!
- Koedokawagoe
Kawagoe City in Saitama Prefecture retains the feelings of the Edo period. Here you can experience the customs of the four eras of Meiji, Taisho, Showa and Heisei. The most famous is the "Bell of Time" which is the symbol of Kawagoe. It has been responsible for telling time since the Edo period and is deeply loved by local people. Until now, accompanied by the sound of the wooden bell tower, the scenery of the street and the smell of the street, it has a unique charm, allowing you to fully experience the feelings of Little Edo Kawagoe. In addition, on the busiest "Ichiban Street" in Kawagoe, there are many buildings with unique appearances. It is very suitable to wear a yukata and stroll in this beautiful historical old street to feel the atmosphere as if traveling through time. In addition, "Kaishiya Yokocho" is also a famous attraction in Kawagoe. This stone road is dotted with colorful glass and gathers about 30 candy stores. Taking a leisurely walk here, everyone will feel like returning to their childhood, full of human touch.

Reviews
its time consuming to go to places so far away from the city centre. its nice to have a tour bus with a tour guide to show you around! would be much better if we had more time in Kawagoe!
Visiting all three attractions felt a bit rushed, allowing only for a quick look, but it was still worth participating. During the return trip from the last attraction, three Hong Kong individuals intentionally left the group without informing the tour guide, wasting 25 minutes of time for each of the other 38 tour members!!!
The tour guide was fantastic and very friendly. After explaining everything in Japanese, they made a point of going over it again in Chinese. They also took the time to personally inform us about the details of the upcoming itinerary.
There was not much time at the rice field due to the long lines to go and down the observatory, We barely have time for lunch at Kawagoe so hardly anytime to explore even just the main street. The guide just tell us where we are heading next and what time to get back to the bus. That's pretty much he said the whole trip. His english was so bad that he ended up giving us the incorrect information so we got off the bus in the wrong return destination.
