Explore Kawagoe’s Castle Town with a 5km “HOT” GPS Art✨
This 5km GPS art route connects Kawagoe Station and Hon-Kawagoe Station, allowing you to draw the word “HOT” while strolling through one of Japan’s most charming historical towns. The short distance makes it perfect for the hot summer season, combining sightseeing with the unique experience of GPS art.
Kawagoe developed as a castle town under the Kawagoe Domain during the Edo period, and its historical charm lives on in the preserved streetscapes known as “Koedo” (Little Edo). Landmarks like the iconic Toki-no-Kane bell tower, the Kurazukuri merchant houses, and Kashiya Yokocho (Candy Alley) make the area an attractive destination for visitors. Hon-Kawagoe Station serves as a key access point to this cultural hub, bustling with tourists on weekends.
Kawagoe Station, on the JR Kawagoe Line and Tobu Tojo Line, is another convenient gateway, blending modern urban development with the traditional aesthetics of the old castle town.
This “HOT” GPS art route offers a delightful combination of modern cityscapes and Edo-period charm. Why not create your own map art while exploring the streets of Koedo this summer?
