We are in the middle of the Golden week, here in Japan, so I had some time to visit 本川越.

HonKawaGoe (本川越) is the last stop on the Seibu Shinjuku line 西武新宿線.

It is supposed to be a part of old Japan which still resists modernization.

The town of HonKawagoe is full of beautiful old relic like buildings.

If you like old cities and culture, its really a nice place to visit.

When the buildings aren’t antiquated, they are in the very least, picturesque.

Maybe because this is Golden week, but at the time there was also a Matsuri 祭り. (Traditional festivities)
