I lived for sometime in Sayama city a few stops away from Kawagoe on the Seibu Shinjuku line and would often go to Kitain and Kurazukuri row to check out what was going on there. I have to recommend the Kawagoe Matsuri museum which is on Kurazukuri row. It is a great little museum with lots of interesting information about the festival and the dashi that are the main attraction. Don't forget to go down Confectionery row (Kashi-ya yokocho) as well!

One of my first trips outside of Tokyo was to Kawagoe. I called it <a href="http://www.furman.edu/inted/viewentry.cfm?id=64" rel="nofollow">"Purple Potato Town"</a> because my Japanese was crappy and I was trying to be hip. (Ha ha. Failed.) Man, good memories. Thanks for sharing! Wow! This is crazy nostalgic for me. One of my first trips outside of Tokyo was to Kawagoe.
