Kashiya Yokocho (Candy Alley)
# 3   of 5 sights
in Kawagoe

Kashiya Yokocho or "sweets store alley" is a short and narrow lane in central Kawagoe, not far from the bell tower. It is lined by several stores, housed in old buildings and selling traditional Japanese sweets.

Among the sweets sold are various candies, rice crackers, sugar coated, deep fried cookies (karinto) and sweets made of red bean paste and sweet potatoes.

It is a wonderful place for trying some traditional Japanese sweets, while experiencing an atmosphere from past decades.

How to get there
The candy alley is a few steps from the Kurazukuri Street, or a 15-20 minute walk north of Hon-Kawagoe Station.
