Travel Guide.

I'm going to show you around Beautiful Kawagoe Way.

Only a 30 minute train ride from central Tokyo.

Even though it's close to Japan City that never sleeps, you'll feel like you've traveled pretty far with the traditional temples and shrines to the old souvenir shops.

College Way harnesses the charm of places like Kyoto, full of history and exciting information from the past looks chaotic.

This trip was a bit of a challenge.

I decided to try and get around my day trip using Illy Translator, a translation device.

Great for travelers who need a little help wondering around an unknown Japan hot spot.

Your dogs air so cute.

E.

I didn't speak Japanese the whole entire trip, so let's get right into the video and see how it goes.

Well, you off.

Hey, guys, I'm in college boy today and I'm with Billy and we're going to walk around college boy and see some tribes.

I got my bus ticket, so let's go.

Hold on on when you are.

First mission was to find the most popular place to end up.

We asked several people with the translator and found a guy that was willing to put to the test way.

What's the best place to soothe?

Could I know Machi Courant?

No.

Machi high.

Okay, thank you very much.

So the lady at the information counter said, um to go to Kuta?

No, Machi.

I thought it was put on a watch, which he said could on a watch.

So we're gonna go there.

But first, we're gonna take the Lupus and go to some shrines.

Check them out.

We got our math s.

So let's dio all it needed was a little spar Jim, before we stopped at college, Boy supposedly popular could a new machi.

We made our first pit stop at Keep Dying Temple.

It was thought to have been founded in 18 50 80 And it was supported by show Gone Ieyasu, the man who closed Japan to the outside world.

The cherry blossoms were blooming at this time which made the temple of pink paradise the theme thing to check out Here are the 500 knock on which our life like stone statues created by artists Despite Japan separation from the outside world, each stone statue has its own personality, which makes this display most unique.

It was about lunchtime and I wanted to know what the most popular food at this festival.

Waas So I used really translator to help me e Question e Most popular way We were on a quest for dango.

There is one stand at the entrance so we headed over there to grab some I don go is basically made of mochi rice balls with a soy sauce and salty flavor.

They also sold things like sweet potato and drinks.

It looks so good.

I'm so excited to eat this.

I'm going to share it with my friends I don't know about you, but I will never get tired of temples.

I know I've said this before, but I feel like so much of the culture runs through my blood when I visit Zen places like these.

So much history in one building just always amazes me every single time.

And I'm also very in touch with my surrounding so I could feel every piece of what Japan has to offer with Italy Translator in hand, I asked a guide stationed at this temple.

How old?

It actually waas 400.

Yeah 100.

Your English is very good.

Yeah, that s so pretty.

Theme.

Next must be stopped before Cuda.

No, Machi is Hayakawa Shrine.

This shrine is well known for relationships and matchmaking.

This shrine is 1500 years old and has more than one way to improve your luck romantically, one of those ways is catching a good luck.

Koi fish, Japanese.

I honestly didn't understand what my fortune was, so I searched for someone who I could ask.

Accident e.

I am very happy to say that I got the best fortune.

You can learn and experience so much on a day trip.

We couldn't see everything here in one day, so I definitely would love to make another trip back.

So we're heading Thio Kono Machi now, which is a very old town in Kawagoe.

And it's supposed to represent the Edo period.

We grabbed a quick bite to eat before exploring the old shops down Kono Machi Kono machi represents Japan's Edo period cuda, meaning warehouse and machi, meaning street.

Back in the day, the street was a successful commercial town.

The merchants here became so rich that they built their very own shops.

I recently had this big love for Japanese roasted green tea, and when I saw a shot for it, I wanted to purchase a bag to take home.

Oh, look, a this'll so cute.

Judita.

I love Judita.

I met a woman who worked at the tea shop who noticed Illy translator from a TV commercial.

She got so excited E.

Was able to purchase my tea and I was so happy.

Kawagoe is also known for its a large amount of sweet potato foods.

Japanese sweet potato is one of my favorite things to eat in Japan.

If you love museums, Kaluga Way has its very own.

The wooden structures they used in their festivals are on display.

The movie is all in Japanese, but the image is pretty much says it all.

It looks chaotic.

Walking further down the road, we came to a street also known as Candy Street, full of traditional snacks and souvenirs for all to enjoy.

This street was my favorite place in Kawagoe Way.

So far, there was so much to look at and try.

I noticed people were carrying large, lengthy boxes with what looked like a sweet potato on steroids.

It turns out it's a spongy bread like lightweight sweet potato snack and it's calico, a specialty.

Oh, okay, so it's It's a ginormous piece of bread.

Italy has served me well this trip, if I do say so myself.

It was definitely difficult not being able to speak Japanese, since I have studied it for so long.

But it was nice to get a feel of what it's like to be a traveler that doesn't know the language.

I think this is like not Oh wow, that's so cool.

Specialty coffee.

It looks good.

It smells good in here.

Ending our day with coffee was the cherry on top.

Cowlick away is definitely a Tokyo day trip gem.

I didn't know much about it before, but now I do, and I will definitely come back for more since there's just so much to see.

E.

I hope you enjoy this day trip to Kawa.
