Stroll Through the Sweet Aroma of Penny Candy Lane and Enjoy Tastings
About this spot
A signature attraction of Kawagoe with penny candy shops and sweet stores lined along a stone-paved alley. Traditional candies like mint drops, wheat crackers, and sweet potato confections fill the shelves. The sweet aroma has been selected as one of the "100 Fragrant Landscapes of Japan." Enjoy leisurely walks through this retro alley with the area's famous long wheat candy and hand-grilled crackers in hand.
Tips
Weekend afternoons get crowded, so bring small change for quick purchases. The alley is narrow, so stroller users should yield to others. Enjoy your purchased candies at a nearby open space while taking a break.
Best time to visit
Allow 1 hour. Crowded on weekend afternoons; mornings are quieter.
