Savor Kawagoe While Walking and Sampling Traditional and Sweet Potato Snacks
About this spot
A rare traditional snack specialty street continuing since the Meiji era. Old wooden buildings densely line the alley where vintage candy shops stand side by side. Kawagoe's signature sweet potato snacks—kenpis (fried sweet potato strips) and yokan (sweet potato cakes)—and colorful candies display in storefronts, captivating both children and adults. A simple stroll around the alley while sampling treats envelops you in nostalgia. It's perfect timing for a pre-fireworks snack where the whole family can choose their favorites.
Fireworks details
Name: 小江戸川越花火大会
Date & time: 11/21 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 川越市・安比奈親水公園
小江戸川越花火大会は、入間川沿いの安比奈親水公園を会場に開催される川越の秋の花火大会です。晩秋の澄んだ夜空は花火の色彩をくっきりと映し出し、夏の花火大会とはひと味違う鮮やかな光の競演を楽しめます。入間川の水面に映り込む花火の反射が、会場ならではの幻想的な情景を生み出します。周囲に遮るものが少ない河川敷からの見晴らしは抜群で、打ち上げ音も迫力たっぷり。蔵の街・川越で過ごした1日の締めくくりにふさわしい、忘れられない夜空のひとときです。
Tips
開催時刻は大会公式サイトで必ず事前確認を。荒天時は中止または延期になる場合があるため、当日の開催可否も公式発表で確認してください。終了後は来場者が一斉に移動するため、最寄り交通機関が混雑します。フィナーレ後はしばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから時間差で移動するのがおすすめです。帰り道は足元が暗いのでライトを忘れずに。
Tips
About 2 minutes on foot from the warehouse district. Many shops are cash-only, so bringing small change is convenient. Sweet potato snacks keep well and make great souvenirs. Store purchases in a station coin locker to move about freely until evening.
Best time to visit
Approximately 55 minutes required. Early afternoon has fewer crowds than evening, allowing you to browse leisurely.
