Kashiya Yokocho


I will search Kashiya Yokocho in Kawagoe. In English, Kashiya Yokocho is said an alley of confectionery. The reasons why I chose this topic are I like candy, and I’m not interested in temples. Kashiya Yokocho is a group of shops that sell cheap sweets. The street was started by Fujizaemon Suzuki in 1796. There are many cheap sweets.


The most popular sweet in the street is Fugashi, so many people go home from Kawagoe have  fugashi,but there are more sweet there. Sweet potato and purple potato soft ice cream, brittle, and average cheap sweets. Weigh candy is also popular thing. there are various color candy.

 If you want to eat other things, you can go to  tampopo an okonomiyaki shop. It is run an old lady, and the okonomiyaki is very delicious and cheap. The cost is 250 yen, so many people come there. It also has been introduced in magazines.



 If you are tired walking or standing, you should go to a rest place like an old Japanese house. The house has bamboo and narrow wooden passageway. You sit on the narrow wooden road, and then you may become composed. After you buy some sweets, you can eat the sweet on the narrow wooden passageway.


Kashiya Yokocho is enjoyable place from children to old people, so you can enjoy eating Japanese sweets and seeing street. If you become hungry when you are sight seeing in Kawagoe, please drop into Kashiya Yokocho.
