Kawagoe in the evening

25 Oct 2009 - My colleague told me about Windows7 Whopper (pic at the end of this post) and my first reaction was "Wow damn, I am going to try it this weekend". And then I began to search the internet for Burger Kings near my place. Found one at Kawagoe and there I went...


I was so damn tired after Ome Matsuri that I slept sooo much and woke up at 1pm. And after some preparations and travelling, I reached Kawagoe around 4pm.

お菓子屋横丁

I checked the map and found this place interesting. It's just an alley that is filled with sweets and confectioneries.

Kawagoe is known for its old Edo buildings.

This shop sells old school 80s sweets. Where the hell they get the supply from?

Soon the sky turned dark, and streets were wow! with the lights

1000yen shop

Lanterns

Kawagoe's local specialty, yam cake


Ghost house?

I just love the look of Kawagoe at night. The illuminations and the old Edo feel were just splendid.


And this was the main aim of going to Kawagoe, Windows7 Whopper.. Same height as small coke!


After 2 bites..
