Close

Welcome to our tranquil Japanese Style Inn “Matsumuraya Ryokan”, which is conveniently located near the “Toki No Kane” (19th Century Bell Tower) and the nostalgic “Kurazukuri” (Historic clay-walled buildings Warehouse District).

Please spend a relaxing time in our reputable long-running Ryokan from the Meiji era.

History of Kawagoe:

During the Edo Period (1603-1868), Kawagoe prospered as a supplier of commodities to Tokyo. Even now, it retains an ambiance reminiscent of an old town from that Period, well-known for “Kurazukuri” Street, “Kitain” and “Tousyougu” temples, and various other attractions that remind us of centuries past. Accordingly, Kawagoe is known as “KOEDO” (Little Edo).

Other notable sites of interest include “Hikawa Jinjya”, the famous matchmaking shrine, and “Toki No Kane”, a symbol of Kawagoe that is still ringing out the time.

The Kawagoe Festival, which is held in Autumn, is famous for its parade of magnificent floats around the old town area. Excited crowds are drawn there to celebrate every year.

Kawagoe has many local culinary delicacies, such as eel (known for its aphrodisiac properties) and sweet potato. In addition to a wide selection of Japanese cuisine, people can also enjoy a variety of international dining options in the area restaurants.

Please enjoy a journey back in time, where you can experience the authentic Japanese culture and sensibilities.
