Kawagoe Kashiya-yokochou
In Kawagoe, there is a street is lined by many shops of cheep sweets. These shops sell a lot of Japanese ''Dagashi''. For example, candies, rice crackers, dango, Tai-yaki, rice cakes and so on. Many tourists, students on school trip or TV personalities visit there. The nearest station is Seibu-shinjuku line, Honkawagoe station. It takes about eighteen minutes on foot.

Do
Shiba-zakura
Shiba-zakura is a cherry blossom grows up at grass. At Hitsujiyama-Koen in Chichibu, you can see many pink or white flowers. Shiba-zakura covers ground, likes carpets of flowers. The best season of seeing is from around the middle of April to the beginning of May. And I recommend you to walk in hiking course from the nearest station, Yokoze station in sunny day. It takes about twenty or thirty minutes to get to Hitsujiyama-Koen on foot. You can enjoy beautiful nature view and clean air.


Eat
Fresh fruits
In Chichibu there are many greenhouses and farms of fruits. You can pick many fruits, grape, strawberry, plum and so on. And you can eat them soon. Fresh fruits are very juicy and sweet. There are plans that you can eat them as much as you like at a lot of farms. I recommend you picking of blueberry. The season of blueberry is early summer, from the middle of June to the middle of July.


Drink
Chichibu wine
Chichibu wine is famous for Gensaku-jirushi. Gensaku is a name of the first man who brewed it at beginning of Showa. The maker has strained to keep soil of grape field good condition since then. So, natural taste has never changed. Chichibu wine's taste is clear and aftertaste is very good.
There are some kinds of Chichibu wine. Gensaku-jirusi wine (red, white and roze) 720ml is ￥1050.
