The best time to visit "old" Kawagoe is in the fall (late october, early November) when there is lots of yaki-imo (fried sweet potato) for sale. The truck venders come by with "oishii yakiimo" over their PA systems. I used to buy lots of imo from them. Kawagoe is also near the areas where they grow lots of ume and make ume-shu, which is my favorite alcoholic beverage. I lived in Kawagoe from 1998 to 2000.

However I can provide no further information of interest about the significance of the place that Curzon has not already. http://photos.darin-tenbruggencate.com/?level=album&id=57 http://photos.darin-tenbruggencate.com/?level=album&id=101 I’ve got some pictures from a few trips there too if anyone is interested.

It was a fun place to visit, I'd definitely be up for another visit sometime soon. Yeah, “Masshiro Hakujin” Darin too—but hey, it was a date with the wife!
