🍡 Sweet Nostalgia: Traditional Treats at Kameya Eisen, Kawagoe 🏮

Tucked along the nostalgic streets of Kawagoe’s Kurazukuri district, Kameya Eisen is a delightful stop for anyone with a sweet tooth or a love for traditional Japanese culture. Housed in a historic building, the shop immediately catches your eye with its old-world charm—and stepping inside feels like walking back in time.

The interior is lined with neatly arranged shelves of classic Japanese sweets and pastries, from red bean treats to seasonal mochi and delicate wagashi. What made it extra special was watching some of these confections baked fresh right in the store, filling the air with an inviting, homey aroma.
