[Saitama/Kawagoe🇯🇵] The long puffed sweets are a must-buy! Dagashiya Yokocho

The charm of Kawagoe's "Dagashiya Yokocho" (Candy Alley) is the nostalgic, warm atmosphere of the Showa era, where you can rediscover your childhood while picking up old-fashioned snacks and toys. ☺️

This alley, a small alleyway that still retains a strong sense of old-fashioned Japan, is packed with unique candy stores. The storefronts are packed with colorful sweets you can buy with coins like 10 and 20 yen, as well as nostalgic toys like paper balloons and water whistles. For adults, it's a place that evokes memories, while for children, it's a treasure trove of excitement.

The candy has unique appearances and packaging, and a wide variety of flavors. From classics like bekkoame (bekko candy), kinako sticks, ramune (ramune soybeans), and umaibo (sweet popcorn candy), to unique local products, the alley offers something for everyone. Enjoy sampling the snacks as you stroll along the street. The friendly atmosphere at each shop and the friendly interactions with the shopkeepers are a unique charm of this place. 🎶

In addition, with seasonal decorations and events, you'll discover something new every time you visit. The harmony of old and new, even a casual stroll through the alley is a special experience, relaxing your soul.

Dagashiya Yokocho is like a "nostalgic theme park" that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Why not stop by and find some memories of your trip during your Kawagoe sightseeing?
