Kawagoe History Museum

Reviewed By setweb0709 - Tokyo, Japan

This museum is very unique, "all you can take photos" on Azuchi-Momoya-Edo Samurai, Ninjya Katana, Yoroi, tools, paintings and etc., more than a couple hundred of things are displayed. I have never seen in such museum in Japan, most of places are protected by "NO PHOTO", but this place is permitted and it is all real, not replicas.

Kawagoe Matsuri Kaikan

Reviewed By 255vickyb - Edmonton, Canada

This is a definite must see, the staff are very friendly and happy to share their knowledge. There is a video about the festival and floats as well as a lecture. The floats are beyond amazing! The detail and the work is incredible. Lots of places to sit down, modern bathrooms and very nice people. My wallet was happy that the gift shop did not have mall replicas as I would have bought them all. Photography is allowed everywhere except not video taping the videos.
